This unit focuses on the central questions asked in Australian archaeology. We prioritise topics such as community-based archaeology, decolonisation and how the past informs contemporary issues, providing requisite knowledge for working in the archaeological sector in Australia. Following the stratigraphic sequence of an archaeological excavation, this subject moves from the present through British invasion and into the deep past to reveal the layers of extraordinary capacity, diversity and complexity of Australia's First Peoples.
