Abstract
The basic questions in prehistoric archaeology have not changed much over the last forty years. In Australia, we continue to debate when and where Australia and its arid interior were first colonised, and whether or not these early colonisers were responsible for the extinction of the Australian megafauna. These questions are broad and any answers involve interdisciplinary teamwork that crosses conventional academic boundaries - the humanities and sciences.
