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\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrafting Country\u003c\/i\u003e 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848853967084,"sku":"9781743326169","price":87.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19163373482808.jpg?v=1759001005","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/crafting-country-by-caroline-bird-9781743326169","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
