Surveys and Cultural Resource Management in Australia
In this paper we raise several questions relevant to the present state of archaeology in Australia. For some of these questions there may be no easy answers
The Prehistoric Population of Northwest Tasmania
Prehistoric populations may be studied as both diachronic and synchronic phenomena. A variety of formulae have been devised for calculating prehistoric populations. The three most common methods use ethnography, the number of households and the volume of rubbish.This paper compares the results of the last two methods applied to data collected in a stratified survey of some 200 km of the northern part of the west coast of Tasmania. Methodological …
Stone Wall Fish-Traps in Tasmania
Over the last few years a number of coastal fish-traps have been noted in Tasmania by the author and other researchers (Jones, Green, Saunders, pers. coram.) and Colhoun and Piper (1982) have described one such set. This note synthesises the information presently available about their location, origin, construction, mode of operation and catch potential. This is done with a view to assessing their possible use in prehistoric times
Radiocarbon Dates for Archaeological Sites in Tasmania
A table giving the site name, the C14 age estimate, the laboratory reference number, a reference where details of the significance and interpretation of the date are given and a key words column in which the most important aspects of the materials associated with the date have been presented
Results of the Jordan River Midden Excavation
The Jordan River Midden is a large shell midden situated on the west bank of the Jordan River approximately 17km NNW of Hobart. It is 37km from the mouth of the Derwent River. The lower Jordan River cuts through Jurassic dolerite on the eastern bank and Tertiary basalt on the western bank. Several quarry sites have been reported within a 6.5km radius of JRM1
A Note on the Diet of the Tasmanian Aborigines
The Tasmanian Aboriginal diet was drawn from marine and non-marine environments, in which food resources varied according to habitat. Alpine and rain forest environments provided a limited supply of plant food, whereas the wet and dry schlerophyll forests provided an abundant supply of plant and animal foods. The coastal zones, despite a deceptively barren appearance, supplied a consistently rich plant and marsupial food resource that was supplem…
Remote Sensing for Shipwreck Location
A routine site inspection of a proposed shipwreck salvage excavation revealed a technique with important ramifications for survey archaeology. Its potential may prove disastrous to the present job market for field archaeologists
