However of course the archaeology of those well known British colonies;
Australia and New Zealand is alive and flourishing and the locals are
relatively friendly except when it comes to sport.

As for colonialism this has been a thread in the archaeological work (with
special attention to the influence of the Cambridge connection in appointing
archaeologists to Australian Universities) but possibly it has been better
developed in historical writings on Australia. There is also quite an
interesting recent discussion of the ecological effects of colonialism
developed in writings of historians and geographers.

If you are interested I can provide details off list.
