This project aims to transform our understanding of the deep-time Aboriginal occupation of Victoria's Snowy River landscape, by excavating a network of sites dating back to >52,000 years. This project expects to generate new knowledge in archaeology and palaeoclimatology through partnership research in Gunaikurnai Country. Expected outcomes of this project include unprecedented details of Aboriginal occupation, ritual installations, wooden artefacts, ancient human DNA, use of deep caves and open landscapes, and economic strategies dating back to the Last Ice Age and beyond. This should provide significant benefits in community research, greater social understandings of Aboriginal connections with Country, and a more inclusive Australia.

该项目旨在通过挖掘可追溯至 52,000 年以上的遗址网络，转变我们对维多利亚雪河景观长期原住民占领的理解。该项目预计通过古奈库尔奈县的合作研究产生考古学和古气候学方面的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括原住民占领、仪式设施、木制工艺品、古代人类 DNA、深洞穴和开放景观的使用以及可追溯到最后一个冰河时代及以后的经济策略的前所未有的细节。这将为社区研究、加深社会对原住民与国家联系的理解以及建设更具包容性的澳大利亚带来重大益处。
