The analysis of about 1000 sites, including surface artefact scatters and 19 excavated rock shelters, as well as thousands of isolated artefacts, takes a broad view of the landscape, examining the distribution of archaeological remains in time and space. Heritage compliance archaeology commonly focuses on individual sites, but this study reconsiders the evidence at different scales - at the level of artefact, site, locality, and region  to show how Aboriginal people interacted with the land and made their mark on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafting Country shows that the Nyiyaparli 'crafted' their country, building structures and supplying key sites with grindstones, raw material and flaked stone cores. In so doing, they created a taskscape of interwoven activities linked by paths of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924808515742,"sku":"ING-9781743326169","price":45.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781743326169.jpg?v=1782953386","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781743326169","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
