Abstract

ABSTRACT In 2019, the Ewamian Aboriginal Corporation, together with archaeologists and community rangers, set out to challenge the idea that the Undara lava tubes of Far North Queensland, Australia were places Aboriginal people avoided in the past. Our initial motivation was for Ewamian cultural values to be included in park planning, alongside the natural values. Over 12 months, a team of archaeologists and community rangers conducted surveys in Undara Volcanic National Park and carried out a small test pit excavation at Darcy Cave. So far, we have surveyed 15 tubes, 12 containing cultural material, and found evidence of at least 1000 years of human occupation. Our research demonstrates the value and challenges of Indigenous archaeologies in an under-investigated part of northern Australia.

Undara考古项目的初步成果

摘要2019年，Ewamian原住民公司与考古学家和社区护林员一起，开始挑战澳大利亚昆士兰极北的Undara熔岩管是原住民过去避开的地方的观点。我们最初的动机是将埃瓦米人的文化价值观与自然价值观一起纳入公园规划。在12个多月的时间里，一个由考古学家和社区护林员组成的团队在Undara火山国家公园进行了调查，并在Darcy洞穴进行了一个小型试坑挖掘。到目前为止，我们已经调查了15个试管，其中12个装有文化材料，并发现了至少1000年人类占领的证据。我们的研究证明了澳大利亚北部一个调查不足的地区土著考古学家的价值和挑战。

期刊介绍： Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
