DESCRIPTION

This unit will begin with an overview of prehistory and archaeology in a global context, before focusing on the Aboriginal presence in Australia and internal developments until the late eighteenth century. Megafaunal extinctions, land management practices (including the impact of firestick farming.) and unique cultural initiatives are among the many exciting debates which will be investigated in considerable depth. The unit will also consider the emergence of distinct regional cultures, including Tasmania, early external contacts, and the impact of disease, particularly the controversial smallpox epidemic of 1789.
