Abstract

[Extract] This research employs the concept of 'archaeologies of attachment', with its emphasis on material culture and intangible heritage, and applies it to an Indigenous Australian seascape - an approach rarely or thoroughly combined in maritime studies. The seascape investigated is the Wardang Island (Waraldi/Waradharldhi)/Point Pearce Peninsula (Burgiyana) area in South Australia. This region (and the wider Yorke Peninsula area) is the traditional country of the Narungga people. Collaborative fieldwork with Narungga people has revealed the importance of combining archaeological surveys with place-based oral history interviews to understand the extent of Narungga attachment to this seascape. In particular, place-based interviews conducted with Narungga elders contributed vital 'lived experiences' to the understanding of the archaeological record, providing a meaningful and textured account of the past.
