Our exploration of the region includes a consideration of the archaeological record via fieldwork undertaken with traditional owners, an ethnohistorical investigation of the area’s traditional significance as well as a consideration of the effects of European invasion and settlement. Together the records reveal the Ma:ko region to be a highly significant node in the Riverland’s cultural landscape. The Ma:ko region’s cultural significance (inclusive of its ochre and chert/silcrete resources) likely contributed to the area becoming a site of ongoing cross-cultural conflict in the colonial period.}, number = {2}, urldate = {2023-05-09}, journal = {Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia}, author = {Roberts, Amy L. and Popelka-Filcoff, Rachel and Westell, Craig}, month = jul, year = {2022}, note = {Publisher: Taylor \& Francis \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/03721426.2022.2111055}, keywords = {Indigenous peoples, Urban planning}, pages = {319--340}, }
