ABSTRACT

In September 2002 the Alexandrina Council unearthed the remains of two "old people" in the area of the contested land near Hindmarsh Island (Kumarangk), in the Goolwa Wharf precinct. This "discovery," as Grant Rigney and Lawrie Agius point out, served to reinforce their belief that archaeologists and governments should cease to think in terms of "archaeological sites" and instead should recognise the interconnectedness of sites and therefore view "country" as an interconnected cultural landscape that cannot be segmented.
