Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper outlines preliminary results from our multimethod research about Culturally Modified Trees (CMTs) and associated bark and wooden material culture in Yagara Country in southeast Queensland. Methods employed include historical source and modern database analysis, archaeological field surveys, semi‐structured interviews with Yagara Traditional Owners and recording of bark and wooden objects housed in museums/institutions. Our work aims to highlight the complexity of Yagara biocultural knowledge and to produce practical models that will assist with the recording and interpretation of Yagara CMTs.
