This project aims to investigate the records of the now-submerged Pilbara coast (50,000 to 7000 years ago). Nearly a third of Australia’s landmass was drowned after the last ice age, and sea-level change displaced generations of people. Submerged landscape archaeology will help reveal past sea-level rise, population resilience, mobility and diet. The project integrates cultural and environmental studies and material analysis, and adapts a method from the world’s only confirmed submarine middens. It will use marine and aerial survey techniques to investigate physical and cultural submerged landscapes. This project expects to influence heritage and environmental management and the marine heritage sector.

该项目旨在调查现在被淹没的皮尔巴拉海岸（5万至7000年前）的记录。在上一个冰河时代之后，澳大利亚近三分之一的陆地被淹没，海平面的变化使几代人流离失所。水下景观考古学将有助于揭示过去的海平面上升，人口弹性，流动性和饮食。该项目整合了文化和环境研究以及材料分析，并采用了世界上唯一确认的海底垃圾堆的方法。它将利用海洋和航空勘测技术调查水下自然景观和文化景观。该项目预计将影响遗产和环境管理以及海洋遗产部门。
