Highways to the Interior – Riverine Cultural Landscapes: Investigating the archaeology and social history of Australia’s River Systems
Speaker Dr Brad Duncan, Senior Maritime Archaeologist, Specialist Services Team, Heritage NSW
Prior to the introduction of major road networks across Australia, rivers acted as highways to the interior, linking vast expanses of prime agricultural land, natural resources and industries with local, national and international markets. Regardless of their size, navigable river systems also facilitated social and cultural contact between townships, not only by bringing valuable produce into and out of often remote areas, but also by acting as a conduit to link disparate communities. River systems therefore represent an opportunity to study interactive riverine cultural landscapes that often transcended state borders, linking isolated archaeological sites and oral and documentary histories, to provide a more comprehensive view of life on Australia’s interior waterways.
This presentation will highlight ongoing research in a number of river systems, with a particular focus on the Murray River and NSW northern rivers systems, to demonstrate the diversity of activities, industries, vessels and archaeological sites associated with Australian interior waterways.
The Under The Water Webinar Series is supported by the Honor Frost Foundation
