Fire, Flood and Food: People and Landscape Change in Northern Victoria

该项目旨在通过对维多利亚州洛登河流域的案例研究，探索从古代到最近，获取水和使用火是如何塑造土地使用的。通过将土著和历史考古学与土著研究联系起来，该项目力求开发一套涵盖整个澳大利亚人类历史的创新综合数据集。预期成果包括关于人们如何应对环境和社会变化的新知识，以及提高土著人民实现其教育和土地管理目标的能力。这将为当代应对气候变化、水安全、火灾管理和可持续粮食生产提供重大益处。

The project aims to explore how access to water and the use of fire have shaped land use from ancient times to the recent past using the case study of the Loddon River basin, Victoria. By linking Aboriginal and historical archaeology and Aboriginal Studies the project seeks to develop an innovative integrated data set that spans the entirety of human history in Australia. Anticipated outcomes include new knowledge about how people have responded to environmental and social change and increased capacity for Aboriginal people to achieve their educational and land management goals. This should provide significant benefits that inform contemporary responses to climate change, water security, fire management, and sustainable food production.
