Book Synopsis An Archaeology of Australia Since 1788 by : Susan Lawrence
Download or read book An Archaeology of Australia Since 1788 written by Susan Lawrence and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-21 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an important new synthesis of archaeological work carried out in Australia on the post-contact period. It draws on dozens of case studies from a wide geographical and temporal span to explore the daily life of Australians in settings such as convict stations, goldfields, whalers' camps, farms, pastoral estates and urban neighbourhoods. The different conditions experienced by various groups of people are described in detail, including rich and poor, convicts and their superiors, Aboriginal people, women, children, and migrant groups. The social themes of gender, class, ethnicity, status and identity inform every chapter, demonstrating that these are vital parts of human experience, and cannot be separated from archaeologies of industry, urbanization and culture contact. The book engages with a wide range of contemporary discussions and debates within Australian history and the international discipline of historical archaeology. The colonization of Australia was part of the international expansion of European hegemony in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The material discussed here is thus fundamentally part of the global processes of colonization and the creation of settler societies, the industrial revolution, the development of mass consumer culture, and the emergence of national identities. Drawing out these themes and integrating them with the analysis of archaeological materials highlights the vital relevance of archaeology in modern society.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Australia's History by : Graham Connah
Download or read book The Archaeology of Australia's History written by Graham Connah and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-12-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material world of European settlement in Australia has been uncovered not only by historians but also by the work of archaeologists. These archaeological inquiries have revealed new pictures of the public and private lives of Australians at home and at work. This book, previously published as a hardback under the title Of the Hut I Builded,now in paperback, presents the insights gained from such investigations and makes them available to a wide audience. Historical archaeology is broad ranging and this book discusses the first European towns, including those settlements that failed, the archaeological traces left by the convicts, and archaeological evidence of the agricultural, maritime, industrial, and manufacturing activities of early Australia. Graham Connah also examines the evidence of earliest contact between Europeans and Aboriginal people.
Book Synopsis Archaeological Perspectives on Conflict and Warfare in Australia and the Pacific by : Geoffrey Clark
Download or read book Archaeological Perspectives on Conflict and Warfare in Australia and the Pacific written by Geoffrey Clark and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When James Boswell famously lamented the irrationality of war in 1777, he noted the universality of conflict across history and across space – even reaching what he described as the gentle and benign southern ocean nations. This volume discusses archaeological evidence of conflict from those southern oceans, from Palau and Guam, to Australia, Vanuatu and Tonga, the Marquesas, Easter Island and New Zealand. The evidence for conflict and warfare encompasses defensive earthworks on Palau, fortifications on Tonga, and intricate pa sites in New Zealand. It reports evidence of reciprocal sacrifice to appease deities in several island nations, and skirmishes and smaller scale conflicts, including in Easter Island. This volume traces aspects of colonial-era conflict in Australia and frontier battles in Vanuatu, and discusses depictions of World War II materiel in the rock art of Arnhem Land. Among the causes and motives discussed in these papers are pressure on resources, the ebb and flow of significant climate events, and the significant association of conflict with culture contact. The volume, necessarily selective, eclectic and wide-ranging, includes an incisive introduction that situates the evidence persuasively in the broader scholarship addressing the history of human warfare.

Book Synopsis Connection and Disconnection by : Tony Austin
Download or read book Connection and Disconnection written by Tony Austin and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connection and Disconnection brings together twelve historians with an interest in encounters between Indigenous people and settlers in the Northern Territory. More than just a narrative of conflict and dispossession, the volume is concerned to reconceptualise the present through the past, rather than just understand the past itself. Chapters deal with a range of encounters which bring new light to bear on the relationships between people on the northern frontier ? some of them positive. The volume includes new interpretations of sites of dispossession and war, together with accounts of the sometimes successful struggle by settlers to develop an understanding of Aboriginal people and cultures; well-meaning but frequently misguided attempts to provide for the welfare of Aboriginal people; and usually unsuccessful efforts by authorities to divest the people of their Aboriginality. The book will be of interest to all readers seeking to understand the circumstances that have made reconciliation such a key issue in our national identity as we approach the new millennium.

Book Synopsis My Country, Mine Country by : Benedict Scambary
Download or read book My Country, Mine Country written by Benedict Scambary and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agreements between the mining industry and Indigenous people are not creating sustainable economic futures for Indigenous people, and this demands consideration of alternate forms of economic engagement in order to realise such futures. Within the context of three mining agreements in north Australia this study considers Indigenous livelihood aspirations and their intersection with sustainable development agendas. The three agreements are the Yandi Land Use Agreement in the Central Pilbara in Western Australia, the Ranger Uranium Mine Agreement in the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory, and the Gulf Communities Agreement in relation to the Century zinc mine in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland. Recent shifts in Indigenous policy in Australia seek to de-emphasise the cultural behaviour or imperatives of Indigenous people in undertaking economic action, in favour of a mainstream conventional approach to economic development. Concepts of value, identity, and community are key elements in the tension between culture and economics that exists in the Indigenous policy environment. Whilst significant diversity exists within the Indigenous polity, Indigenous aspirations for the future typically emphasise a desire for alternate forms of economic engagement that combine elements of the mainstream economy with the maintenance and enhancement of Indigenous institutions and livelihood activities. Such aspirations reflect ongoing and dynamic responses to modernity, and typically concern the interrelated issues of access to and management of country, the maintenance of Indigenous institutions associated with family and kin, access to resources such as cash and vehicles, the establishment of robust representative organisations, and are integrally linked to the derivation of both symbolic and economic value of livelihood pursuits.

Book Synopsis Macassan History and Heritage by : Marshall Clark
Download or read book Macassan History and Heritage written by Marshall Clark and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents inter-disciplinary perspectives on the maritime journeys of the Macassan trepangers who sailed in fleets of wooden sailing vessels known as praus from the port city of Makassar in southern Sulawesi to the northern Australian coastline. These voyages date back to at least the 1700s and there is new evidence to suggest that the Macassan praus were visiting northern Australia even earlier. This book examines the Macassan journeys to and from Australia, their encounters with Indigenous communities in the north, as well as the ongoing social and cultural impact of these connections, both in Indonesia and Australia.
