What happened after the Last Glacial Maximum? Transitions in site use on an arid inland island in north‐western Australia
The presence of Aboriginal people in interior refuges as climate conditions deteriorated with the onset of glacial aridity is now well documented in the Australian arid zone. Further excavation at Yurlu Kankala, a large rock shelter located on an island of high land in the inland Pilbara, demonstrates repeated human occupation from at least 47–43 cal ka BP through the Last Glacial Maximum to the mid‐Holocene. Despite the continued presence of bon…
Don’t forget the fish – towards an archaeology of the Abydos Plain, Pilbara, Western Australia
The archaeology of the arid and apparently inhospitable spinifex plains of today’s inland Pilbara, Western Australia, is dominated by sites with bedrock grinding patches. These range from single and sometimes barely visible areas of ground granite to sites with more than a hundred flat, slightly concave or sometimes deeply grooved ground patches. Sometimes a solitary feature, sometimes associated with engravings or scattered stone artefacts, thes…
A tale of three caves
Preliminary results of test-pit excavations in Yurlu Kankala and Kariyarra Rockshelter demonstrate the repeated occupation of a topographically distinct ‘island of high land’, in the northeastern Pilbara by Aboriginal people from 45,000 years ago to historical times. These results are the first Pilbara Pleistocene dates from sites outside the Hamersley Range and confirm occupation of this region prior to that in the central and western Pilbara an…
Emerging from the abyss — archaeology in the Pilbara region of Western Australia
Towards a Late Holocene archaeology of the Inland Pilbara
Stone artefact scatters dominate the archaeological landscape of the inland Pilbara. While the archaeological record from rockshelter sites suggests human occupation consisting of brief, intermittent visits by small groups of people, artefact scatters which range from small, discrete single flaking events of perhaps 5–10 artefacts to widespread and varied scatters, sometimes of hundreds of thousands of stone artefacts extending over hundreds of t…
Shell beads and social behaviour in Pleistocene Australia
Why did Palaeolithic people wear shells, and why was the practice so widespread in the world? The authors' own researches in Western Australia show that specific marine shells were targeted, subject to special processes of manufacture into beads and that some had travelled hundreds of kilometres from their source. Whether they were brought in land by the manufacturers, or by specially ornamented people, these beads provided a symbolic language th…
Shell beads from Mandu Mandu Creek rock-shelter, Cape Range peninsula, Western Australia, dated before 30,000 b.p
A site dated well back into the Pleistocene in Western Australia yields modified shells, seen as a further evidence of the attributes of modern humans from an early Australian context

Prehistoric Stone Artefacts on Some Offshore Islands in Western Australia
Aboriginal sites on Australian offshore islands reflect one or more of the following forms of occupation. 1. Prehistoric occupation of elevated areas which were later cut off by glacio-eustatic sea-level rise to become islands. In the case of Tasmania, this occupation continued uninterrupted until the modern era, though several of the larger islands in Bass Strait occupied during the later Pleistocene, and Kangaroo Island off South Australia, wer…
Aboriginal mollusc exploitation in southwestern Australia
Middle Head
Recent field survey along much of the coast of southwestern Australia has yielded firm evidence for prehistoric Aboriginal exploitation of marine shellfish; these new archaeological data are at variance with early ethnographic accounts which suggest that at the time of contact there was a 'ban on eating molluscs' (Hallam 1977:19). The following report describes an Aboriginal shell midden at Middle Head some 190 km north of Perth, where marine she…
An Aboriginal Shell Midden Deposit from the Warroora Coast, Northwestern Australia
There are at present few published archaeological records of Aboriginal occupation sites in coastal northwestern Australia, yet along this very long coastline occur some of the richest archaeological sites known in Western Australia. This report describes one of these sites, an Aboriginal shell midden, located on the Warroora coast (latitude 23o18'34'S), between Shark Bay and North West Cape. Collections from the site include a few stone artefact…
