Colonial encounters: Archaeology at Ebenezer Mission, north-western Victoria

从19世纪60年代开始，澳大利亚东南部的大多数原住民都被限制在埃比尼泽使命等保留地，尽管官方的说法认为“文明”事业取得了成功，但考古证据有望提供一个新的原住民视角。与原住民后裔合作，对这个关键地点的调查将揭示1。日常生活的使命是如何经历了不同的社会群体：土著女孩，男孩，家庭和'边缘'居民，摩拉维亚传教士，2。性别组织在殖民过程中的作用，3。原住民文化身份是如何通过传教塑造的。一系列的一般和学术历史将产生。

From the 1860s, most Aboriginal people in south-eastern Australia were confined to reserves such as Ebenezer Mission, and despite official accounts which argue for the success of the 'civilising' enterprise, archaeological evidence promises to provide a new Indigenous perspective. Investigation of this key site, in collaboration with Aboriginal descendants, will reveal 1. How everyday life on the mission was experienced by different social groups: Aboriginal girls, boys, families and 'fringe' dwellers, and Moravian missionaries, 2. The role of gender organisation within the colonial process, and 3. How Aboriginal cultural identity was shaped by missionisation. A range of general and scholarly histories will be produced.
