Abstract
This book has focused on the archaeology of Australia’s colonial past, an emphasis which reflects a number of developments in the history of the discipline in this country. The first practitioners of historical archaeology in the 1960s and 1970s were literally breaking new ground. One of their concerns was to establish the legitimacy of an archaeology of European settlement, at a time when most archaeology in Australia focused on the ancient Near East and Mediterranean worlds, or on deep time and the first arrival of Australia’s original inhabitants and their adaptations to different regions and environments. This resulted, in part, in the investigation of places of early European arrival, including seventeenth-century Dutch shipwrecks, first settlements along the coast (both failed and successful) and the archaeology of convictism.
