Wool, Wires and Water
The Strangways Springs artesian mound spring complex in South Australia reveals a layered history in which resources, technology, labor, and culture are significant and changing variables. The site exists in Arabana country, and for thousands of years provided a location for human shelter, artesian waters, and life sustaining resources. The arrival of sheep stations in the “Far North” of South Australia represented a significant rupture and the c…
Using multi-methods in archaeology
The Overland Telegraph system linked Australia to nascent global information and communication networks. Its arrival marked a key milestone in what we call Australia's 'telegraph time'-a fifty-year period from 1854-1904 when telegraphic systems were a significant driver of changes in economic, political and cultural activities. This British colonial infrastructure also marked the beginnings of the displacement of First Nations people along the ro…
Connecting Collections
Australia's vast collections of biological, natural history, ethnographic, and social-historical materials remain largely disconnected from each other and from the public. Connecting these distributed collections, currently dispersed in local, state, national, and global locales, is critically important to generate new knowledge for national and global benefit. The vision of making these collections accessible at scale, alongside innovative metho…

Bioarchaeological analysis of human skeletal remains associated with the wrecking of the retourschip “Batavia”, 1629
The voyage and subsequent mutiny associated with the wrecking of the VOC retourschip “Batavia” (1629) in the Houtman Abrolhos, off the western coast of Australia, represents one of the earliest documented European encounters with Australia. Much of our understanding of events surrounding the mutiny is detailed in a rich historical record, supplemented in the modern period with targeted archaeological research. Most recently, a large-scale multidi…

The Unlucky Voyage
The loss of the Dutch East India Company ship Batavia in 1629 on the Houtman Abrolhos off the west coast of Australia and subsequent mutiny is one of the most dramatic events in the history of European encounters with Australia, and was widely popularized in 17th-century publications. The archaeological remains surpass that of a shipwreck with its consequent jetsam and flotsam, and are the silent witnesses to a cultural landscape of survival crea…
Bioarchaeological analysis of a murder victim associated with the “Batavia” mutiny of 1629
The Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) retourschip “Batavia” was commissioned to serve as a trade vessel between Europe and the East Indies. Her maiden voyage suddenly ended 6 June 1629, wrecking on Morning Reef in the Houtman Abrolhos, off Western Australia. Amongst the earliest documented interactions in the history of European contact with Australia, what followed was a bizarre and macabre series of events that ultimately developed into a …
Australian Colonial Land Settlement
Australia is the only continent besides Antarctica where the European settlement occurred only within the industrial era. Industrial archaeology is potentially an ideal discipline from which to understand the settlement of Australia, given that industrial production was a present and defining factor of all historical activities undertaken after 1788. This chapter considers how archaeological perspectives have provided an understanding of land set…
The Archaeology of Agrarian Australia
The arrival of Europeans in Australia heralded the establishment of new forms of farming reliant on a range of foreign domesticated plants and animals. More than any other colonial industry, farming transformed the continent’s environments, ecosystems, and Indigenous cultures. This chapter considers the history of the archaeology of agrarian Australia, and in particular the ways that Aboriginal people provided labour and knowledge. At the same ti…
Macropod Bone Apatite Isotopic Analysis as Evidence for Recent Environmental Change at Bandicoot Bay Pearling Camp, Barrow Island, Australia
Nature’s Marvels”
The history of collecting in Western Australia demonstrates some unique as well as exemplary features that we suggest can illuminate aspects of collecting more broadly. This article seeks to contribute to scholarship on the history of collecting by arguing for the importance of understanding the ways in which the value of collections—to collectors, institutions and knowledge producers—has been produced. We call this focus on value an extractive v…

Island survival
The establishment of north‐west Australia's nineteenth‐century pearlshell fisheries led to the first occupation of many arid offshore islands since the early mid‐Holocene. The nature of this occupation, and how crews subsisted on such remote landscapes, remains poorly understood. We investigate a rare instance of an archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological record for this colonial‐era activity at Bandicoot Bay, Barrow Island. Varied taxonomic repre…

