This volume offers a state-of-the-art survey of linguistic, anthropological, archaeological and historical work focused on Cape York Peninsula and the Gulf Country, in Australia’s northeast. The volume also honours Bruce Rigsby, emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Queensland, whose work has inspired all of the contributors. The papers in the volume are organized in terms of five key themes, including the use of historical and archaeological methods to reconstruct aspects of language and social organization, anthropological and linguistic work uncovering aspects of world view embedded in languages and ethnographic data sets, the study of post-contact transformations in language and society, and the return of archival data to communities. Its thematic intersections draw together the varied disciplinary threads in an overview of the cultures and languages of the region, and will appeal to all those interested in Australian Aboriginal studies, linguistics, anthropology and associated disciplines.

Quinkan Country refers to the lands around the small township of Laura in southeast Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia. The area was added to the National Heritage List in recognition of its spectacular rock art, as featured in this book. This book shares Aboriginal traditional knowledge about the rock art and cultural heritage of Quinkan Country with readers, with proceeds going to help the Laura Rangers care for Quinkan Country.
