The use of fire in Australian Aboriginal society has been well documented and has been pivotal to arguments about human impact on the Australian biota. Continuous and well-dated palaeoecological sequences from the humid rainforests of NE Queensland are beginning to reveal detailed records of vegetation transformation and shifting fire regimes within rainforest environments. The archaeological record is also providing new insights into plant exploitation and adaptation strategies to enable people...

Numerous paleoclimate proxies indicate the Little Ice Age caused marked declines in New Zealand’s atmospheric and sea surface temperatures for much of the period between 1450 C.E. and the end of the nineteenth century. These trends could have keenly affected the productivity of marine fisheries, which have always been critically important to Māori, the indigenous peoples of New Zealand. Considering the close connections that continue to exist between traditional fisheries and Māori economic,...

New Zealand is situated on the southern margins of the Polynesian triangle in the Pacific Ocean. Its temperate climate and environment differs greatly from the tropical central East Polynesian islands, from where its first human colonists originated. Although possessing plentiful bird life, sea mammals and other marine taxa, people faced challenges adapting their tropical horticultural practices to this new land. This paper explores the changing fortunes of people and dogs during the settlement...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeological fishbone assemblages are the product of dynamic interactions between human fishers and fish stocks, both of which are enmeshed in broader, dynamic socioenvironmental contexts which are continually transformed and sustained by people and non-human entities. Understanding the history of fisheries therefore depends on careful consideration of...

The project's primary focus was to acquire requisite data for understanding and characterizing the complex corrosion and deterioration processes affecting Arizona's hull. The information was then fed into a model to predict the nature and rate of structural changes resulting from corrosion in order to inform management actions.

Three macrofloral samples were examined from different areas in the U.S. Naval Magazine on Guam. Two samples were collected near the base of Latte stones at the Dobo Site and the LaQuet complex. These sites probably date to the Protohistoric period (AD 1100-1521). The third sample was collected from a small utilized shelter in the Maemong River complex. Utilization of this temporary shelter probably also dates to the Protohistoric period. Macrofloral analysis was requested to identify evidence...

This is an abstract from the "Geospatial Studies in the Archaeology of Oceania" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The island communities of Oceania, and none more so than that of Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Chile), continue to develop their economies, modern identities, and narratives of their cultural past based on plentiful archaeological remains that are visited by hundreds, or even thousands, of people on a daily basis. While archaeologists surge...

A goal for cultural heritage management is to advance the comprehensive preservation, conservation and management of cultural resources, defined as the broad array of stories, knowledge, people, places, structures, objects, and the associated environment that contribute to the maintenance of cultural identity and/or reveal the prehistoric, historic and contemporary human interactions with an ecosystem. Involving the state and local community in regular management, activities, and projects should...

Archaeological fieldwork was completed on the atolls of Manihiki and Rakahanga, in the northern Cook Islands, from May to July of 2015 and from July to November of 2017. This includes survey and mapping on six islets, the documentation of extant and past fish traps and fishponds, lagoon to ocean shovel test sampling, and the excavation of habitation and resource production sites. This work identified village centers on each atoll and preliminary analyses indicate that the coral-cluster landscape...

This study seeks to understand the means of dissemination of oral cultural traditions of Oceania across time and geographic space. I hypothesize evolutionary trees produced from analysis of creation myths provide a means to infer prehistoric migrations routes. Additionally, creation myths and language have parallel evolutionary history and form a combined set of core cultural traditions. In order to test these hypotheses, creation myths, selected from the earliest recorded versions from Oceania,...

Customary Fijian fishing weirs, known locally as 'moka', are an archaeological feature type that can be readily identified due to their large size, uniform shape, and conspicuous location on the tidal flats and shorelines of both high and low islands. Recent advances in remote sensing technology have allowed for an improved survey of Fijian fishing weirs adding to the existing inventory and informing upon early settlement patterns in the Fiji Island group. While 'moka' do not play a major part...

This Environmental Compliance Assessment and Management Program (ECAMP) Report presents the results of the environmental compliance assessment that was conducted at Maui Space Surveillance Complex (SSC) from 9-13 December 1996. This assessment was initiated and led by Headquarters Air Force Space Command (HQ AFSPC) and was conducted in accordance with the ECAMP process as defined by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7045. ECAMP was established by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to help commanders assess...

Archaeological research on islands worldwide demonstrates that initial colonists exerted substantial environmental impacts on local ecologies, ranging from the extirpation of native species to landscape modification. The degree of impact was dependent on a host of variables, including the kinds and number of introduced plant and animal species, the remoteness of settled islands, and extent of interaction between discrete landmasses. Yet, there is still much to learn about the consequences of...

GTE Mobilnet of Hawaii Incorporated (Mobilnet), a second tier subsidiary of GTE Corporation, is establishing a new form of communication on the Island of Oahu. This new system is known as cellular mobile radio telecommunication. The proposed project will integrate twelve cell sites and a switch which together will create a mobile communication network. The sites were selected to ensure coverage of the more densely populated portions of Oahu. One site is at the Bellows Air Force Station and is...
