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...

This is an abstract from the "From Tomb Raider to Indiana Jones: Pitfalls and Potential Promise of Archaeology in Pop Culture" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. 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...

This paper presents preliminary findings of doctoral research exploring the influences of Victorian middle-class values on nineteenth-century health concerns. After years of professional research on 19th health-related artefacts within archaeological assemblages, the author noted a reoccurring pattern in the historical literature which promotes the idea of a lack of middle-class values within working-class populations. This research project contests this notion by exploring how these values...

On January 30, 1944 a B-24H was struck by anti-aircraft during an attack on Udine, Italy, lost altitude, and crashed on the Morgo Island.

Identifying the material expressions of torture, punishment, discipline, and imprisonment are key factors in addressing the ways in which society exerts its control over the individual; particularly the non-conformist, the criminal, and the slave. With respect to the spatial expression of coerced labour control, the emphasis has been upon the idea of the "panoptican" or the mechanism by which the labourer can never know if he is being watched. Another form of coerced labour management though, is...

This is an abstract from the "The Art of Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Early figurative rock art from northern Australia contains large animal outline figures as well as monochrome anthropomorphic depictions. The latter often have extraordinary detail in accoutrements, headdresses, weaponry and associated material culture. They likely depict ceremonial and collective strategies shared over large areas and expected at the tail end of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "“And in his needy shop a tortoise hung”: Construction Of Retail Environments And The Agency Of Retailers In Historical Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The opportunity to investigate the material culture of a place from behind the commercial veil is rare. Processes of distribution and retail are often under-represented in the archaeological record and overshadowed by the refuse of domestic...

In 2017, maritime archaeologists from the Silentworld Foundation and Australian National Maritime Museum conducted a survey of historic shipwreck sites at Kenn Reefs, Australian Coral Sea Territory. The acquired data was utilised to build a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) project. Maritime archaeology was born of, and is continually improved by, technological advances. GIS has become yet another indispensible tool to the modern maritime archaeologist - integrating data ranging...

To varying extents old buildings are historical documents. In the following paper Luke Godwin of the Department of Prehistory and Archaeology, University of New England, discusses his recent investigations of McCrossin's Mill, a late 19th century flourmill at Uralla in northern New South Wales. He sees the construction of the mill and the material remains of its working life, closure and subsequent use, as a reflection of the economic history of New England, in particular of the history of the...

The mental asylums of the nineteenth century, influenced by the concepts of moral therapy and non-restraint, were intended to be curative environments capable of reforming the mad. The architecture and built environment of these institutions was in essence the treatment, making the asylums both highly ideological and also inextricably physical. Through a comparative analysis of four such institutions in New South Wales, this paper will examine the tensions between the social and material...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Seacountries of Northern Australia and Island Neighbours", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The sea country of Groote Eylandt was formed by ancestral beings who made a vast interconnecting network of islands and waterways; the saltwater that defines the contours of the land has also profoundly shaped Groote Eylandt culture, history and archaeology. Rock paintings of boats and fishing scenes occur from beach to...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The iconic ship illustration in the thirteenth-century Paris 'Schefer' Maqamat manuscript is one of the most significant individual images used in maritime archaeology. This painting was the primary iconographic source for interpretations of the Belitung wreck and for the design and construction of two full-sized replica ships, and...

A slowly fading inscription, scored into a sandstone boulder at the North Head Quarantine Station, Sydney, records the names of three, or possibly four, people—John, Alice Oliver and George. Dated to July 1893 the inscription prompts immediate questions: who were John, Alice Oliver and George? Were they a family? Under what circumstances did they find themselves in quarantine? Where did they come from and how? Did they survive their time in quarantine, or is this a memorial to loved ones lost?...
