Darwin Archaeology: Aboriginal, Asian and European Heritage of Australia's Top End

This volume represents the first compilation of archaeological research for the Darwin region. The collection of papers in this volume focuses archaeological attention on a single region from a variety of perspectives, over a time period from 4000 years ago to the Second World War. Some papers expand upon former research on subsistence and settlement of past millennia, while others are groundbreaking in their treatment of the material remains of the very recent past. The aim is to make the results of this research accessible to the general public, as well as to archaeologists and historians.Forword -- Acknowledgements -- 1 Introduction: Physical and cultural transformations of the Darwin Region / Clayton Fredericksen, Sally Brockwell and Patricia Bourke -- 2 Settlement patterns on the lower Adelaide River in the Mid to Late Holocene / Sally Brockwell -- 3 Coastal cowboys: The development of speculative models of molluscan midden matter in the Darwin Region / Peter Hiscock -- 4 Archaeology of shell mounds of the Darwin coast: Totems of an ancestral landscape / Patricia Bourke -- 5 A poor man's show: Historic archaeology of the Bynoe Harbour Chinese community / Scott Mitchell -- 6 Single-Men's Quarters at Fannie Bay Gaol: An archaeology of hard drinking and mateship? / Clayton Fredericksen -- 7 An historic shipwreck in the wilderness: The aesthetic value of the Brisbane wreck site / David Steinberg -- 8 Archaeological investigations of the World War Two Catalina Flying Boat wreck sites in East Arm, Darwin Harbour: An appraisal of results / Silvano Jung -- 9 The Battle of North Australia: The archaeology of a World War Two airfield / Colin De La RueJira Ticket : CDU-30 : Collection Development Manager made the decision that for the books that have this message " This book is copyright.
