description: The material world of European settlement in Australia has been uncovered not only by historians but by archaeologists as well. These archaeological enquiries have revealed new and direct pictures of the public and private lives of Australians at home and at work. This book presents many of the findings of Australian historical archaeology. It discusses the first European towns, the archaeology of convicts and archaeological evidence of the agricultural, maritime, industrial and manufacturing activities of early Australia. This book was published originally in hardback with the title Of the Hut I The Archaeology of Australia's History.
