How Religious Organisations Contribute to Meaning in Life
Religions and religious organisations are key sources of meaning in life through beliefs, values, ritual and experiences. As affiliation with religious institutions is in decline in Australia, the question becomes what role does it continue to play. This research explored this question through interviews with 71 retired Australians about how faith does or does not contribute to meaning in life. Forty-five interviewees had frequent connections wit…

Do Religion and Spirituality Make a Contribution to the Public Good? The Association of Religion and Spirituality with Volunteering
Involvement in religious communities has long been associated with a variety of contributions to the public good such as volunteering. However, the patterns of religiosity are complex in Australia, with many indicating ‘no religion’ and with a changing balance in the proportions attending Evangelical and Pentecostal churches compared with the mainstream churches. Approximately one quarter of the adult population describes themselves as ‘spiritual…

Are the widespread scatters of stone artefacts on dune surfaces in southeastern arid Australia really late Holocene in age
Vast numbers of stone artefact clusters (commonly called artefact scatters) occur on dune surfaces throughout southeastern arid Australia, virtually all of them undated. They were interpreted by researchers in the 1980s and 1990s as being mainly of late Holocene age on the basis of their surface or near-surface locations and the composition of their assemblages, which include backed artefacts, tulas and unifacial points. In this article, we analy…
Preliminary report of the 2019 excavation at Švédův Stůl Cave in the Moravian Karst
Švédův Stůl Cave in the Moravian Karst has been excavated several times since Martin Kříž started the first excavation in 1886. Two parts of the site were re-excavated in 2019. The primary aim was to conduct classical as well as innovative and experimental sedimentological and geoarchaeological investigations of sediments from the discarded spoil heap outside the cave entrance (trench C–D). Intact sediments with a small number of lithic artefacts…

Watura Jurnti
Watura Jurnti (DAA #6287) was first occupied in 42000–45000 BP, with evidence of occupation continuing through the arid LGM and deglacial period to c.15000 BP. There was a very pronounced reduction in both occupation and deposition between c.15000 and 1500 BP. The small size and nature of the stone artefact assemblage indicates that use of the shelter has been intermittent and non‐intensive throughout most of the past 42–45 ka. Watura Jurnti is o…
Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation at Kuk Swamp in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea
The subject of this chapter is the nomination of Kuk for World Heritage listing by UNESCO. It deals with the story up to the point of the site’s acceptance in July 2008. The nomination was not the first time that consideration had been given to the question of long-term conservation at Kuk in the interests of cultural heritage, as distinct from short-term protection in the interests of archaeological research, as discussed in Chapter 24. Previous…
Phase 1
Evidence of past human activities sealed by grey clay was first discovered during stratigraphic recording of plantation drains at Kuk in 1974. Excavations occurred at the site in subsequent years (1975-77 and 1998) to determine more fully the character of the finds (Fig. The archaeological remains, which date to 10,000 years ago, are unique to Kuk and have two major components: a palaeochannel (a prehistoric channel) and a palaeosurface (an old b…
Landform boundary effects on Holocene forager landscape use in arid South Australia
Climate change in deserts
This book is a grand tour of climate change in the arid and semi-arid lands, which now occupy some 36% of the land area of the globe. Most of these ‘deserts’ are in the temperate zones between ∼15°
The geoarchaeology of a Holocene site on the Woolshed Embankment, Lake George, New South Wales
An extensive scatter of stone artefacts recorded as Site WE-1 on the Woolshed Embankment at the northern end of Lake George in southern NSW has been examined in the light of recent information on the lake’s history. Optical dates show that the core of the embankment formed between ~22,000 and 15,000 ya. Archaeological materials have survived in the overlying deposits, though they have been affected to a degree by repeated cultivation. These archa…
The central lowlands of the Hunter Valley, NSW
The central lowlands of the Hunter Valley are rich in Holocene-aged open stone artefact concentrations but, to date, very few verified traces of Pleistocene occupation have been found there. The central lowlands would have been a reasonably attractive place to live, so logic suggests that there should be Pleistocene sites. Given the geomorphic and soil formation processes that have operated over the potentially long period of Aboriginal occupatio…
Prehistoric mining at Olympic Dam in arid South Australia
A site in the Olympic Dam area, recorded during archaeological surveying as a silcrete quarry, was investigated. Hand‐excavated squares and subsequent machine‐excavated trenches revealed an ancient “mine” rather than a simple surface quarry. Blocks of high‐quality silcrete were levered from below the ground surface and many were knapped in the immediate area. Rubble in the pit backfills included large numbers of flakes. Single‐grain optical dates…
Using census data in the management of religious diversity
Mapping and measuring religious diversity has become critical to the management of interreligious relations in the 21st century. The data about religious identification provided by the Australian census since the formation of Federal Government in Australia, and prior to that in the Colonies, has provided detailed information about the extent of and changes in religious diversity in the nation and in particular cities. Because the census also pro…
Spirituality and Religious Tolerance
Claims of exclusive possession of the truth within Western Christianity have often been associated with intolerance of other religions. Over the past 40 years, an increased number of people around the world have described themselves as “spiritual” rather than as “religious”. As some forms of spirituality do not involve the acceptance of particular doctrines as truths, it might be expected that the spiritual might be more tolerant of various relig…

