Archaeology of the Gulf Province Lowlands, Papua New Guinea

该项目涉及巴布亚新几内亚、法国、美国、加拿大和澳大利亚研究人员之间的国际合作，从而有助于这些国家之间的建设性国际联系。这些合作是在地方社区和国家机构一级进行的，涉及相互参与实地和实验室研究。它们还为许多巴布亚新几内亚和澳大利亚考古学学生提供机会，以获得宝贵的实地考察经验和考古方法培训，并在涉及科学研究人员和土著社区的合作伙伴关系中工作。这项研究将有助于国家身份调查史前文化与巴布亚新几内亚在澳大利亚东北部的家门口。

This project involves international collaboration between PNG, French, US, Canadian & Australian researchers, and thus contributes to constructive international links between these countries. These collaborations are at local community and national institutional levels, and involve mutual participation in field and laboratory research. They also provide opportunities for numerous PNG and Australian archaeology students to gain valuable fieldwork experience and training in archaeological methods and in working in partner relationships involving scientific researchers and Indigenous communities. This research will contribute to National Identity in investigating prehistoric cultural links with PNG at NE Australia's doorstep.
