Nuclear Nation: a contemporary archaeology of Australia's atomic heritage

学者们对澳大利亚的核科学史越来越感兴趣，但这一有争议的遗产的物理遗迹仍有待调查。这一跨学科项目将汇集顶尖学者、馆长、科学家和原住民研究人员，利用创新的当代考古学方法，对澳大利亚原子遗产在全球范围内的重要性产生新的理解。预期成果包括提高遗产管理能力，以及了解和解释澳大利亚在核时代的作用的新资源和新方法。这应该会为合作伙伴组织以及更广泛的澳大利亚旅游和文化部门带来实质性的好处。

The history of nuclear science in Australia is of growing interest to scholars, however the physical remains of this controversial legacy are yet to be investigated. This interdisciplinary project would bring together leading academics, curators, scientists and First Nations researchers, using innovative contemporary archaeology approaches, to generate new understandings of the significance of Australia’s atomic heritage in global context. Expected outcomes include improved capacity for heritage management, and new resources and methods for understanding and interpreting Australia’s role in the Nuclear Age. This should generate substantial benefits for the Partner Organisations, and for Australia's tourism and cultural sectors more broadly.
