6 This is the first overview of Australian Aboriginal archaeology that has been written by someone outside the field, which makes it an explicitly cross-disciplinary endeavour. There has been a range of bigger-picture studies on the history of Aboriginal archaeology, such as David Hortonās edited collection of documents, Tim Murrayās work on the changing philosophies and methodologies in archaeology and Stephanie Moserās research on the fieldās disciplinary culture. More recently, Sarah Colley, Hilary Du Cros and Laurajane Smith have explored the practice, politics and ethics of Australian archaeology, teasing out the questions and ideas that have arisen from heritage debates and the struggles of Indigenous peoples for ownership and control of their land, cultural materials and ancestral remains. See, for example, David Horton, Recovering the Tracks: The Story of Australian Archaeology (Canberra: Aboriginal Studies Press, 1991); Tim Murray (ed.), Archaeology from Australia (Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing, 2004); Stephanie Moser, āThe Aboriginalisation of Archaeology: The Contribution of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies to the Indigenous Transformation of the Disciplineā, in Peter J Ucko (ed.), Theory in Archaeology: A World Perspective (London: Routledge, 1995), 150ā177; Sarah Colley, Uncovering Australia: Archaeology, Indigenous People and the Public (Crows Nest, NSW: Allen & Unwin, 2002); Hilary du Cros, Much More Than Stones and Bones: Australian Archaeology in the Late Twentieth Century (Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 2002) and Laurajane Smith, The Uses of Heritage (London: Routledge, 2006).
