Abstract

Prehistoric archaeology has done little to debunk the idea of the timeless/traditional Aborigine because the virtual merging of the discourses of archaeology and heritage locked Australian archaeology into a form of essentialism. Various means were being used to decrease the visibility of living Aboriginal people in the landscape and various other means were being employed to enhance the visibility of the archaeological remains that were replacing them there.
