The material world of European settlement in Australia over the last 200 years has been uncovered not only by historians but also by the work of archaeologists. Their enquiries have revealed new and direct pictures of the public and private lives of Australia's people, at home and at work. This book presents the knowledge recently gained from such investigations and makes it available for the first time to a wider audience. (book flap)
