Heavy (1.1 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 480 pp. Revised edition. A survey of the 40,000 years of Australia's human prehistory covering 60 years of archaeological research, including the controversy over the timing of first arrivals, extinction of megafauna and the diversity of Australia's rock art. This very special book explains why Aboriginal Australia is recognised today for its significance in global prehistory and why so many archaeological places have become World Heritage listed. Brings together the discoveries and often controversial interpretations of six decades of archaeological research. Reveals that across this island continent, with its contrasting environments and changing climates, human responses produced many Indigenous cultures and lifestyles. (Originally published by John Mulvaney, 1969, and here revised by Johan Kamminga.).

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Very Good. Australia's human prehistory through more than 40,000 years is the challenging theme of this masterly survey. John Mulvaney and Johan Kamminga bring together the discoveries and often controversial interpretations of six decades of archaeological research to reveal that across this island continent, in the face of contrasting environments and changing climates, human responses produced many cultures, languages and life styles. The Old World is usually credited with the origins of art and spirituality. Recent discoveries, however, prove that symbolic rock art and complex burial rites also existed in Australia at challengingly early times. The authors evaluate the dating evidence upon which Australia's human story before 1788 is reconstructed. They review diverse topics, such as the controversy about the time people first arrived on the continent's northern coast, the extinction of marsupial megafauna and the diversity of Aboriginal rock art. Prehistory of Australia explains why Aboriginal Australia is recognised today for its significance in global prehistory and why so many of its archaeological places have merited World Heritage listing.
