Abstract

This article explores the ancient aboriginal practice of using fire to condition ecosystems, in order to produce food production and procurement. Primarily concerned is the use of fire to create ash, which acted as fertiliser, along with rainwater, in order to bring consistency and change to vegetation, and therefore the animals that fed upon them, and the ancient aboriginals that fed upon vegetation and animals through foraging and hunting. Also considered are typed of plants burned, for the purpose of producing specific types of ash as specific types of fertiliser, for specific types of plant growth. Considered throughout this article is the historical scenario that ancient aboriginals used these methods in order to deliberately manage the land, its vegetation, the animals that fed upon them, and the peoples that fed upon them.

古澳大利亚:被人类和火所驯服的土地
这篇文章探讨了古代原住民使用火来调节生态系统,以生产和采购食物的做法。主要关注的是用火制造灰烬,作为肥料,连同雨水,为了给植被带来一致性和变化,从而给以它们为食的动物,以及通过觅食和狩猎以植物和动物为食的古代土著人。还考虑了燃烧的植物类型,以生产特定类型的灰烬作为特定类型的肥料,用于特定类型的植物生长。整篇文章都在考虑这样一个历史场景:古代土著居民使用这些方法是为了有意识地管理土地、植被、以它们为食的动物和以它们为食的人。
