Subsistence and settlement patterns of this period are revealed through archaeological investigation of shell mounds, which dominate the study area and have long been a topic of scholarly interest both internationally and in Australia. Addressed are cultural, environmental and taphonomic aspects of mound formation and the implications of inter and intra-midden variability for interpretations of chronological change in hunter-gatherer economic systems, particularly with regard to theories of Holocene intensification in the Australian literature. In this work, therefore, the author explores the question of why people built mounds of shell and why they then stopped this practice that had continued for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Mary Bourke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407309234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407309231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 8.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Patricia Mary Bourke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088166793471,"sku":"9781407309231","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cafdb6c-c66d-49e5-8167-3ecd9865cc9a.jpg?v=1769103427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-holocene-indigenous-economies-of-patricia-mary-bourke-9781407309231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
