This project examines the archaeology of Aboriginal people in eastern Tasmania. Its major aim is to test two models of Holocene and late Pleistocene land use. It investigates the earliest traces of human occupation in eastern Tasmania and subsequent cultural developments after the apparent abandonment of southwest Tasmanian caves at the end of the ice age. The study aims to strengthen understanding of the impact of geographic connectedness and isolation on Aboriginal populations and the development of Tasmanian Aboriginal society recorded at European contact. Its potential significance lies in contributing to debates on Aboriginal social/economic change and stasis.

该项目研究塔斯马尼亚东部土著人的考古学。其主要目的是检验全新世和晚更新世两种土地利用模式。它调查了塔斯马尼亚东部最早的人类居住痕迹，以及在冰河时代结束时塔斯马尼亚西南部洞穴明显被遗弃后的文化发展。这项研究旨在加强了解地理上的联系和隔离对土著人口的影响，以及欧洲人接触记录的塔斯马尼亚土著社会的发展。它的潜在意义在于促进关于土著社会/经济变化和停滞的辩论。