The Mermaid? Re-envisaging the 1818 exploration of Enderby Island, Murujuga, Western Australia
Archaeological surveys documenting Aboriginal petroglyphs across the Dampier Archipelago (Murujuga) discovered a depiction of a sailing ship on Enderby Island. We argue that this is a depiction of His Majesty’s Cutter (HMC) Mermaid, captained by the British naval officer Phillip Parker King in his survey of Australia’s coastlines between 1817 and 1822. Archaeological evidence and a range of historical sources are used to interpret the image as pa…
Stone artifacts in the intertidal zone, Dampier Archipelago
Stone artifacts recently identified in the intertidal zone at Dolphin Island, Dampier Archipelago, suggest Aboriginal Australian occupation before inundation from early to mid-Holocene sea-level rise. If these artifacts do pre-date inundation, they would be the first evidence for a submerged coastal site on the Dampier Archipelago—substantiating persistent Aboriginal use throughout major environmental changes. The find provides supplementary evid…

Introduction
Towards a historical archaeology of Western Australia's Northwest
This research project ‘The historical archaeology of the post-European period in the Pilbara, Western Australia’ begins a regional synthesis of the historical archaeology of post-European settlement life in this remote region in the northwest of Australia. This study involved field investigations of archaeological evidence for historical coastal settlements; activities to do with the Indian Ocean, mainly pearling and whaling; the establishment of…

Self-Concept of Ability and School Achievement
Three hypotheses concerning self-concept were tested using a sample of 1,050 seventh grade students and a selected subsample of 110 overand under-aohieving students. A significant positive relationship was found between 8elf-concept of ability and grade point average; this relatio?nship persisted even when measured intelltgence was controlled. Specifio self-concept8 of ability related to specific areas of academio achievement were found; in some …
Indigenous perceptions of contact at Inthanoona, Northwest Western Australia
Inthanoona, a pastoral head station in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, which functioned from the 1860s to the 1890s includes an assemblage of more than 250 rock engravings of which 20% are identifiable contact period motifs. These include images of clothed men and women, guns, horses, sheep, wheeled vehicles, houses and ships. Spatial analysis of the structures, artefacts and engravings on the site supports the conclusion that the contac…
The texture of agency
A regional historical archaeological analysis of Strangways Springs Station, northern South Australia, reveals the evidence for interaction in the period 1850–1900 between Aboriginal people and newly arrived European pastoralists. The evidence from campsites and worksites demonstrates differential Aboriginal involvement in the nineteenth century pastoral domain. The nature of cultural interaction changed as the pastoralists adapted and transforme…

Australian historical archaeology
The primary aim of this paper is to provide a review of historical archaeology in Australia. We feel that the continuing debate on the nature and course of the subject could benefit from such a review. Our goal is to provide by demonstration a de facto profile of the discipline and suggest some potential future directions. We do not give a description of the development of Australian historical archaeology but attempt to demonstrate what the disc…

An archaeology of historical reality? A case study of the recent past
An Aboriginal elder, an archaeologist and a geographer report on an interdisciplinary project about colonial-era settlement in the Murchison and Davenport ranges in the Northern Territory. Oral history, physical evidence and historical records reveal a distinct central Australian cultural landscape and show that archaeology can do more than merely exhume material to support historical ‘realities’. This project provides new or improved understandi…

Commemorating the colonial Pilbara
The colonial Northwest of Western Australia was a harsh frontier, where demands for Aboriginal land, labour and knowledge led to dispossession, loss of rights, massacre and generations encumbered with the colonial legacy. In the Pilbara, there are some rare attempts to engage with this difficult colonial history, mainly in the form of heritage site interpretation and heritage trails. Overall, the difficult colonial history of the Northwest is poo…

Historical accounts of European exploration and intervention in Polynesia during the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries speak of the complex interpretative fields through which both Polynesians and Europeans came to understand each other. Here we employ the record of material practices on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to investigate the indigenous response to European contact from the island's 'discovery' by the Dutch in 1722 to the popul…
