CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

We Have Always Been Here!  Aboriginal Colonisation and use of the Central Queensland Coast by Dr Bryce Barker

The aims of this project are threefold.  Firstly the project aims to increase our knowledge of the Aboriginal mainland occupation of the central Queensland coast by explicitly testing the regional model for late Holocene change posited for the central Queensland coast based on the extensive research of the Whitsunday Islands (Barker 2004), secondly and linked to this, to continue previous research on regional rock art in the context of  further recording of rock art styles spatially as well as attempting, through excavation to establish temporality of rock art in the region and thirdly to attempt to  provide evidence of late Pliestocene occupation in the Bowen Burdekin region.
