Securing the Future for PKKP through the Remediation of Juukan Gorge and Beyond (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Grant Wilson. Burchell Hayes. Terry Hayes. Jordan Ralph.

This is an abstract from the "Juukan Gorge: The Story of Destruction, Excavation and Rebuilding" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Following the destruction of Juukan Gorge, the PKKP Aboriginal Corporation led the Juukan Gorge Remediation Project, which saw the rehabilitation of the broader Juukan Gorge area within line of site from the Juukan-2 rockshelter. This paper is an exploration of those rehabilitation efforts, which includes the...

Shaken Apart: Community Archaeology In A Post-Industrial Earthquake City (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katharine J. Watson. Jessie Garland.

This paper explores the interplay of a post-industrial setting, heritage and archaeology following a natural disaster. The setting is Christchurch, New Zealand, and the natural disaster was the devastating earthquakes that struck the city in 2010 and 2011, leading to the demolition of thousands of buildings across the city and its surrounds, followed by extensive rebuild-related earthworks. Throughout this process, numerous archaeological sites have been found and much of the built heritage has...

Shellfishing Transitions with Sea Level Rise across the Dampier Archipelago (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Joseph Dortch. Tom Whitley. Peter Veth.

This is an abstract from the "The Art of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper takes a zooarchaeological approach to the investigation of social and demographic changes that may have influenced Holocene rock art production in the Dampier Archipelago, northwestern Australia. Rising sea levels transformed the former Dampier Ranges into peninsulas by 8 ka, and then mega-islands by 6 ka. In the peninsular phase, Aboriginal people...

Shifting Palaeoeconomies at the Rockshelter Site Madjedbebe, Australia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Woo.

The East Alligator River Region has undergone considerable environmental change throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene, with changing sea levels dramatically altering the ecosystems of this region. Current archaeological models for this area indicate that people adapted their economic activities to successfully exploit these shifting environments. Throughout these changes molluscs have played an important role in the economic activities of these groups and often comprise large portions of the...

Shifting Palaeoeconomies in the East Alligator River Region: An Archaeomalacological Perspective (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Woo.

This is an abstract from the "Palaeoeconomic and Environmental Reconstructions in Island and Coastal Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The East Alligator River Region (EARR), Australia, has undergone considerable environmental change throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. Rising sea-levels and changing climatic conditions drastically altered the environments and ecosystems of this region, forcing its inhabitants to adapt their economic...

A Simpler Time: Archaeological Excavations and Assessment at Juukan Gorge 2008–2014 (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Slack.

This is an abstract from the "Juukan Gorge: The Story of Destruction, Excavation and Rebuilding" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper discusses the archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge in 2008 and then in 2014. We present a Late Pleistocene and Holocene chronology for the Gorge (see Slack et al. 2009), indicating that Aboriginal people first occupied the interior of the Hamersley Plateau in Western Australia over 46,000 years ago....

Simulating Lithic Assemblage Composition and Its Relationship to Mobility (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Matthew Barrett. Simon Holdaway.

This is an abstract from the "Variability: A Reassessment of Its Meaning, Afforded Range, and the Relation to Process" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Artifact density and techno-morphological form distribution in lithic assemblages are often used to make inferences about mobility. However, the relationship between such observations and mobility strategies varies with socio-natural contexts, leading to contrasting interpretations of the same data....

State of the Art: Digital Methods for Rock Art Research in 2024 (2024)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrea Jalandoni.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Rock art is under constant threat from natural and anthropogenic deterioration and one of the challenges for archaeologists is to document and study this invaluable heritage before it disappears. Digital archaeology, the use of information technology and digital media for archaeological research, is essential for recording, analyzing and envisioning rock...

‘Strewed with Wrecks’: Results of the 2017 Archaeological Survey of Kenn Reefs, Australian Coral Sea Territory (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James Hunter. Paul Hundley. Kieran Hosty. Irini A Malliaros.

In February 2017, maritime archaeologists affiliated with the Australian National Maritime Museum and Silentworld Foundation conducted a survey of Kenn Reefs. Located at the far eastern extremity of Australia’s Coral Sea Territory, this reef system was an uncharted hazard to navigation in the middle of the ‘Outer Route’, a shipping corridor used by nineteenth-century mariners wishing to avoid transiting through the Great Barrier Reef. Not surprisingly, several shipwrecks occurred at Kenn Reefs...

Suburban archaeology: approaching an archaeology of the middle class in 19th century Melbourne

PROJECT Tim Murray. Susan Lawrence. Andrew May. Linda Young. Sarah Hayes.

This multi-disciplinary Australian Research Council-funded project is jointly held by La Trobe University, University of Melbourne and Deakin University. It engages archaeologists, historians and museologists in an investigation that places material culture at the centre of understandings of suburban middle-class life in Australian cities. The project responds to recent work on consumption, identity, and class formation about the need to investigate the material conditions of the urban middle...

Three Sisters (1874–1899): A Tasmanian Built, Double-Planked Ketch Wrecked in the Intertidal Zone (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wendy van Duivenvoorde. Mark Polzer. Mick de Ruyter.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Transient legacies of the past: Historical Archaeology in the Intertidal Zone", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recent archaeological fieldwork in Lipson Cove, South Australia, recorded the small intertidal shipwreck of the ketch Three Sisters. Preliminary investigations demonstrate that the vessel, built in Hobart, Tasmania in 1874, had a double layer of hull planking and was constructed with wood from all...

Thylacines, Dingoes, and People (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pat Shipman.

This is an abstract from the "Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The peopling of Greater Australia at about 65,000 years ago preceded that of Eurasia and differed in several key aspects. First, there were no other hominins in Australia, though modern humans moving into Eurasia encountered Neanderthals, Denisovans, and possibly relict populations of other hominins. Second, the predatory guild in Australia was less...

Time and the Landscape: Visualizations of Murujuga and Beyond. (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Thomas Whitley.

This is an abstract from the "The Art of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Developing 3D photorealistic visualizations of the landscapes of Murujuga going back nearly 125,000 years has been an objective of research since late 2015. Certain challenges have been met in relation to increasing the accuracy and resolution of bathymetric and topographic data, and in dealing with the complexity of hydrodynamic effects on currently submerged...

This is an abstract from the "Embodied Essence: Anthropological, Historical, and Archaeological Perspectives on the Use of Body Parts and Bodily Substances in Religious Beliefs and Practices" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Although created by people, marine mammal bone (e.g., whale, seal, dugong) ritual installations on land and in the sea are also expressions of marine mammal agency given that the sites are materializations of a social and moral...
