Flinders University maritime archaeologists will research parts of the Northern Territory and Western Australian coast to find Indigenous artefacts from a time when sea levels were lower, combining archaeology, marine science and Indigenous knowledge, in a new study that has been funded by the Australian Research Council.
The Submerged cultural landscapes and the underwater heritage of sea country project was awarded $1,118,902 by the council under the Future Fellowships scheme, and will be led by maritime archaeologist Professor Jonathan Benjamin.
