Critics Review
‘Animal Bones in Australian Archaeology is a welcome contribution to Australian zooarchaeology … Fillios and Blake have created a clear and concise Australian faunal reference guide, ideal not only for students, heritage consultants and non‐specialists who only require a simple guide, but also for more experienced faunal analysts, who may find it a useful companion to their reference collections. This handbook can – and should – become a standard tool in the arsenal of all archaeologists working on Australian sites.’
