Archaeology and Linguistics: Aboriginal Australia in Global Perspective

by Patrick McConvell

This important new collection of essays brings together exciting work in archaeology, linguistics, and genetics to reveal a varied and dynamic view of Australia's Aboriginal past--and of its place in the prehistory of the Pacific region. A picture emerges of sweeping changes happening in the last five thousand years, an active and detailed illustration at odds with prevailing notions of a static Aboriginal society.
