Description
TOM AUSTEN BROWN STUDIES IN AUSTRALASIAN ARCHAEOLOGY
Between the Murray and the sea: Aboriginal archaeology in southeastern Australia explores the Indigenous archaeology of Victoria, focusing on areas south and east of the Murray River.
Looking at multiple sites from the region, David Frankel considers what the archaeological evidence reveals about Indigenous society, migration, and hunting techniques. He looks at how an understanding of the changing environment, combined with information drawn from 19th-century ethnohistory, can inform our interpretation of the archaeological record. In the process, he investigates the nature of archaeological evidence and explanation, and proposes approaches for future research.
“A carefully crafted and impressively illustrated depiction of the economic and social lives of past Aboriginal peoples who lived in the diverse landscapes that existed between the Murray and the sea. This book will be valuable to both specialists and non-specialists alike, as it provides a foundation for thinking about the remarkable variety of ways Aboriginal foragers adapted to the lands of southeastern Australia.” – Peter Hiscock, Tom Austen Brown Professor of Australian Archaeology, the University of Sydney.
