This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In 2020 the Deep History of Sea Country project team published the discovery of two underwater archaeological sites in Murujuga Sea Country (Dampier Archipelago), Western Australia. Further lab analysis and field-based observations have been since undertaken, and these contribute to our understanding of the submerged sites within the broader setting within...

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. This paper reflects on 15 years of close analysis of over 55,000 prices in store and mail order catalogues and price lists of major Australian, English, American and Canadian retailers dating from the 1860s to 1907. These rare and dense resources...

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...

This is an abstract from the "The Archaeology of Wetlands" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. We compare residential patterning of hunter-gatherer/forager populations along wetlands on the coastal plains of the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia and the Riverine Plain of the Murray Darling River Basin, New South Wales. Although climates are very different in these regions, people needed to adapt to the variability, as well as the specific...

This is an abstract from the "Establishing the Science of Paleolithic Archaeology: The Legacy of Harold Dibble (1951–2018) Part I" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. 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...

  The Australian National Maritime Museum and the Australian Maritime Museums Council invited regional maritime museums to submit local content, or ‘shipwreck stories’, for a nationally travelling banner exhibition on Australian shipwrecks. The final graphic panel exhibition, Submerged: stories of Australia's shipwrecks, is produced by the ANMM, touring nationally and free of charge from 2018. Host venues may display their own/loaned objects with the graphic panel exhibition and are provided...

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...

This is an abstract from the "Painting the Past: Interpretive Approaches in Global Rock Art Research" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent decades, studies of contact rock art have significantly contributed to rock art research globally. A key reason for this is that such artworks can represent a reverse gaze across cross-cultural encounters. Another reason is that contact rock art affords us neatly chronological points of time, before and...

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;...

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. Multiple Indigenous stories along the northern Australian coast talk of seafaring and the coastal environments encountered and created. These stories form an intangible maritime cultural heritage of Seacountry that is entangled with narratives of sea level rise and changes in the marine environment. These narratives...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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....

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...
