Peopled Landscapes (Terra Australis 34) 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, creating a detailed understanding of environmental change in the Late Plei...
