- Authors
GREENWAY, JOHN
- Abstract
The article presents an overview of archaeology in Australia as of 1962. It is said that the entire country has only one professional archaeologist: Norman B. Tindale of Adelaide, South Australia. Tindale's pioneering contributions are discussed, such as his categorization of Aboriginal stone implements like tula adzes and pirri blades. Anthropometric information on the four main sub-groups of Aboriginal Australians is provided and theories about their population of the Australian continent are discussed. Some fossilized human skulls are described, including the Talgai skull, the Keilor skull and the Cohuna skull.
