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.

该项目旨在通过维多利亚州洛登河流域的案例研究，探讨从古代到近代，水的获取和用火如何影响土地利用。通过将原住民和历史考古学与原住民研究联系起来，该项目旨在开发一个涵盖澳大利亚整个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，以及提高原住民实现教育和土地管理目标的能力。这应该会带来显着的好处，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信息。
