Ochre And Rust - Artefacts And Encounters On Australian Frontiers
By Philip Jones
Published by Wakefield Press: SA 2008

" Ochre and Rust: Artefacts and Encounters on Australian Frontiers is a book by Philip Jones that explores Australia's history through the lens of significant artefacts. It delves into encounters between Indigenous Australians and European settlers, using objects as focal points to reveal stories of cultural exchange, conflict, adaptation, and survival.

Jones, an anthropologist and historian, examines items such as Aboriginal tools, weapons, artworks, and European trade goods, analyzing their historical contexts and the meanings they carried for different groups. The book provides insight into frontier interactions, the impact of colonization, and the ways material culture shaped relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It won the 2008 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Non-Fiction and is praised for its rich storytelling and unique approach to Australian history. "
