Comprehensive, up-to-date understanding of Australian history, told through the eyes of the archaeologists who were instrumental in bringing it to the attention of the rest of the world throughout the mid to late 20th century.

Such an important book for Australians. Part history of archeological research, part analysis of the awkward relationship between indigenous culture and scientific research, and part reverie on how little we whitefellas understand, let alone value, the culture of the oldest living people on earth.
