Dick was an unusual and amazing person (Figure 1). He had many interests and hobbies, but I’ll remember him most for his unquenchable curiosity, his courage to try things that hadn’t been done befo
A spearthrower butt from Widgingarri, Western Kimberley, Western Australia
Despite the dominance of wood-based technologies in Australian Aboriginal techno-complexes, recovery of archaeological examples is exceedingly rare in the north of the continent where environmental conditions are most harsh for such archaeologically fragile items. Here we report the discovery of a 210 year old spearthrower butt made from bat-wing coral tree (Erythrina vespertilio) from the Worrorra site of Widgingarri 9 (western Kimberley)
Moving on
High residential mobility characterises the lifestyle of Aboriginal people of the Esperance area over the last 13,000 years. Despite environmental conditions and a resource structure in the coastal zone that would have sustained a less mobile lifestyle, the archaeological record in both coast and interior refl ects a long-term commitment to moving on
Grand hypotheses
Appraised are two palaeodemographic models proposed for Late Quaternary Aboriginal cultural history in Western Australia's South‐west. Both are grounded on two ideas: (1) wetter conditions regionally lead to replacement of open vegetative associations by forest unsuited for foraging populations; (2) large‐scale shifts in stone artefact 'discard rates' recorded in occupation deposits indicate regional population changes. The original model propose…
Revisiting Pleistocene Macrozamia
This note clarifies the evidence of late Pleistocene Macrozamia exploitation from Cheetup, Western Australia, published in 1982 (Smith), and establishes Macrozamia treatment as an example of late Pleistocene resource management
Dots on the Map
Like other people in Australia's tropical north the Bardi of the West Kimberley's Dampierland Peninsula experience the marked contrasts of the 'wet' and the 'dry'. Accordingly their subsistence patterns have been a response to this wet-dry cycle. This paper presents a case study of one aspect of Bardi seasonal response, past and present camp site location
Bardi relationships with sea
