DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Grey.

This is an abstract from the "Advances in Macrobotanical and Microbotanical Archaeobotany, Part II" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The floristic complexity of native Australian grasslands means they are a haven for biodiversity, and have provided a range of subsistence, material, and sociocultural resources for Indigenous peoples. Disentangling the ways in which people engaged with these environments is a complex task, and has, to date, relied on...

Formal variation in Australian spear and spearthrower technology (1989)

DOCUMENT Citation Only B J Cundy.

J. Whittaker: [Actually covers only Central Australia and the northern half of the Northern Territory so some important types and variation not included. A very good study although marred by many typos and almost no illustrations of spearthrowers and spears. One of the best sources on spearthrower mechanics and physics, but the explanations are not always clear. I’ve translated into English as much as I can.] 1. Intro: Variation should be explained by technological and functional factors as...

Forming The Footprint Of A City: 19th Century Consumerism And Material Identity In Christchurch, New Zealand (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jessie Garland.

The volume of archaeological work undertaken in Christchurch, New Zealand, since the 2011 earthquake has uncovered a vast quantity of material culture related to the 19th century settlement and development of the city. The challenge of interpreting this material has revealed several unique opportunities to examine questions of consumption and agency in the formation of the city’s material identity. In particular, the city-wide scale of archaeological excavation in combination with a site by site...

The Global Effort to Train Diving Archaeologists: the UNESCO UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wendy Van Duivenvoorde. Jonathan Benjamin.

Underwater archaeology, which has emerged as a distinct sub-discipline, has its own specific practical and theoretical debates, issues and history. Education in underwater archaeology, however, is challenging. In practice, the study and professional activity merges maritime sectors and industry with traditional academic archaeology. The UNITWIN Network for Underwater Archaeology aims to increase capacity through international cooperation. The Network is designed to enhance the protection and...

A Historical Archaeology of the Commonwealth Block 1850-1950

Intermeshed with these working-class networks was a complicated landscape of small-scale businesses, and a cluster of large factories.

Household Narratives From a Colonial Frontier: The Archaeology of The Maria Place Cottages, Whanganui, New Zealand (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Naomi J Woods.

Whanganui has a colourful history, from its beginnings as a planned New Zealand Company settlement in 1840, to a base for colonial warfare and then a hub for intensive farming of the surrounding hinterland by the turn of the twentieth century. The Maria Place cottages lay in the heart of this town, originally nestled between the two main stockades and subsequently becoming a part of the bustling central business district, and as such they have the potential to reveal a wealth of information...

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

DOCUMENT Citation Only Aleisha R Buckler.

This paper explores the recursive relationships between people and the environment in a colonial port setting on the coast of Queensland, Australia. Established in c.1860, the St Lawrence port settlement and the lives of its inhabitants were mediated by the dynamic coastal environment which characterises the surrounding region. Transformations of the physical environment prompted by settlers to allow for port development changed the geomorphology of the creek environment and led to accelerated...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katharine J. Watson.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

These men were part of the first wave of European settlers of the new city, and their houses differed not just from each other, but also from the majority of houses built by the first European settlers. Most new settlers built either...

Immigrant Diets and the Making of Australia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberley Connor.

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Immigration and Refugee Resettlement" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Australia, Casella and Fredericksen have argued, places of confinement have a disproportionate importance in the national mythology because they are material representations of classic Australian heroes: the convict, the outlaw, and the larrikin. Criminal or mischievous acts are recast as rejecting an unjust social system or an...

Through this project I aim to document the ways in which Indigenous artists exercise self-determination in expressing identity through creative means. A complex and significant issue is evident in the depiction of Indigenous Australians within the media which continue to stereotype or ignore...
