Index

'The book proves a valuable resource for examining the life of Aboriginal peoples before and after British colonisation, examining in its pages the archaeological evidence of differing economies, settlement and cultural patterns at various points in time and in differing landscapes.'
Jack Norris   Agora: History Teachers' Association of Victoria

'Frankel has provided a compendium of information about Aboriginal sites from seven geographical regions that lie between the Murray River and the sea – from the coast to the high country; from the semi-arid Mallee to the well-watered Koorong; from the Central Murray to Budj Bim – compiled into a very readable overview of archaeological data.'
