How identity politics erased Australia's archaeological record
Re cultural diffusion: The back and forth between Arnhem land folks and Macassans is another route, and that's not a social taboo afaik.
That’s because the contact starts mid 18th century, so it doesn’t complicate indigenous narrative of deep culture and tech being home grown
I heard it suggested that this maybe started earlier, but either way, it seems like cultural diffusion happens as soon as the laws of physics allow it, so a staunch anti-diffusion stance seems illogical.
Loved this convo, i have a craving for more on this topic. Keep it up fellas.
Thanks!
Not actually that bad, though my late father-in-law Prof. Helmut Loofs-Wissowa would have agreed in part with you.
For balance now do some reporting on all the in archaeology across the country, i.e. research on country.
Why isn’t it that bad?
