G’day mate! If you are looking at this blog you might wonder whatever possessed someone in the blog sphere to create such a site on Australian Southeastern Aboriginal burial sites.
The founders of this site are: Mary Mackenzie, Sebastian Irvine, and myself, Tessah Clark. We are students at the University of Victoria, currently in a terrific class called “Archaeology of Death.” The professor in particular is what makes this class so spectacular.
We were given free range for a group case study project, and after much deliberation we settled our hearts and minds on sampling aboriginal burial sites in South Eastern Australia.
Popular belief identifies South East Australian aborigines as simply small bands roaming across the landscape in search of resources. We have found this perception to be groundless. Alternatively, we have discovered aboriginal remains attest to the fact that they were often sedentary hunter-gatherers inhabiting spaces for multiple generations and who developed rich mortuary practices.
