Description:	The site-specific material evidence we discuss in this book is contextualised within wider themes and debates. Engagement with a range of contemporary discussions within Australian society and the international discipline of historical archaeology gives meaning to individual sites and case studies. The material presented is inherently part of the global processes of colonisation and the creation of settler societies, the industrial revolution, the development of mass consumer culture and the emergence of national identities. Archaeology is most relevant to modern society when it provides different perspectives on these themes. Our starting point, however, is the material evidence rather than historical narratives, and some issues of great concern to historians play a smaller role in this book because they have not yet been the focus of archaeological inquiry
