Risky Business? Prey Choice in Pleistocene and Holocene Northern Australia (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tiina Manne.

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...

Routes Of Removal: Vessel Biographies And The Island Transfer Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Queensland, Australia (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Madeline E Fowler.

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;...

Seafaring in Seacountry (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only R. Helen Farr. Maddy Fowler.

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...

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...

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....

‘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...

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...

Understanding the Interplay between Domesticate Choice and the Environment: The Case of the Humble Australian Sheep (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Melanie Fillios. Sarah Ledogar.

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...
