Aboriginal labour force documents
During an overland tour of inspection to Darwin in July and August last, having in mind the acute manpower shortage in Australia generally and NT in particular, whilst at Alice Springs I discussed with resident officials of the Commonwealth Natives Affairs Branch, the prospect of utilising aboriginal labour for certain types of manual work.Subsequently a recommendation was made that the question be fully investigated by higher Authority.You are p…
Australian Anthropology
the establishment of an Anthropology Section within colonial Victoria's Royal Society.That tiny but optimistic group was destined to have its stability destroyed by the great economic depression of the 1890's, but in 1890 it constituted a unique combination of talent, because three of Australia's most significant anthropological pioneers held membership.In addition to public servant Howitt , there was his missionary collaborator, Lorimer Fison (1…

Discovering man’s place in nature
D.J. Mulvaney delivered a paper to the Australian Academy of the Humanities at its Second Annual General Meeting at Canberra on 19 May 1971. He spoke about the role and place on man in nature

Past regained, future lost
The Kow Swamp collection of Pleistocene human remains from southeast Australia is perhaps the largest skeletal collection ever recovered from a single Pleistocene context. It was 'returned' for re-burial last year. John Mulvaney, a senior Australian prehistorian, reports on a situation in which the issues concerning the bones of ancient people are at their most acute
Australians to 1788
Archaeological retrospect 9
In this penultimate contribution to our series in which archaeologists look back at archaeology in their time, John Mulvaney, formerly Professor of Prehistory and head of the Department of Prehistory and Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts, Australian National University, Canberra, speaks of his work as a teacher, writer, researcher and archaeological politician. More than anyone he has taught the world about Australian prehistory and the Austral…
Foreward - Archaeology in Queensland
As Queensland and Western Australia receive the archaeological attention which they deserve, during this decade, it is likely that Australian prehistory will be rewritten drastically. Historic settlement populated southeastern Australia and made it the focus of European urbanised development, but there is no reason why the evidence for northern prehistory should not redress this geographic imbalance. Queensland's immensely long and ecologically r…
What Future for Our Past
Walter Edmund Roth, the distinguished ethnologist of Queensland, went up to Oxford exactly a century ago, as a classmate of Walter Baldwin Spencer in the biological laboratory. Fortunately for Australian ethnography, their University Museum teachers included H.N. Moseley, a former naturalist and ethnographer on the Challengev expedition, and E.B. Tylor, the anthropological pioneer. By 1888 Spencer held the Biology Chair at Melbourne University, s…
Two Remarkably Parallel Careers
On the 18th of April 1980 two famous Australian pre-historians, F.D. McCarthy and N.B. Tindale, were admitted, honoris causa, to the degree of Doctor of Science at the Australian National University, on the grounds of their distinguished creative achievement as scholars
The Prehistory of Australia
Australian Aboriginal Anthropology
Aboriginal Man and Environment in Australia
Man came to Australia well before the end of the Pleistocene epoch - the so-called Ice Age. To understand his history, then, both early and later, calls for an understanding of climate and environment, and the changes that have taken place in them. Early man in Australia was a stone-using huntergatherer, and the traditional Aboriginal economy and society have persisted into modern times, so a wealth of ethnographic information is available to hel…
Prehistory from Antipodean Perspectives
My initial Australian fieldwork was still a year ahead when, surprisingly, I featured anonymously on a verbal distribution map confidently sketched by the Disney Professor. I was the ‘Australia’ reference of his Inaugural lecture, thereby illustrating his proposition (Clark, 1954, 33), that ‘the geographical field of Cambridge prehistorians has been ... the whole world’. My Cambridge contemporaries, Sieveking and Golson, respectively represented …
Archaeology in Sulawesi, Indonesia
Alfred Russel Wallace visited southern Celebes in 18567. Captivated by its unique natural history, particularly its colourful butterflies, he concentrated upon collecting in the rugged limestone mountains around Bantimurung waterfall, east of Maros. Observing that the high, precipitous, cliffs were heavily vegetated, Wallace (1890, 181) wrote words of archaeological allurement-'their surfaces are very irregular, broken into holes and fissures, wi…
Green Gully revisited
Excavations are described which were conducted subsequent to the removal of the burial. Trenches were located at different localities in order to provide exposed sections at all levels of the Keilor sediments. The stone artifacts recovered were not numerous, but they were comparable from all trenches. Included in the analysis were some tools from Wright's excavation trench (GGW). Trimmed implements in the Keilor Terrace were made on flakes and ar…

Archaeological and Geomorphological Investigations on Mt. Moffatt Station, Queensland, Australia
History came late to Lethbridge Pocket, on Mt. Moffatt's northern boundary, just over the crest of the Great Dividing Range, source of the extensive Maranoa, Warrego and Fitzroy river systems. Explorer Major Thomas Mitchell skirted the area to the westward in 1846, observing (Mitchell, 1848, 208) that the prospect towards the dominating, massive table-lands ‘was very grand’; the name of Dean Buckland, geologist and antiquarian, was bestowed upon …

Australian Aboriginal Anthropology
The Stone Age of Australia
Fieldwork in Australian prehistory began in the opening year of Australia's history; the first excavation was directed by the Colonial Governor. In an official despatch dated 15 May 1788, less than five months after the landing at Sydney Cove, Governor Arthur Phillip recorded the results of his excavation. ‘The ground having been raised in several places, as is common in England, where poor people are buried, I had one of these graves opened, and…

The Pleistocene Colonization of Australia
The Australian continent was peopled during the Pleistocene epoch. Positive evidence for this migration is lately emerging from that limbo known to archaeologists as (suspense account', a void into which many oddments have been shot over the years. Probably the most exotic claims were coincident with Dubois' revelation of Pithecanthropus in Java, when Australian optimists exhibited casts of the imprints left by (human' feet and buttocks, in alleg…

Fact, Fancy and Aboriginal Australian Ethnic Origins
Australian Radio-carbon Dates
The Antipodean archaeologist has more than passing interest in the opinions expressed in ANTIQUITY concerning the reliability of radio-carbon 14 age estimations. To him, objective prehistory seems unattainable without the combination of stratigraphy and radio-carbon. Other geochronological schemes remain to be devised and tested in Australia, while the material simplicity of aboriginal culture deprives the prehistorian of many customary ancillary…
