The Social Archaeology of Australian Indigenous Societies
presents original and provocative views on the complex and dynamic social lives of Indigenous Australians from an historical perspective. Building on the foundational work of Harry Lourandos, this collection critically examines and challenges traditional approaches which have presented Indigenous Australian pasts as static and tethered to ecological rationalism.The Social Archaeology of Australian Indigenous Societies
reveals the ancient past of Indigenous Australians to be one of long-term changes in social relationships and traditions, as well as the active management and manipulation of the environment. It encourages a deeper appreciation of the ways Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders have engaged with, and constructed their worlds. It solicits a more reflexive understanding of the contemporary political and social context of research and the insidious impacts of colonialist philosophies. In short, it concerns people: both past and present.Ultimately,
The Social Archaeology of Australian Indigenous Societies looks beyond the stereotype of Aboriginal peoples as ‘hunter-gatherers’ and charts new and challenging agendas for Australian Aboriginal archaeology.Go to our website <www.aiatsis.gov.au/asp> for

The Sea People: Late Holocene Maritime Specialisation in
the Whitsunday Islands, Central Queenland by Bryce Barker The Sea People presents the archaeological data relating to the Holocene occupation of the Whitsuday Islands region of the central Queensland coast. This research provides details of the two oldest sies of Aboriginal occupation on the tropical east coast of Australia, as well as formulating a model of late Holocene change for the wider region. Essentially this work supports the idea of a dynamic Aboriginal society and presents the archaeological evidence for a specialised marine Aboriginal culture continually utilising the marine environment thoughout the Holocene |
