Abstract

[Extract] Fifty years ago, Australian archaeology was a young discipline operating under a sympathetic Whitlam Government, during a period of significant Aboriginal rights activism and heritage protection (Murray 1998). In August 1974, the World Heritage Convention was ratified and in the following year the Australian Heritage Commission and Register of the National Estate were created, raising the profile of historical and Indigenous heritage across the nation. Increased momentum in Indigenous archaeology propelled it further into public consciousness (Wallis 2020). A number of disciplinary histories have explored this early period in detail (Griffiths 2018; Moser 1995, 2007; Murray 1998; Spriggs 2020) and commentaries have also drawn attention to a number of significant issues including ownership of the past (e.g. Langford 1983), gender and archaeology (e.g. Moser 2007; Smith and Burke 2006; Smith et al. 2023), the impacts of neoliberalism (e.g. Wallis 2020). Several ‘state of the discipline’ overviews have also contributed to this dialogue (e.g. Mate and Ulm 2016, 2021; Ulm et al. 2005, 2013).
