Prestige and Predation: Dugong Hunters of the Torres Strait, Australia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shelly Tiley.

This is an abstract from the "Supernatural Gamekeepers and Animal Masters: A Cross-Cultural Perspective" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Large animals are particularly prone to human overexploitation for both biological and cultural reasons. Relatively rare and slow to reproduce, these populations are naturally sensitive to predation. For the hunters, evolutionary and cultural forces conspire to make these animals highly desired. This paper...

The Process of Interpretation: The Antiquity of the Namurlanjanyngku and Post-Contact History in Yanyuwa Country, Northern Australia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Liam Brady. John Bradley. Karen Steelman. Amanda Kearney.

This is an abstract from the "Technique and Interpretation in the Archaeology of Rock Art" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The search for meaning in rock art has been the focus of scholarly attention and debate for decades. A common feature that unites many of these studies is what the enquiry produces – for example, what a motif represents. However, studies focussing on the processes by which meaning is generated are, comparatively speaking, fewer...

Recent Archaeological Work at Batavia's 1629 Graveyard, Western Australia (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alistair G Paterson. Wendy Van Duivenvoorde. Souter Corioli. Green Jeremy.

The archaeological sites related to the wreck of the 1629 VOC Batavia and subsequent mutiny have been studied since the 1960s. As part of the 'Shipwrecks of the Roaring 40s' Australian Research Council project, new discoveries have been made at several Batavia sites, particularly of victims on Beacon Island and the first European execution site on Long Island. These and other innovations help illuminate one of Australia's grimmest moments in history.

Referencing the Relational in ‘Saltwater’ Rock Art, Northern Australia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Liam Brady. Sally May. Joakim Goldhahn.

Over the last decade, a major challenge for archaeologists has focused on understanding the relationship between people, things and the sea. As part of this effort archaeologists have increasingly focused their attention towards rock art as a symbolic means to referencing a maritime identity. At one level, identifying this connection can be relatively straightforward via marine-themed imagery (e.g. watercraft, marine animals) but what else can we draw upon to understand the nature and depth of...

In 1984, Harold Dibble published his iconic scraper reduction paper. This publication, and the many that followed, played a significant role in realigning the discipline from one that retained a focus on artifact typology as the foundation for both culture historical and functional...

Risky Business? Prey Choice in Pleistocene and Holocene Northern Australia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tiina Manne.

This is an abstract from the "Do Good Things Come in Small Packages? Human Behavioral Ecology and Small Game Exploitation" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although archaeofaunal assemblages from northern Australia are limited, records indicate an early adoption of "broad-spectrum" diets. Inland, key prey items consist of small- to medium-sized mammals and reptiles, with large kangaroos being exploited less frequently. On the coast, shellfish, fish...

Routes Of Removal: Vessel Biographies And The Island Transfer Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Queensland, Australia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeline E Fowler.

Removal—the forcible movement of a person to a church or state-run institution, brought about or sanctioned by the state (often through the use of race-based legislation)—affected every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in the state of Queensland in the 19th and 20th century. With many missions, stations and reserves located on islands, the watercraft engaged in removals are often implicit in the historical archives. Targeted research of these vessels including use and function;...
