Change and continuity: chronology, archaeology and art in the North Kimberley, Northwest Australia [ 2009 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Prof MJ Morwood; Dr J Ross; Dr KE Westaway

Brief description The project will tackle some of the most basic questions concerning cultural continuity and change in Australia - in a region that has a long history of 'outside' contact, and a spectacular Aboriginal rock art sequence of world heritage significance. It will be undertaken in partnership with local indigenous communities, representative organisations and other stakeholders, and will provide a venue for the training of indigenous and student participants. As well as high quality research outcomes, the project will produce information for strategic management of the Kimberley's unique cultural and natural heritage
