Book Description

This Element addresses a buing question – how can archaeologists best identify and interpret cultural buing, the controlled use of fire by people to shape and curate their physical and social landscapes? This Element describes what cultural buing is and presents current methods by which it can be identified in historical and archaeological records, applying inteationally relevant methods to Australian landscapes. It clarifies how the transdisciplinary study of cultural buing by Quateary scientists, historians, archaeologists and Indigenous community members is informing interpretations of cultural practices, ecological change, land use and the making of place. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
