From Baskets to Boomerangs: Knowledges, Lifeways and Colonial Legacies

该项目旨在通过对由纤维和木材制成的物品进行全面研究，从标志性的回飞镖到编织篮，改变我们对澳大利亚土著生活方式的理解。尽管数千年来对工具包至关重要，但对植物技术的系统研究一直有限，尽管有关其创造的知识已经代代相传。该项目由墨累河传统业主发起，将采用创新的考古科学技术，探索殖民遗产，并使用创造性的参与方法，为原住民经验的多样性提供新的见解，并将传统业主与博物馆中的物质文化遗产联系起来。

This project aims to transform our understanding of Australian Aboriginal lifeways by undertaking a comprehensive study of objects made from fibre and wood, from iconic boomerangs through to woven basketry. Although crucial to toolkits for millennia, systematic research about plant-based technologies has been limited, even though knowledge about their creation has been passed down across generations. This project, initiated by River Murray Traditional Owners, will employ innovative archaeological science techniques, explore colonial legacies and use creative engagement methods to provide new insights into the diversity of Aboriginal experiences and connect Traditional Owners with their material cultural heritage housed in museums.
