This project aims to substantially extend our knowledge of the vast but poorly characterised submerged cultural landscapes on the Australian continental shelf, which remains one of the critical gaps in Australian archaeology. Original fieldwork will target locations in Western Australia and the Northern Territory to enrich and contextualise the submerged archaeological record within the broader discourse. The project will combine archaeology, marine science and Indigenous knowledge to enhance our understanding of Pleistocene and early Holocene human-environment dynamics. Research will be undertaken in partnership with Traditional Owners and will support a national policy for the protection of Indigenous underwater cultural heritage.

该项目旨在大幅扩展我们对澳大利亚大陆架上巨大但特征不佳的水下文化景观的了解，这仍然是澳大利亚考古学的关键空白之一。最初的实地考察将针对西澳大利亚州和北领地的地点，以丰富和背景化更广泛的话语中的水下考古记录。 该项目将结合联合收割机考古学，海洋科学和土著知识，以提高我们对更新世和全新世早期人类环境动力学的理解。研究将与传统所有者合作进行，并将支持保护土著水下文化遗产的国家政策。
