Abstract

Existing models of hunter-gatherer territorial and political organisation are reviewed. It is suggested how these models may be refined in order to take full account of Australian Aboriginal cultures, and remove them from the anomalous position they occupy in Woodburn's typology of immediate and delayed return. It is argued that distinct types of political structure are directly related to patterns of territoriality, and that these cannot be reduced to a simple expression of ecological conditions. The issues raised are linked with strucuralist and marxist approaches to the explanation of hunter-gatherer social behaviour and it is argued that neither provides, on its own, a comprehensive explanation. The article relies in part on the author's fieldwork in north and central Australia.
