This project aims to investigate how resistance to new and foreign practices and technologies can be a dynamic response to rapid cultural change, rather than a failure to innovate. The project will examine the underlying factors that influence innovation adoption and rejection. It will examine settlement structure and ritual activities in later prehistoric Cornwall, which was simultaneously a key node in the prehistoric economy and a periphery, with a distinctly local material culture and way of life. The intended outcome is a model of innovation and conservatism, linking the uptake of new ideas and technologies to participation in local and more widespread networks of contact and exchange. This project will increase the profile of Australian research in archaeology and technology on the world stage.

该项目旨在研究如何抵制新的和外国的做法和技术可以是一个动态的反应，迅速的文化变革，而不是创新的失败。该项目将研究影响创新采用和拒绝的潜在因素。它将研究史前康沃尔晚期的定居结构和仪式活动，康沃尔同时是史前经济的关键节点和外围，具有独特的当地物质文化和生活方式。预期的成果是建立一个创新和保守的模式，将新思想和新技术的吸收与参与当地和更广泛的接触和交流网络联系起来。该项目将提高澳大利亚在世界舞台上的考古学和技术研究的形象。
