This project aims to produce data of national scientific and social significance that will assist our understanding of the nature of Aboriginal settlement in northwestern Australia and the role that rock art played in this process. This project aims to cement Australia as a world leader in rock art analysis and dating and thus will have cultural and scientific benefits to the nation. This project will consolidate a long-term strategic alliance between Aboriginal Traditional Owners and their Ranger groups, researchers and Industry. This collaborative partnership will greatly enhance and improve the promotion, conservation and management of cultural heritage in Western Australia, thereby achieving long lasting national economic, environmental and social benefits.
