Warratyi: Cultural Innovation in the Indigenous Settlement of Australia

该项目旨在确定文化创新在5万年前澳大利亚干旱地区土著定居点中的作用。利用创新的方法，它将产生关于关键技术、象征性行为以及人类与动物和环境的互动的新数据，以确定克服澳大利亚沙漠挑战所需的文化创新。预期的结果包括对干旱地区定居的新理解，为有关早期人类在边缘环境中的分散、定居和生活方式的全球辩论提供信息。预期的收益包括文化旅游和教育的新信息，以及支持南澳大利亚州弗林德斯山脉的世界遗产提名。

This project aims to determine the role of cultural innovation in the Indigenous settlement of Australia's arid zone 50,000 years ago. Using innovative methods, it will produce new data on key technologies, symbolic behaviours and human interactions with animals and environment to identify the cultural innovations needed to overcome the challenges of Australia's deserts. Expected outcomes include new understandings of the settlement of the arid zone to inform global debates relating to the dispersal, settlement and lifestyles of early humans in marginal environments. Expected benefits include new information for cultural tourism and education and to support South Australia’s World Heritage nomination for the Flinders Ranges.
