Reviews for The Shore Whalers of Western Australia: Historical Archaeology of a Maritime Frontier

The artefacts and physical evidence located by Gibbs's excavations provide a fascinating picture of life in these little-documented settlements. An appendix includes information on 20 other sites along the West Australian coast, and the book is generously illustrated with photographs, sketches and tables. -- Anne-Maree Whitaker * Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society *