Terminological Debate in the Upper Hunter Valley
Archaeologists have variously used the terms ‘indurated mudstone’ and ‘tuff’ as a description for the fine-textured, very hard, yellowish, orange, reddish-brown or grey rocks from the upper Hunter Valley from which many of the stone artefacts there were made. The desire of archaeologists working in the region to offer a precise and accurate geological description of this material has fuelled debate about whether ‘tuff’ or ‘mudstone’ is the most a…
Pleistocene Rockshelters J23 and J24, Mesa J, Pilbara, Western Australia
Two spatially close rockshelters at Mesa J in the Pilbara had relatively deep deposits and large numbers of stone artefacts distributed from top to bottom. The basal archaeological materials have been directly dated as (in the case of J24) or are inferred to be (in the case of J23) late Pleistocene in age. In J24 artefacts continued downwards throughout basal Spit 10, indicating that occupation of the rockshelter began before 27,657 cal BP, possi…
Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion. Volume 1 (2010)
This chapter explores the nature of religiosity among young people in Australia and Thailand. In so doing, it reflects on how the nature of religiosity relates to the broader cultural landscape. It will argue that the forms that religion takes reflects not only the broader cultural framework, but the ways that specific religions interacts with the social and cultural framework

Why people don't go to Church.
The churches in Australia are an important social institution. Every week church services are held across Australia at which people meet to worship God and to be nurtured in the Christian faith. While churches conduct a range of other activities, including welfare activities, school education and health care, the provision of public worship through church services remains a central role of the churches.\nThe research in this book identifies the l…
Pleistocene Occupation of the Arid Zone in Southeast Australia
A number of reasons why the Strzelecki Desert-Cooper creek area should be a highly suitable place in which to begin systematically seeking evidence for Pleistocene occupation in the arid zone of the southeastern part of Australia and its semi-arid fringes are provided where original archeological material in Pleistocene deposits have been found. However, indications are that the density of Pleistocene archeological remains is extremely low and th…
Pleistocene Archaeology in the Flinders Range
Research is conducted in the early stone industry known as the Kartan in the Flinders Range to study its dating and associations. In the northern Flinders range and along creeks near the shores of Lake Frome, there are sites of at least reasonable antiquity some of which have artefacts in their natural form in Pleistocene deposits dating back to 20,000 BP and the tools they contain could be a local expression of the Kartan industry
Reading Early Agriculture at Kuk Swamp, Wahgi Valley, Papua New Guinea
Multi-disciplinary field investigations were undertaken in 1972–7 and 1998–9 at Kuk Swamp in the upper Wahgi Valley in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Multi-period finds dating from the early Holocene to the recent past and interpreted to represent human manipulation of a wetland margin for plant exploitation were documented. The archaeological remains dating from the early to mid-Holocene have partially grounded contested claims for the emerg…
Backed Blades in Northern Australia

