- Summary:
-
"In recent times, archaeologists have unearthed a vast wealth of knowledge about Australia - from tens of thousands of years ago to the very recent past. But the last three decades have been times of confrontation, compromise and uneasy reconciliation between archaeologists, indigenous people, governments and others with a stake in cultural places. Ancient tradition and contemporary politics repeatedly clash as established ways of practising archaeology come into conflict with Aboriginal and other rights movements - and come into the headlines. Tourism and development threaten the world's most ancient art, indigenous ancestral remains are removed from museum collections, and debates over the date of first human settlement in Australia meet debates about Aboriginal rights claims. The shifting world of Australian archaeology reflects the great social and political transformations throughout the world over the last half-century."
