This book contains just about everything you might need to know if off to do archaeological work in Oz. It kicks off with a brief history of archaeology in Australia, then looks at Aborignal culture, trade and economics and the differences between western and aborignal knowledge structures. There are also introductions to the main types of Australian sites including maritime archaeology and much more practical information - how to get a job and funding, how to negotiate Australian legislation, and the all important lingo, e.g. "Score a slab of heavies mate" = "Let's spend the evening drinking non-lite beer at your expense"!
