Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming

尽管丹皮尔群岛的岩画和石头特征具有公认的国家遗产意义，但几乎没有研究帮助了解这种艺术是在什么时候、为什么以及如何产生的。这一景观被占领，艺术创作于8-6000年前海平面上升之前和之后。制定可靠的占领年表将使艺术在群岛和邻近的阿比多斯平原的土地使用系统中发挥的作用得以重建。这一目标是通过瞄准和分析与群岛最早的艺术相关的景观来实现的。第二个目的是探索与这个地方的当代社会联系，回到与历史上的海员和殖民定居者的第一次接触。

Despite the acknowledged National Heritage significance of the Dampier Archipelago's petroglyphs and stone features, there has been little research which assists in knowing when, why and how this art was produced. This landscape was occupied and art was produced both before and after sea level rise c.8-6,000 years ago. Developing a reliable chronology of occupation will allow a reconstruction of the role that art played in land-use systems of the Archipelago and adjacent Abydos Plain. This aims to be achieved by targeting and analysing landscapes associated with the earliest art of the Archipelago. The second aim is to explore contemporary social connections to this place back to first contact with historical seafarers and colonial settlers.
