From Baskets to Boomerangs: Knowledges, Lifeways and Colonial Legacies

该项目旨在通过对纤维和木材制成的物品进行全面研究，从标志性的回旋镖到编织篮子，从而改变我们对澳大利亚土著生活方式的理解。尽管几千年来对工具箱至关重要，但关于植物技术的系统研究一直很有限，尽管关于它们的创造的知识已经代代相传。该项目由穆雷河传统所有者发起，将采用创新的考古科学技术，探索殖民遗产，并使用创造性的参与方法，为土著经历的多样性提供新的见解，并将传统所有者与博物馆内的物质文化遗产联系起来。

This project aims to transform our understanding of Australian Aboriginal lifeways by undertaking a comprehensive study of objects made from fibre and wood, from iconic boomerangs through to woven basketry. Although crucial to toolkits for millennia, systematic research about plant-based technologies has been limited, even though knowledge about their creation has been passed down across generations. This project, initiated by River Murray Traditional Owners, will employ innovative archaeological science techniques, explore colonial legacies and use creative engagement methods to provide new insights into the diversity of Aboriginal experiences and connect Traditional Owners with their material cultural heritage housed in museums.
