Interrogating the Riverland's colonial frontier

该项目旨在对南澳的Riverland地区的殖民边界进行首次全面研究，该地区是全国重要的殖民活动以及对土著人民的暴力的场所。虽然以前的研究集中在历史记录中的离散事件，但本项目将使用多层次的策略来探索过去和现在。通过结合考古学、人类学和口述历史证据，该项目预计将为土著后代并与土著后代一起产生有意义的叙述。这些见解应该大大有助于了解澳大利亚和全球的殖民边界。

This project aims to deliver the first comprehensive study of the colonial frontier in South Australia’s Riverland, a region that was the scene of nationally significant colonial endeavours coupled with violence towards Aboriginal people. While previous studies have focused on discrete events from the historical record, this project will to use a multi-layered strategy to explore this past and present. By coalescing archaeological, anthropological and oral history evidencethis project expects to generate meaningful narratives for and with Aboriginal descendants. These insights should substantially contribute to understandings about the colonial frontier in Australia and globally.
