65,000 years ago, modern humans arrived in Australia, having
navigated more than 100 km of sea crossing from southeast Asia.
Since then, the large continental islands of Australia and New
Guinea, together with smaller islands in between, have been
connected by land bridges and severed again as sea levels fell and
rose. Along with these fluctuations came changes in the terrestrial
and marine environments of both land masses. The Oxford Handbook of
the Archaeology of Indigenous Australia and New Guinea reviews and
assembles the latest findings and ideas on the archaeology of the
Australia-New Guinea region, the world's largest island-continent.
In 42 new chapters written by 77 contributors, it presents and
explores the archaeological evidence to weave stories of
colonisation; megafaunal extinctions; Indigenous architecture;
long-distance interactions, sometimes across the seas; eel-based
aquaculture and the development of techniques for the mass-trapping
of fish; occupation of the High Country, deserts, tropical
swamplands and other, diverse land and waterscapes; and rock art
and symbolic behaviour. Together with established researchers, a
new generation of archaeologists present in this Handbook one,
authoritative text where Australia-New Guinea archaeology now lies
and where it is heading, promising to shape future directions for
years to come.
