Archaeology as gulindji-bagruk (people), liwik (Ancestors) and biik (Country)
Traditional cultural knowledge and functional analysis of a non-returning wangim (boomerang) from Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country, southeastern Australia
Boomerangs are part of a suite of Australian throwing sticks, which are specialised wooden implements of purposeful design and aerodynamic properties that are used as projectiles. While throwing sticks are known to occur throughout Australia, they are less commonly found in buried contexts. In this paper, we report on a single, non-returning wooden wangim (boomerang) recovered from a reported burial mound at Yarra Junction, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung…
New braided knowledge understandings of an Aboriginal earth ring and biik wurrdha (Jacksons Creek, Sunbury) on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country, southeastern Australia
Aboriginal rings are circular, earth (or rock) features that are preserved at increasingly fewer locations across eastern Australia today. While previous studies indicate these rings are sacred locations of ceremony, little is documented from cultural values and landscape perspectives–particularly in southeastern Australia. This study applies a braided knowledge approach to the study of an Aboriginal earth ring, and the broader biik wurrdha (Jack…
Linking knowledge and action for climate-ready fisheries
Laying Bare the Landscape
This article summarises the methodology we have applied to an intensively investigated part of the Upper Thames Valley. We discuss the potential of digital spatially referenced data to help bridge the gaps between the various commercial units who work side by side in the landscape, as well as between the various planning authorities. This article will be of interest to anyone working with digital data or with diverse datasets to understand wider …
Re-assessing Toys in the Archaeological Assemblage
This paper is intended to pose questions about the recording of Post-Medieval toys found during the course of archaeological excavations in Britain. We ask whether there is any useful purpose in recording the location and deposition of modern toys and toy fragments, and note the absence of any current forum for presenting data on toy recovery. Toys found during the course of excavation at Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxford, are used as a case study
