Funded Activity Summary
Shadow Continent: Submerged Histories from Sahul. This project aims to investigate the cultural and environmental histories of Australia's drowned coastlines and what they reveal about past and future sea-level rise in the Australian region. Drawing on scientific understandings of the ancient continent of Sahul, it expects to generate new knowledge about environmental change and people-sea relationships. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity to build disciplinary collaborations in the fields of history, heritage and archaeology and establishing the first historical overview of Sahul. Benefits include recommendations to protect and manage Australia’s underwater cultural heritage and a narrative framework to advance public knowledge of Australia’s deep human history.Funded Activity Details
