Resurrecting the power in the stones, developing a modern narrative of the agency and sentience of powerful stones, and recreating shared knowledge encounters at Gummingurru and its associated site architecture

The archaeological evidence at the Gummingurru site demonstrates that motifs are both “created and creating” (following terminology used by Gosden & Head, 1994). Head argue a social landscape shapes human behaviour into “socially conditioned configurations” (Gosden 1994, p. 113). Echoing Giddens, who said “time space produced producing” (cited in ibid), claim that: Landscapes created creating. shaped action through processes such as clearance, erosion deposition; they also shapers of encouraging constraining various forms landuse inter-regional connections. It is this conjunction forces which makes it necessary to reconstruct history physical landscape, studies past vegetation geomorphology together with way groups have patterned their activities across surface earth 114, emphasis added).
