Landscape archaeology at Lake Mungo

芒戈新月形的南端是澳大利亚土著历史的象征。尽管它的国际意义，考古痕迹已解体的弦月已经侵蚀了过去30年。在这个跨学科的项目中，与来自威兰德拉湖区世界遗产区的长老合作，预计将重建环境变化的历史和第一批人类定居该地区的生活方式。重点将是将分散在空间和时间上的考古痕迹拼接在一起，并测量现代沉积物侵蚀和沉积的过程，以便为未来保护澳大利亚过去的这一独特档案制定管理战略。

The southern tip of the Mungo lunette is an icon of Australia's Indigenous past. Despite its international significance, the archaeological traces have disintegrated as the lunette has eroded over the past 30 years. In this interdisciplinary project, collaboration with Elders from the Willandra Lakes Region World Heritage Area is expected to reconstruct the history of environmental changes and the life-ways of the first humans to settle this region. The focus will be on stitching together the archaeological traces scattered through space and time, and on measuring processes of modern sediment erosion and deposition so as to develop management strategies for the future protection of this unique archive of Australia's past.
