Others shift focus from process to the archaeology of maritime places from the Bering to the Torres Straits, providing highly detailed discussions of how living by and with the sea is woven into all elements of human life from subsistence to trade and to ritual. Of equal importance are more abstract discussions of islands as natural places refashioned by human occupation, either through the introduction of new organisms or new systems of production and consumption. These transformation stories gain further texture (and variety) through close examinations of some of the more significant consequences of colonisation and migration, particularly the creation of new cultural identities. A final set of papers explores the ways in which the techniques of archaeological sciences have provided insights into the fauna of the islands and the human history of such places.Terra Australis ;29.Coastal archaeologyCoastal settlementsHistoryIsland archaeologyUnderwater archaeologyCoastal archaeology.Coastal settlementsHistory.Island archaeology.Underwater archaeology.930.109146Clark GeoffreyLeach FossO'Connor SueMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK996217061503316Islands of inquiry1927814UNISA
