A Record in Bone: Exploring Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Bone and Tooth Objects is a landmark 2023 archaeological text written by Associate Professor Michelle C. Langley. Published by Aboriginal Studies Press, it is the first comprehensive volume to synthesise over a century of fragmented research regarding Australia's 46,000-year-old osseous (bone and tooth) technologies. The book serves as an essential companion to Holdaway and Stern's foundational 2004 text, A Record in Stone. Key Archaeological Themes Ancient Technology: Proves First Nations peoples engineered bone, tooth, quill, and claw materials for at least 46,000 years, representing some of the world's oldest organic technologies. Alternative to Stone: Challenges the long-held archaeological bias that stone was the primary medium for toolmaking in ancient Australia. Diverse Material Industries: Details complex manufacturing traditions including bone points, multi-pronged fishhooks, regional ornaments, and items stained with ochre. Cultural Innovation: Illustrates how individual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities developed distinct regional methodologies based on local fauna and environmental conditions.

Quarto, leather bound, slipcase,188 pp.,colour illustrations. William Blandowski was an explorer, natural scientist and artist who led a Victorian government expedition to the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers from 1856 to 1857. Australia is the first publication in English of his nineteenth-century illustrated encyclopaedia of Aboriginal life, Australien in 142 photographischen Abbildungen nach zehnjarigen Erfahrungen. In Australia, Blandowski explores the potential of images to portray the lives of people engaged in everyday activities, as well as dramatic conflicts and rituals.

By reading Australia, we become on-the-spot participants in moments of 'first contact'. Also available in paperback [stock id 32196].…
