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...

This dissertation represents an exploration of three key concepts in nineteenth-century consumerism: cost, quality and value. Broadly conceived as an archaeology of consumption, it evaluates the role these concepts play in approaching the archaeological material culture of the modern world. It interweaves two primary strands of inquiry: one, a consumption-theory driven study of trade catalogues to analyse the cost and promotion of 19th-century tablewares; and two, a close study of production...

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...

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...

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...

This chapter reports some of the thinking behind the work that has been done in Melbourne with the ‘Little Lon’ Project begun by Alan Mayne and Tim Murray in 1996, the Sydney-focused Archaeology of the Modern City project begun in 2001, the Casselden Place project undertaken by a consortium of Godden Mackay Logan Pty Ltd (GML), Austral Archaeology Pty Ltd and La Trobe University during 2002, and forthcoming work in London, we will seek to more clearly establish the value of this broader...

This is an abstract from the "Questioning the Fundamentals of Plant and Animal Domestication" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Domestication could be described as a drawn out, nuanced dance between humans and animals – a dance that shapes not just the animal actors – but the physical, cultural and economic environment of all the players. Recent examples of this effect abound in areas colonized by Europeans, particularly those with drastically...

This is an abstract from the "Crucial Issues in United States Department of Defense Cultural Resources Management " session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Torres Strait Islands, Australia, covers 50,000 km2 and includes 300 islands, with only 17 home to community settlements. Although regional maritime culture includes seascapes rich in cosmological and spiritual meaning, many sites that constitute cultural identity are under threat due to rising sea...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology of Cities: Unearthing Complexity in Urban Landscapes", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2020, a series of excavations by Sydney-based consultants GML Heritage followed the route of a new light railway system cutting its way through Parramatta: the second oldest city in British-occupied Australia. These works revealed a series of sites comprising military barracks, a commercial wharf,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When the two ships of the French exploratory expedition under La Perouse were wrecked in Vanuatu in 1788, the survivors built another vessel from salvaged components and attempted to sail back to France. They never made it, and the expedition was lost without trace until the shipwrecks were discovered in Vanuatu in 1827. The fate...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In recent centuries, Southeast Asian commercial trepang (sea cucumber) traders established seasonal outposts on the shores of the coasts and offshore islands of northern Australia. This southernmost extremity of a network of maritime trade and travel connected Australia and Aboriginal Australia to people from Southeast Asia and indirectly to emerging...

This is an abstract from the "Fifty Years of Fretwell and Lucas: Archaeological Applications of Ideal Distribution Models" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Human populations in Sahul (Pleistocene Australia-New Guinea) probably numbered in the tens of thousands, two orders of magnitude below the 3-4 million estimated at time of European contact. They were also more patchily distributed than simple hypotheses grounded in an ideal free distribution...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists operate within a conflicted position in the commercial business of cultural heritage management. As collaborators with industry and as players within a state bureaucracy, they are beholden to regulations and complicit in the destruction of sites. While archaeologists aim to produce practical benefits for society in general, or at the very least,...

Colonial authorities built numerous institutions in Australia during the nineteenth century to accommodate paupers, orphans, the sick, elderly and other ‘deserving poor’. Lurking in the background was the shadow of the workhouses of England and Ireland, which by the 1840s had earned an infamous reputation for harsh discipline and poor treatment of inmates. How did conditions in Australian destitute asylums compare with those in Britain during this period? A recent Australian Research...
