  • The Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies has recently supported an investiation of chnging patterns of Aborginal settlement and land use in a sample area within the south-west of Australia centred on Perth. Afte eighteen months* of work, significant patterns are becoming apparent, specific problems have clarified and hypotheses emerged, to be tested against further fieldwork and analysis of early written sources. Three main classes of data have been used in the survey: from ethnohistorical sources, from field survey, and from excavation. Each contributed to the analysis, interpretation and further pursuit of the others.
