Attention has been placed on the construction of models of subsistence and settlement.Item Recent Developments in Victorian Prehistory(Australian Archaeological Association, 1976-04) Orchiston, D WayneA Conference on 'Aboriginal Man and Environment in Southeastern Victoria: Recent Developments in Victorian Prehistory was held at the University of Melbourne on 27-29 November, 1975.
