Mail*Link(r) SMTP Dammed Yankee's and Insufferable Poms
Of course in post-colonial Australia we take a different view on the whole
matter of Poms vrs Yanks.
I might point to those interested to the work of Hodder (on bow ties) and
Tilley and Shanks (beer cans) surely this is historical archaeology of a most
respectable kind.
What about industrial archaeology, a sub-division of historical archaeology
surely the Poms are well advanced in this area even if they dismiss the
Victorian levels of their domestic sites.
In Australia things like 10,000 year old trading route are a modern day
political issue with the emergance of the debate over Aboriginal land rights
and native title.
