Over the last few decades, a wealth of new environmental and archaeological data about this fascinating region has become available. Drawing on a wide range of sources, The Archaeology of Australia's Deserts explores the late Pleistocene settlement of Australia's deserts, the formation of distinctive desert societies, and the origins and development of the hunter-gatherer societies documented in the classic nineteenth-century ethnographies of Spencer and Gillen. Written by one of Australia's leading desert archaeologists, the book interweaves a lively history of research with archaeological data in a masterly survey of the field and a profoundly interdisciplinary study that forces archaeology into conversations with history and anthropology, economy and ecology, and geography and Earth sciences. 410 0$aCambridge world archaeology. 606 $aDeserts$zAustralia 606 $aEnvironmental archaeology$zAustralia 606 $aArchaeology$zAustralia 606 $aHuman ecology$zAustralia 615 0$aDeserts 615 0$aEnvironmental archaeology 615 0$aArchaeology 615 0$aHuman ecology 676 $a994.01 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Mike$f1955-$01472528 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779464003321 996 $aThe archaeology of Australia's deserts$93685356 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04430nam 22008175 450 001 9910484346203321 005 20251226203029.0 010 $a3-540-34074-2 024 7 $a10.1007/11751588 035 $a(CKB)1000000000232964 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000316837 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11274451 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000316837 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10292674 035 $a(PQKB)10511165 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-540-34074-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3068164 035 $a(PPN)123134528 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000232964 100 $a20100505d2006 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aComputational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2006 $eInternational Conference, Glasgow, UK, May 8-11, 2006, Proceedings, Part II /$fedited by Osvaldo Gervasi, Vipin Kumar, C.J.

It represents the outstanding collection of almost 664 refereed papers selected from over 2,450 submissions to ICCSA 2006. Computational science has ?rmly established itself as a vital part of many scienti?c investigations, a?ecting researchers and practitioners in areas ranging from applications such as aerospace and automotive, to emerging technologies such as bioinformatics and nanotechnologies, to core disciplines such as ma- ematics, physics, and chemistry. Due to the shear size of many challenges in computational science, the use of supercomputing, parallel processing, and - phisticated algorithms is inevitable and becomes a part of fundamental theore- cal research as well as endeavors in emerging ?elds. Together, these far-reaching scienti?c areas contributed to shaping this conference in the realms of state-- the-art computational science researchand applications, encompassing the fac- itating theoretical foundations and the innovative applications of such results in other areas. 410 0$aTheoretical Computer Science and General Issues,$x2512-2029 ;$v3981 606 $aComputer science 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aImage processing$xDigital techniques 606 $aComputer vision 606 $aTheory of Computation 606 $aSoftware Engineering 606 $aNumerical Analysis 606 $aComputer Communication Networks 606 $aComputer Modelling 606 $aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aImage processing$xDigital techniques. 615 0$aComputer vision. 615 14$aTheory of Computation. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 615 24$aComputer Communication Networks. 615 24$aComputer Modelling. 615 24$aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics. 676 $a004 701 $aGavrilova$b Marina L$01242240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484346203321 996 $aComputational science and its applications - ICCSA 2006$94188455 997 $aUNINA
