Human-Environment Interaction in Colonial Queensland: Establishment, Use and Abandonment of the Port of St Lawrence and Implications for the Archaeological Record (2015)

Historical, material and spatial evidence from distinct but interconnected archaeological sites within the settlement are integrated to explore...
