Abstract

The relationship between people and their environments in Australia has a deep history probably dating back well beyond 40,000 years ago. Here we explore the evidence for change in dynamics of land use in one region of northern Australia, SE Cape York Peninsula, and argue that systemic changes in cultural practices took place during the mid to late Holocene. It is further argued that the broad scope of these changes imply alterations in the signification and cultural construction of people’s effective environments, their cultural landscapes.
