Editorial Review

Product Description
This research was aimed at understanding why Australian Aborigines apparently have no interest in the archaeological evidence for their prehistory even when it supports their own mythological origins, or could help to encourage social cohesion. The study including interviews and research into stone tool construction and this fieldwork was used to examine the relationships between archaeology and Aboriginal culture. ... Read more

49. Lithics in the Land of the Lightning Brothers: The Archaeology of Wardaman Country, Northern Territory (Terra Australis, 25)
by Chris Clarkson
Paperback: 221 Pages (2007)

Isbn: 1921313285
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
Lithics in the Land of the Lightning Brothers skilfully integrates a wide range of data-raw-material procurement, tool design, reduction and curation, patterns of distribution and association-to reveal the major outlines of Wardaman prehistory. At the same time, the book firmly situates data and methods in broad theoretical context. In its regional scope and thorough technological approach, this book exemplifies the best of recent lithic analysis and hunter-gatherer archaeology.Any archaeologist who confronts the challenge of classifying retouched stone tools should consult this volume for a clear demonstration of reduction intensity as a source of size and form variation independent of "type." Yet the demonstration is not merely methodological; Clarkson shows how the measurement of reduction intensity informs analysis of technological diversity and other cultural practices.In Clarkson's hands, Wardaman prehistory emerges as a particular record of the human past. Yet the book is also a case study in prolonged cultural response to environmental conditions and the way in which cultures persist and reproduce themselves over long spans of time. The result is an analytical tour de force that will guide hunter-gatherer archaeology in Australia and elsewhere for years to come. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This original ethnography brings indigenous people's stories into conversations around troubling questions of social justice and environmental care. Deborah Bird Rose lived for two years with the Yarralin community in the Northern Territory's remote Victoria River Valley. Her engagement with the people's stories and their action in the world leads her to this analysis of a multi-centred poetics of life and land. The book speaks to issues that are of immediate and broad concern today: traditional ecological knowledge, kinship between humans and other living things, colonising history, environmental history, and sacred geography. Now in paperback, this award-winning exploration of the Yarralin people is available to a whole new readership. The boldly direct and personal approach will be illuminating and accessible to general readers, while also of great value to experienced anthropologists. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Best of breed
There are very few writers who have been able to respectfully penetratethe aboriginal culture and still preserve what is sacred. Rose's bookimmerses the reader into another reality, and she does so withoutsuperficial glorification or gratuitous pandering. Much better known inAustralia than in the US (where the number of the books available aboutaboriginals is limited), this book is the best I've found. I recommend itto the reader who wants to get past the tour guide/New Age fare and into amuch more authentic point of view. ... Read more

Using data collected from all parts of the continent, this book is a study of the health of Australia's original inhabitants over 50,000 years. It represents the first continental survey of its kind and is the first to quantify and describe important aspects of Australian hunter-gatherer health. Major categories of disease described are: stress, osteoarthritis, fractures, congenital deformations, neoplasms and non-specific and treponemal infections. The author also describes some surgical techniques used by Aboriginal people. A broad-ranging book offering fresh insight into the study of Australian prehistory and Aboriginal culture, the book also illuminates the origins and ecology of human disease. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Many of the elements ascribed to traditional Aboriginal beliefs and practices are the result of contact with external peoples--Melanesians and Indonesians, as well as Europeans.This controversial and provocative book is the first detailed and continent-wide study of the impact of outsiders on Australian Aboriginal worldviews.The author separates out a common core of religious belief that1111 precontact spirituality of Australian Aborigines more concerned with place than with any philosophy of time or origins.A Place for Strangers investigates Aboriginal myth, ritual, cosmology and philosophy, and also examines social organization, subsistence patterns and cultural change. It will be of great interest to readers in anthropology, religious studies, comparative philosophy, Aboriginal studies and Australian history. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
The title Bringing to Light has two meanings. First, this book is an act of bringing to light a history that was gradually becoming mythologized, in part because the ethnographic films of the past are now rarely seen. Secondly, much of the filmmaking discussed in this book was motivated by a desire to bring to the light of film the socio-cultural life of Australia's Indigenous peoples. ... Read more
