Summary

"The Archaeology of Difference presents a new perspective on the archaeology of cross-cultural contact and engagement in the recent historical past. Using case studies from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Micronesia, the contributors all share a concern with tracking the processes of contact between indigenous peoples and outsiders, primarily Europeans, across the varied physical and cultural landscapes of the region. Rock art sites, museum collections, surface sites, stratified shell middens and rock shelters as well as mission sites are used to examine the processes of interaction and negotiation between indigenous people and outsiders."--Jacket.
