The Earliest Australians' Adaptations across Western Australia

该项目旨在调查第一批到达澳大利亚的人如何应对和适应不同的环境和不断变化的生态系统。该项目将分析来自西澳大利亚州8个关键地点的人类活动的微观遗迹，这些遗迹的年代在5万至7 000年前。这将产生新的证据，最早的技术，生态和景观管理，自上一个冰河时代以来的环境变化。通过国际合作，将对最早的生态行为和对不同生态系统的适应产生新的理解，这将为澳大利亚考古学带来重要成果，并推动传统所有者参与对其深层遗产的科学研究。

This project aims to investigate how the first people to arrive in Australia responded and adapted to diverse environments and changing ecosystems. This project will analyse microscopic remains of human activity from eight key sites in Western Australia, dated between 50,000 and 7,000 years ago. This will generate new evidence on the earliest technology, ecology and landscape management, in relation to environmental changes since the last Ice Age. New understandings on the earliest ecological behaviour and adaptations to diverse ecosystems will be generated through international collaboration, with important outcomes for Australian archaeology and advancing Traditional Owners' engagement in this scientific study of their deep-time heritage.
