Deep Time Dreaming: Uncovering Ancient Australia by Billy Griffiths

4.0

An interesting narrative history of Australian Archaeology. My favourite parts were the numerous asides and anecdotes. The biggest failing of the book is its clear desire to strictly separate the Pre-Mulvaney era of Australian Archaeology from what came before. It seems as a way of attempting to exonerate modern archaeology of the sins of its past and perhaps to shrink the narrative down to a more digestible size. I recommend the book but advise caution in taking its claims at face value.
