| Summary: | At least 65,000 years ago, modern humans arrived in Australia, having navigated more than 100km of sea crossing from Southeast Asia. Since then, the large continental islands of Australia and New Guinea, together with smaller islands in between, have been connected by land bridges and severed again as sea levels fell and rose.

This handbook reviews and assembles the latest findings and ideas on the archaeology of the Australia - New Guinea region |
