A public lecture : The Deep History of Sea Country: colonisation, submerged landscapes and the archaeology of Australia’s coasts Other events...
The sea is central to the lives of contemporary coastal Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia. Indigenous histories and archaeologies show the sea to be a vital source of subsistence, raw materials, spirituality and connection with other peoples. Coasts, and especially islands, were a focus of occupation in the past as in the present, with high population densities linked to sedentary lifestyles along much of the Australian coast. But what are the antecedents of these people-sea relationships? Nearly one-third of Australia’s landmass was drowned after the last ice age and generations of people were displaced by sea-level change. In this lecture we will explore what we know, what we think we know and what we would like to know about the deep history of coastal occupation in Australia.
