Valleys of Stone: The Archaeology and History of Adelaide's Hills Face

Valleys of Stone: The Archaeology and History of Adelaide's Hills Face

Robert Martin
0/5 ( ratings)
In this exciting new book the history and archaeology of colonial South Australia are brought together for the first time.

The result is a fascinating rendering of events dating from the earliest days of the colony set within a landscape now described as one of the best preserved historic landscapes representing an era of eighteenth and nineteenth century European global expansion and colonisation to be found anywhere.

Set among the hills and valleys of Adelaide’s hills face, the chapters contain descriptions of historical events and places, together with archaeological interpretations of their contemporary footprint and heritage significance. The authors are dedicated to their subject, often providing personal insights onto historical events and places. Each chapter is illustrated with historic photographs, paintings, sketches and maps from the nineteenth century – may of which are being published for the first time.

This book is also a companion volume to the Adelaide’s Hills Face Heritage GIS Database.
