As a contrast to these I have chosen to examine the human ecology of Aboriginal societies that existed in the well-watered regions of south-eastern Australia. The study area chosen was the Western District of south-western Victoria. The research design includes the examination of two bodies of data, ethnographic and archaeological, viewed in relation to the region's ecology. 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.
