Before and after the Last Ice Age: GunaiKurnai archaeology along the Snowy

该项目旨在通过挖掘一个可追溯到52000年前的遗址网络，改变我们对维多利亚雪河景观中土著居民的长期占领的理解。该项目希望通过在古奈库尔奈国家的合作研究产生考古学和古气候学方面的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括前所未有的原住民占领细节、仪式设施、木制工艺品、古代人类DNA、深层洞穴和开放景观的使用，以及可追溯到上一个冰河时代及以后的经济战略。这将对社区研究、对土著居民与国家关系的更深入的社会理解以及一个更具包容性的澳大利亚提供重大好处。

This project aims to transform our understanding of the deep-time Aboriginal occupation of Victoria's Snowy River landscape, by excavating a network of sites dating back to >52,000 years. This project expects to generate new knowledge in archaeology and palaeoclimatology through partnership research in Gunaikurnai Country. Expected outcomes of this project include unprecedented details of Aboriginal occupation, ritual installations, wooden artefacts, ancient human DNA, use of deep caves and open landscapes, and economic strategies dating back to the Last Ice Age and beyond. This should provide significant benefits in community research, greater social understandings of Aboriginal connections with Country, and a more inclusive Australia.
