Understanding consolidants on harakeke fibres using Raman microscopy
Polarized light microscopy casts new light on plants used to make tapa
Information about plant materials of construction in artefacts advances knowledge about human history, agriculture, trade, migration and adaptation to new environments. Typically, materials identification in artefacts made from plants is problematic, since processing, age, dirt and surface treatments can mask identifying features, while ethical considerations relating to sampling limit the use of some analytical techniques. The study tests the us…
Strabo and Iberia
This chapter explores the extent to which Strabo's portrayal of the Iberian Peninsula is the result of earlier approaches or a product of the intellectual milieu within which his account was created. A brief outline of Strabo's description of the Peninsula in Book 3 will help understand the type and range of material included therein. Strabo proceeds to describe the Guadalquivir valley before returning to the coast to discuss Turdetania. Strabo d…
Polarized Light Microscopy
Understanding the composition of an artefact has ramifications for advancing human history and behaviour knowledge, providing cultural information about trade, agricultural practices and adaptation to new environments. However, accurate plant identification from artefacts is problematic, since textile production, age, dirt and/or conservation treatments obscure morphological features, and specimen size and/or ethical considerations hamper modern …
Light-ageing characteristics of Māori textiles
Australian Girls' Reading in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
Although the history of girlhood has attracted growing attention around the world, there still remains a lot to uncover, particularly in the Australian context. This article addresses the history of girls' reading habits in the first half of the twentieth century: examining where progress has been made in this area, and looking at avenues for further discussion – particularly in the examination of gender roles and in notions of growing up. This a…
