Aboriginal People of Coastal Sydney
By exploring the historical and archaeological records we can glimpse at the past. The evidence reveals the rich and complex customs of peoples in the past and the importance of the Harbour in their daily lives. To contemporary Indigenous Australians, the Harbour has a continuing importance. The findings of Australian Museum archaeologist Dr Val Attenbrow's Port Jackson Archaeology Project, and research undertaken for her book, Sydney's Aboriginal Past, provide a basis for the material used in this section of the Australian Museum website.
