This insightful and illuminating memoir traces Mulvaney's life from childhood in rural Victoria and his academic training, to his revelatory excavations in central and northern Queensland and his securing of Australia's first World Heritage listings, all the while providing personal details of his struggles to have his work recognised, and stories of the inspirational people he met.ArchaeologistsAustraliaBiographyHistoriansAustraliaBiographyElectronic books.ArchaeologistsHistorians930.1092Mulvaney Derek John1050258MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453644703321Digging up a past2479908UNINA
