New radiocarbon dates for the Roonka Flat Aboriginal burial ground, South Australia
New radiocarbon dates for the Roonka Flat Aboriginal burial ground, South Australia." Australian Archaeology, 46(1), pp. 36–37
Trends in stature in the South Australian Aboriginal Murraylands
Millennial and secular changes in body height of prehistoric and recent Aboriginal South Australians are investigated. Skeletal remains of 55 male and 40 female individuals who were excavated at Roonka on the River Murray were dated from 9800 to 100 years BP. Stature was reconstructed by using humerus, femur, and tibia ratios to stature derived from Abbie's (1975) data on living Aborigines and the Trotter-Gleser method for blacks. The respective …
Alterations of in vivo elemental dietary signatures in archaeological bone
Thermogravimetric and multi‐element analyses of archaeological human rib and modem mammal controls from the lower Murray River region of South Australia indicate that magnesium, strontium, and barium concentrations in the archaeological bone have been altered significantly by post‐mortem chemical reactions in the burial environment. Ionic exchanges between soil solution and buried bone resulted in lower bone magnesium concentrations and higher bo…
Prehistoric health status of the Roonka population
At Roonka in the Lower Murray Basin of South Australia, where excavations 1968–77 have produced a contingently related record of hunter‐gatherer population, cultural and habitat change which extends from 0,02kyr BP to 18kyr BP, the health status of the prehistoric population has recently been reexamined by radiography following upon an initial 1974/5 study of demography, palaelopathology and evolutionary relationships based upon gross external os…
Dentition of a prehistoric population from Roonka Flat, South Australia
The Economic and Social Context of Southern San Rock Art [and Comments and Reply]
This paper suggests a new theoretical framework for understanding southern San rock art. The traditional explanations have been either innatist or functionalist. To escape the tautology of the former and the restrictions of the latter it is suggested that the articulation between the art and the social relations of production be sought. This articulation was expressed in the activities of medicine men, whose symbolic work acted upon the reproduct…
Differential Artistic Productivity in the Eskimo Cultural Tradition [and Comments and Reply]
Conditions of archaeological preservation along the Arctic coast of North America allow the recovery of objects of technology and plastic art throughout the past 4,000 years of the Eskimo cultural tradition. This situation provides a unique opportunity for approaching the question: Why is more and better art produced during certain periods in the history of a society, or, in this case, of a series of historically related societies, while at other…
The Migration of Folktales
This paper attempts to draw together some of the evidences of borrowing in folktales from the Old World to the New. It abstracts in four channels, from Europe across the North Atlantic, from Africa across the South Atlantic, from Northeast Asia via the Bering Strait, and from Southeast Asia across the South Pacific. Considering both pre- and post-Columbian borrowing, it calls on both physical and cultural anthropology as witnesses to the route an…
