Abstract

This paper describes a collaboration between Wilyakali Indigenous Custodians and a group of archaeologists. This collaboration has generated a shared and integrated understanding of the cultural landscape, Ancestral Creation Histories, and archaeology of the Broken Hill region of western New South Wales. The Broken Hill landscape is ancient beyond imagination, and complex geological processes/Creation Histories have resulted in distinctive landscape features and resources including quartz suitable for stone artefact manufacture. Wilyakali stone knappers employed specialised and varied technological processes to overcome the diverse and sometimes intractable nature of the quartz material, resulting in efficient use of this local stone resource. Wilyakali interpret the Country through their knowledge of the travelling sacred Bronzewing Pigeon and its creation of landscape features and resources such as quartz and water. Empirical archaeological data complement traditional knowledge, with the two ways of knowing coming together to reconstruct a nuanced interpretation of the cultural landscape. This shared narrative has had ongoing and inter-generational benefits to the Wilyakali people, with knowledge communicated to younger generations by Elders, enabling them to interpret both the archaeology and Ancestral Creation Histories with confidence. This paper also highlights the inconsistent recognition of Indigenous ways of knowing and connection in Aboriginal cultural heritage assessments in the region.

澳大利亚新南威尔士州西部布罗肯希尔,Wilyakali 和考古学家合作绘制布朗泽温鸽子的旅程图
本文介绍了维利亚卡利土著监护人与一群考古学家之间的合作。通过合作,双方对新南威尔士州西部布罗肯山地区的文化景观、祖先创世史和考古学有了共同的综合认识。布罗肯山的地貌古老得超乎想象,复杂的地质过程/创世史造就了独特的地貌特征和资源,包括适合制造石器的石英。维亚卡利石器制造者采用专业化和多样化的技术工艺来克服石英材料的多样性和有时难以克服的特性,从而有效地利用了当地的石材资源。威利亚卡利人通过他们对旅行圣物布朗泽温鸽子的了解,以及布朗泽温鸽子创造的景观特征和石英、水等资源,来解释这个国家。实证考古数据与传统知识相辅相成,两种认知方式共同重构了对文化景观的细微解读。这种共同的叙事方式为维亚卡利人带来了持续的、跨代的利益,长老们将知识传授给年轻一代,使他们能够自信地解释考古学和祖先创造史。本文还强调了该地区原住民文化遗产评估中对原住民认知方式和联系的认识不一致的问题。

期刊介绍: Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
