标题： "Bridging the Gap" through Australian Cultural Astronomy

摘要： 在50,000多年的时间里，土著澳大利亚人将天体事件融入他们的口述传统，并利用天体的运动进行导航、时间管理、食物经济和社会结构。 在本文中，我们探讨了原住民如何通过寻找使用天体进行时间管理的书面记录、恒星升起和落下作为特殊事件的指示器、变星的记录观测、太阳周期和月相（包括海洋潮汐和日食）在口述传统中的应用，以及春分、夏至和方位点的天文测量方法。 显示英文摘要

摘要： For more than 50,000 years, Indigenous Australians have incorporated celestial events into their oral traditions and used the motions of celestial bodies for navigation, time-keeping, food economics, and social structure. In this paper, we explore the ways in which Aboriginal people made careful observations of the sky, measurements of celestial bodies, and incorporated astronomical events into complex oral traditions by searching for written records of time-keeping using celestial bodies, the use of rising and setting stars as indicators of special events, recorded observations of variable stars, the solar cycle, and lunar phases (including ocean tides and eclipses) in oral tradition, as well as astronomical measurements of the equinox, solstice, and cardinal points.
