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. 606 $aArchaeologists$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aHistorians$zAustralia$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArchaeologists 615 0$aHistorians 676 $a930.1092 700 $aMulvaney$b Derek John$01050258 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453644703321 996 $aDigging up a past$92479908 997 $aUNINA
