This project aims to re-examine two well-known sites (Malangangerr and Ngarradj) in Kakadu, an iconic World Heritage area and home to some of the oldest and richest archaeology in Australia. Little excavation has been carried out there in recent decades, and almost none using modern high resolution recovery techniques. This project will re-excavate Malangangerr and Ngarradj to determine whether other sites have a similar antiquity and record of early complex behaviour. This project could enhance understanding of Aboriginal culture in Kakadu, Australia's unique cultural heritage, the nature and timing of modern human dispersal, and how early Indigenous peoples responded to social and environmental change.

该项目旨在重新检查卡卡杜的两个著名地点（Malangangerr和Ngarradj），这是一个标志性的世界遗产地区，并且是澳大利亚一些最古老，最富有的考古学的所在地。近几十年来，几乎没有使用现代高分辨率恢复技术进行的发掘。该项目将重新开发Malangangerr和Ngarradj，以确定其他站点是否具有类似的古代和早期复杂行为的记录。该项目可以增强对澳大利亚独特的文化遗产，现代人类分散的性质和时机以及土著人民对社会和环境变化的反应的理解，卡卡杜（Kakadu）是澳大利亚独特的文化遗产，现代人类分散的本质和时机。
