Aboriginal Sandstone quarries, exchange and the history of seedgrinding in Australia

交流网络是从土著群体之间一系列复杂的互动发展而来的，允许商品、仪式和故事在澳大利亚各地流动。通过对来自这些地方的砂岩采石场和研磨石的研究，将对交易所的演变和发展进行审查。跨学科方法涉及砂岩和研磨石的地质特征，以及对生产和使用的考古调查。这项研究的结果将提供交换网络在经济和社会背景下的古老图景。

Exchange networks, developed from a complex series of interactions between Aboriginal groups, have permitted the movement of goods, ceremonies and stories across the Australian landscape. Examination of the evolution and development of exchange will be undertaken through the study of sandstone quarries and the grinding stones that were derived from these places. The interdisciplinary approach involves geological characterisation of the sandstones and the grinding stones coupled with an archaeological investigation of production and use. The results of this study will provide a picture of the antiquity of exchange networks in an economic and social context.
