This book reveals the ancient past of Aboriginal 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 looks beyond the stereotype of Aboriginal people as 'hunter-gatherers' and charts new and challenging agendas for Australian Aboriginal archaeology.

Insightful, interesting and at times provocative. This is a key text for understanding the development of Australian archaeology. --Clair Smith, president, World Archaeological Congress
