Peopled landscapes : archaeological and biogeographic approaches to landscapes
This impressive collection celebrates the work of Peter Kershaw, a key figure in the field of Australian palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Over almost half a century his research helped reconceptualize ecology in Australia. Papers presented here continue to explore the dynamism of landscape change...
