Leaving for Port Jackson
On the morning of 28 April 1770, James Cook and his crew sailed into Botany Bay in the bark Endeavour, becoming the first Europeans to set foot on the east coast of Australia (Cook, 1955, 304-312). The event itself had negligible impact on the environment or on the peoples that occupied the territory. Its broader consequences, however, were massive. Perhaps the most significant of these was that the area was recommended as the site of the colony …
Wind-reworked fluvial deposits as an archaeological environment
The deposits of Sydney's rivers are thought to have experienced widespread aeolian modification during the Quaternary. The resultant sediments form archaeologically important landscapes upon which are found several of the oldest archaeological sites in the Sydney district. Unfortunately, little is known of the processes and products of aeolian reworking. The context of the archaeological discoveries is therefore enigmatic. This study focusses on …

The origin and stratigraphic significance of the Quaternary Waterloo Rock of the Botany Basin of south-east Australia
The Waterloo Rock is an informally defined, variably indurated layer widely encountered in the Quaternary deposits of the Botany Basin of south-east Australia. The unit has been identified as a regionally significant stratigraphic marker, as playing an important role in the hydrogeological behaviour of the Botany Sands Aquifer and as a distinctive component of the soils of the Tuggerah Soil Landscape of the Botany Lowlands. Yet no systematic acco…
Human impact on the natural environment in early colonial Australia
Little Llangothlin Lagoon on the New England Tablelands of northeast New South Wales possesses the most detailed and best verified 210Pb chronology yet available in Australia. Recent criticisms of the length of the record are shown to be based on a faulty understanding of the principles of 210Pb dating. Attempts to revise the chronology of the lower part of the dated sequence by several decades must be rejected given that (a) fundamentally dissim…
Beyond the Limits of Location
The expansion of European occupation across Australia was closely circumscribed during the first half century of the colony's existence. Despite this, there is considerable evidence of unsanctioned movements beyond the officially prescribed boundaries. Given their illegal nature, information on such movements is unlikely to be preserved in the documentary record. Other sources of information may, however, yield evidence of these activities. Perha…
The late-Holocene decline of Casuarinaceae in southeast Australia
In a seminal paper, Crowley (1994a) attributed the decline of Casuarinaceae in Australia during the period of European contact to soil salinization, itself the product of vegetation clearance and raised groundwater levels. However, the post-contact Casuarinaceae decline in the New England area of northeast New South Wales was not associated with salinization. Instead, there is strong evidence that the decline was caused by the preferential use an…

Land Use and Lake Sedimentation on the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia
Lead-210 methods have been used to establish a chronology of sedimentation extending back almost 80 years in Black Mountain Lagoon near Guyra on the New England Tablelands of north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. Estimates of the direct atmospheric fallout of unsupported 210Pb and historical records of the pattern of phosphorus input to the lake provide support for the 210Pb chronology. The sediments in the lake record an episode of disturban…

The lost city of north‐west Queensland
Jennings and Sweeting's (1963) model of landscape evolution in the Limestone Ranges of Western Australia has been proposed as a general scheme of semi‐arid karstification by Williams (1978) and Ford and Williams (1989). The model involves an initial plateau surface which undergoes progressive karstic dissection. The resultant landscape is characterised first by giant grikelands, then by box valleys and finally by karst towers. The depth of dissec…
The Stratigraphy of Kirkhead Cave, an Upper Palaeolithic Site in Northern England
Volume 52 of the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society contained two articles (Salisbury 1986; Tipping 1986) critical of our paper ‘The stratigraphy of Kirkhead Cave, an upper palaeolithic site in northern England’ (Gale and Hunt 1985). Here we reply. Before dealing with the criticisms made by Salisbury, we correct the factual errors in his paper. 1. Bolton and Morris ‘... excavated through, and ultimately removed some 5 to 7 metres of cave eart…

Sediments of ?Pleistocene and Holocene age infilling an ancient irrigation channel adjacent to the Wadi Gobbeen in Tripolitania are described. The irrigation channel is part of a Romano-Libyan floodwater-farming system. Techniques for estimating the hydrological characteristics of floodwater-farming systems are applied to the irrigation channel to provide an indication of the water-carrying capacity of ancient floodwater-farming systems in the Li…
The Unesco Libyan Valleys Survey IX
Active karst landforms (poljes, dolines, sinkholes, caves and rillenkarren) and hydration and weathering phenomena on anhydrite and limestone are described from the Tripolitanian pre-desert. Rainfall in the study area is considerably less than the 250–300 mm a −1 previously suggested as the minimum precipitation threshold for the development of karst landforms. These findings suggest that the presence of karst land-forms in an arid region cannot …
Kirkhead Cave
Existing hypotheses concerning the speed and timing of the recolonisation of Britain by man after the last glaciation have largely been developed in the absence of securely‐dated Later Upper Palaeolithic (LUP) sites in the marginal areas of colonisation. In Kirkhead Cave, the most important LUP site in northern England, palynological, molluscan and palaeomagnetic evidence indicate that LUP occupation did not commence until mid‐pollen zone III of …
Social Accounts and Planning for Changes in Urban Housing Markets
A conception of the housing market as a lagged, dynamic matching process is presented as an alternative to the conventional microeconomic formulation. Various components of changes in occupancy patterns are identified, in a general multidimensional accounting framework, as a means for the structuring of observations of household and dwelling-unit characteristics of urban populations. Parameters for several stochastic models of housing-market phen…
