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.

该项目旨在通过挖掘一个可追溯到52,000年以上的遗址网络，改变我们对维多利亚雪河景观的土著居民长期占领的理解。该项目希望通过在古奈库尔奈县的合作研究，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土著人占领的前所未有的细节，仪式装置，木制文物，古代人类DNA，使用深洞穴和开放景观，以及可追溯到最后一个冰河时代及以后的经济战略。这将为社区研究带来巨大的好处，使社会更好地理解土著人与国家的联系，并使澳大利亚更具包容性。
