Rockshelters and Rock Art in the River Murray Gorge: New Data and Syntheses

这个项目是与墨累河和马利土著公司合作进行的，目的是探索南澳墨累河峡谷上游的土著岩石艺术和岩石掩蔽所。该项目将在该地区进行50多年来首次分层岩石掩体遗址的考古发掘，并记录一批受到威胁和迅速减少的岩石艺术，将结合其考古意义考虑所确定遗址的文化重要性，以产生有意义的叙述。对全新世的社会和环境变化将产生新的认识。传统业主将受益于一系列社会经济能力建设措施。

This project, undertaken in partnership with the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, aims to explore Aboriginal rock art and rockshelter occupation deposits in the Upper Murray River Gorge, South Australia. The project will conduct the first archaeological excavations of stratified rockshelter sites in this region in more than 50 years and record a threatened and rapidly diminishing corpus of rock art. The cultural importance of the located sites will be considered in conjunction with their archaeological significance to produce meaningful narratives. New understandings about Holocene societal and environmental changes will be generated. Traditional owners will benefit from a range of socio-economic capacity-building measures.
