The mechanics and kinematics of freehand and anvil-supported flake retouching: Unpacking the technology of stone tula adzes from the Scarsdale 1 cache, Queensland, Australia
The tula adze is one of the best-described artefact types of the Australian archaeological record. Historical records describe the production of these retouched flakes and their function as hafted woodworking tools. A thick, short flake with a prominent bulb of percussion was retouched into shape across the distal end using either a hard hammerstone or a wooden indentor, with further retouch occurring during the life of the tool as it was used an…
The evolution of stone flaking technology at Leang Panninge (South Sulawesi, Indonesia) from the Late Pleistocene to the ‘Toalean’ technocomplex
Geological controls on the preservation of fossils and archaeology in the islands of the Riau–Lingga Archipelago, Indonesia
The Riau–Lingga Archipelago, situated south of Singapore and east of Sumatra, holds promise from a modeling perspective for the preservation of Homo erectus and other early archaeological material, as hominins traveled south to Island Southeast Asia. The islands in the archipelago are some of the only emergent lands of the now submerged Sunda Shelf, a region ecologically and geographically conducive for early hominin and faunal movements and occu…
Early evidence of Austronesian occupation in the Maros-Pangkep karsts of South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland
This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius. Consisting entirely of 60 large tula adzes with varying degrees of retouch on the margins, none of the artefacts show evidence of hafting or use. Three sets of artefacts conjoin, showing …
A concise Indonesian/English guide to common terms used in excavation and archaeological research | Panduan singkat bahasa Indonesia/Inggris untuk frasa umum yang digunakan dalam ekskavasi dan penelit…
International collaboration has played an important role in archaeological research in Indonesia for well over a century. This article provides a basic list of translations for the most common archaeological terms in the two languages that are currently most frequently used for research, publications, and fieldwork relating to Indonesian research: English and Indonesian.

Uncovering the chemistry of color change in rock art in Leang Tedongnge (Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia)
The distribution, chronology and significance of late Holocene aged stone-based structures on Pitta Pitta Country, western Queensland
There is considerable discourse around the timing of Australia's interior colonisation and whether environmental or technological impacts pushed people into occupying more arid environments. However, the general scarcity of rockshelter sites and the limited amount of research undertaken to date in central western Queensland has meant this region has only been peripherally considered in such debates. It is well recognised that, by the time Europea…
Making impact: Towards discovering early projectile technology in Island South East Asian archaeology
Lithic technologies from a stone hut and arrangement complex in Pitta Pitta Country Queensland, and the detection of social learning in archaeology
Lithic assemblages associated with Indigenous Australian built structures are underexplored. The Hilary Creek Site 1 (HCS1) complex, western Queensland, comprising at least 16 stone-based hut structures and multiple stone arrangements, also contains a surface assemblage of thousands of flaked stone artefacts. Analysis of a sample of this assemblage provides novel insights into the technology and role of flaked stone artefacts at this site, reveal…
Stone‐flaking technology at Leang Bulu Bettue, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Approximately 50000 stone artefacts have been recovered from the prehistoric site of Leang Bulu Bettue (LBB), on the Wallacean island of Sulawesi, in Indonesia. This large assemblage offers the opportunity to produce a large‐scale, comprehensive model of the early lithic technologies of South Sulawesi. Through the analysis of half of this assemblage, this study identifies a technological shift between the artefacts produced ca.50–40 thousand year…
Technology, subsistence strategies and diversity in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, during the Toalean Mid-Holocene period: Recent advances in research
The central Indonesian island of Sulawesi has played an important role in modern and pre-modern human migration through the Southeast Asian island chain. Over the last two decades, archaeological excavations in South Sulawesi have provided new insights into the ancient human past of this region, in particular the extensive Mid-Holocene or ‘Toalean’ sites, as well as several significant Pleistocene-age discoveries. This paper assesses the latest r…
Incised stone artefact in the context of Middle Holocene burials at Cappalombo 1, South Sulawesi, Indonesia | Artefak batu bergores dalam konteks penguburan Holosen Tengah di Situs Cappalombo 1, Sulaw…
Since the recent discovery of Late Pleistocene rock art in Island Southeast Asia was announced, evidence for symbolic behaviour in the region has become a focus of international archaeological interest. South Sulawesi is one region that hold much evidence for this important human activity. In addition to the cave paintings, several engraved stone artefacts have also been recovered in the same area, nearly all of which date back to the Late Pleist…
