Interrogating the Riverland's colonial frontier

该项目旨在对南澳大利亚州里弗兰的殖民边界进行第一次全面研究，该地区是全国重大殖民努力的现场，同时也是针对土著人民的暴力行为的现场。虽然以前的研究集中在历史记录中的离散事件，但这个项目将使用多层次的策略来探索这一过去和现在。通过将考古学、人类学和口述历史证据结合起来，该项目期望为土著后裔和与土著后裔产生有意义的叙述。这些洞察力应该大大有助于理解澳大利亚乃至全球的殖民边疆。

This project aims to deliver the first comprehensive study of the colonial frontier in South Australia’s Riverland, a region that was the scene of nationally significant colonial endeavours coupled with violence towards Aboriginal people. While previous studies have focused on discrete events from the historical record, this project will to use a multi-layered strategy to explore this past and present. By coalescing archaeological, anthropological and oral history evidencethis project expects to generate meaningful narratives for and with Aboriginal descendants. These insights should substantially contribute to understandings about the colonial frontier in Australia and globally.
