Abstract

AbstractIndonesian trepang sites along the Kimberley coastline provide evidence for recent, regular contact between Asia and Australia. This paper summarises the known history of the Indonesian trepang industry in the Kimberley, then describes a number of sites recorded as part of a larger research project on Asian cultural contact in the region. It concludes that recent Indonesian sites along the Kimberley coast contain a range of information not otherwise documented, while older Indonesian sites could shed light on important aspects of Australian prehistory.