Prehistoric and World War II Use of Shell Mounds in Darwin Harbour
Darwin Harbour is one of the largest bays along the Northern Territory coastline. Some shell mounds around the Harbour are renowned as the creations of the scrub-fowl Megapodius reinvardt (Stone 1989). However, the abundant archaeological middens that exist within the region have received little attention. While this failure to explore the archaeology of Darwin Harbour is being remedied in the regional study by Bums (1999), there is still a need …

A brief history of archaeological work in northwest Queensland
In recent years there has been a sharp increase in interest in the archaeology of Northwest Queensland. The area has hitherto been neglected by archaeologists due to both the prohibitive cost of fieldwork and the coastal orientation of archaeological questions in Australia. The following summary is presented to inform QAR readers of the work that has been undertaken in the area and that which is still in progress. The geographical area of concern…
One Method of Recording Scatters of Stone Artefacts during Site Surveys
Surface scatters of stone artefacts are the most commonly occurring prehistoric archaeological sites in Australia, but until recently they have received scant attention from researchers. Notable exceptions to this are the ongoing research projects of Dan Witter in New South Wales and Victoria, Peter Hiscock in northwest Queensland and Sylvia Hallam in the Perth region of Western Australia. Artefact scatters are often located in the course of cons…

The assimilation of christianity in the thai culture
The anthropological theorist, Mary Douglas, has developed tile Durkheimian thesis that certain aspects of religion and cosmology tend to reflect the social structures of the society in which they are found. She has argued that the type of cosmology in a society tends to correlate with the amount of pressure on individuals to conform to the wishes of social leaders or to general social expectations and regulations, and to the extent to which there…
The Earliest Life of St. John Fisher
The beginning of all our knowledge of St. John Fisher is a life written in the reign of Queen Elizabeth from thirty to forty years after his death. This account, after circulating in manuscript for almost a century, was finally published as The Life and Death of that renowned John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester. Comprising the highest and hidden Transactions of Church and State in the Reign of Henry the 8, with divers Morall, Historicall, and Politi…
Pius the Eleventh
Whoever would write about a modern pope labours under serious handicaps. The public utterances of the popes are veiled by a conventional language that most effectually muffles their personality. In the action of the Roman See upon the universal Church during the time they are its bishop, it is not by any means easy to disentangle the part of the pope and the part of the high official whose trained mind is the papal instrument. Convention, again, …

Lampron—Castle of Armenian Cilicia
In this article the historical importance of Lampron, and the architecture of the castle as it stands at present, are described. The work was done during the summer vacation of 1966. For simplification of description in the text the longer axis of the castle is assumed to run north–south. The scale that appears in some photographs is marked in 1⁄2 metre divisions, with an additional short length at the top. “... tous les seigneurs de ce château s…

Personality and Community Involvement
A random sample of 1033 adults in an Australian community survey completed a form containing the abbreviated Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire together with an index of community involvement in a range of secular groups and church attendance. The data indicate that different personality characteristics are associated with church attendance on the one hand and with secular areas of community involvement on the other hand

Identity and Religion in Contemporary Australia
This paper draws on data from two national surveys conducted by Edith Cowan University and NCLS Research to examine the nature of religious identification in Australia. It finds that the importance of religion to people’s sense of identity is closely related to church attendance, religious beliefs, and the importance of ethnic identity. Some people describe themselves as ‘spiritual’ rather than ‘religious’, although most people opt to describe th…
Characteristics of religious knowledge among Australian students
Drawing on the Spirit of Generation Y project and extensions of that project undertaken in 25 Australian schools by the Christian Research Association, it is argued that the approach to religious knowledge by Australian students can be contrasted with their approach to other forms of knowledge by four features. These are diversity of opinion in the arena of religious knowledge, a lack of clarity in opinion, the affirmation that one can pick and c…

The Nature of Spirituality among Young People in Australia and Thailand
Eighty interviews with Thai young people and 283 interviews with Australian young people revealed that there were similarities and differences in the ways they related to religion. All Thai young people identified with a religion and considered religion important as a basis for morality. In contrast, many Australian young people neither identified with religion nor considered it important. In both contexts, many young people occasionally or never…
