Archaeology Of Oceania : Australia And The Pacific Islands, Hardcover by Lilley, Ian (EDT), ISBN 0631230823, ISBN-13 9780631230823, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The series looks in turn at geographical areas of interest in undergraduate archeology studies. Archaeologists either from the region or who have worked there examine not the findings of archaeology, but the practice of the profession in Oceania, focusing on pre-European contact and prehistoric topics. Among the underlying themes are colonization, interaction, cultural diversification, environmental change, and contemporary politics. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
