Abstract

Australian archaeologists wishing to undertake research into Aboriginal history in New South Wales are required to consult with local Aboriginal communities and obtain permission to excavate before permits are granted by the government body. We present a case study of Aboriginal community involvement in a major archaeological research project at Cuddie Springs in western NSW. The discussion is based on the experiences of the project director and local Aboriginal people working on the project in various capacities. Cuddie Springs is one example of Aboriginal involvement in archaeology where the needs of both parties have not been compromised in any significant way. There have been costs and gains for the Aboriginal community, researchers and their research. Neither party views this relationship as business-like; instead, the establishment and continual renewal of social commitments provides the foundation of successful collaboration.
