From ethnographic and archaeological evidence the unique exploitation of the Bogong moth is reconstructed, and the pattern of seasonal transhumance which it engendered. The importance of moths is assessed in the subsistence economy of the region, and an analysis made of prehistoric food resources. Ethnographic evidence on prehistoric population, material culture, trade, inter-tribal relations, customs and language is also examined, and a series of hypotheses set up to be tested by archaeological fieldwork. Settlement patterns are investigated by a locational analysis of camp-sites, and artifactual variation is explained in terms of the function, location, culture and chronology of sites. Then the question of time-depth is examined, and a prehistoric cultural sequence set up for the Canberra-Monaro region from the evidence of excavations in nine small rock-shelters . This sequence spans the last four millenia, but a lower dimension is added to it from Cloggs Cave, a limestone cave at Buchan on the periphery of the mountains. There, human occupation was found extending back into the Glacial Period, and the deposit also contained a rich faunal assemblage, with important environmental implications. Finally, the ethnographic, archaeological and environmental evidence is integrated in an attempt to reconstruct the prehistory and life-style of hunter-gatherers in the Uplands from the Pleistocene to Protohistoric Period.

It is not only reading the lesson book but also reading everything good is the choice of getting new inspirations. Religion, sciences, politics, social, literature, and fictions will enrich you for not only one aspect. Having more aspects to know and understand will lead you become someone more precious. Yea, becoming precious can be situated with the presentation of how your knowledge much.

These first ocean-going mariners had a high level of technological and economic skill, and had spread right across Australia into a wide variety of environments by about 35,000 years ago. Pigment showing clear signs of use occurs in almost all Australia's oldest known occupation sites, and evidence of selfawareness such as necklaces and beads has been found in several Pleistocene rock shelters. Rituals were carried out in connection with disposal of the dead, for at Lake Mungo there is a 25,000-year-old cremation, and ochre zvas scattered onto the corpse in a 30,000-yearold inhumation. Complex symbolic behaviour is attested at least 40,000 years ago by petroglyphs in the Olary district, and other evidence suggests a similar antiquity for rock paintings. The special focus of this article is cognitive archaeology, the study of past ways of thought as derived from material remains, particularly the development of early Australian artistic systems.
