Of interest to Aboriginal Community groups, archaeologists and anyone with an interest in Australian history and anthropology, this collection tells the stories of sixteen projects from a diverse range of sites. It illustrates the superior outcomes that can be acheived when archaeologists and Aborigines work closely together.
The book retells the stories in an easy to read style, supported by editorial introductions, photographs in colour and black and white, and maps. Greater understanding of the stories is provided by Robyne Bancroft's interviews with Aboriginal participants at the conference about their reactions to the projects and posters.
