About This Item

Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 1999. Revised ed.. Paperback wide octavo, as new condition, black & white text-photos & drawings, colour plates, maps, minimal edgewear. Heavy (1.1 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 480 pp. Revised edition. A survey of the 40,000 years of Australia's human prehistory covering 60 years of archaeological research, including the controversy over the timing of first arrivals, extinction of megafauna and the diversity of Australia's rock art. This very special book explains why Aboriginal Australia is recognised today for its significance in global prehistory and why so many archaeological places have become World Heritage listed. Brings together the discoveries and often controversial interpretations of six decades of archaeological research. Reveals that across this island continent, with its contrasting environments and changing climates, human responses produced many Indigenous cultures and lifestyles. (Originally published by John Mulvaney, 1969, and here revised by Johan Kamminga.).
