Imitative Learning of a Flaked Stone Technology-The Case of an Orangutan
The Zhoukoudian Upper Cave skull 101 and multiregionalism
Multivariate Analysis of Compositional Data: Applied Comparisons Favour Standard Principal Components Analysis Over Aitchison's Loglinear Contrast Method
There has been debate about whether standard principal components analysis is appropriate for the multivariate analysis of compositional data (e.g. oxide composition of glass), Loglinear transformation has been recommended by Aitchison as a prerequisite. This paper argues that previous comparisons of methodological merits have tended to circularity of argument by making assumptions about the form of a good multivariate result. To break the circul…

Correlation between cranial form and geography in Homo sapiens: CRANID – a computer program for forensic and other applications
The paper studies the correlation between cranial form and geography. It uses 2524 crania from around the world, measured by W.W. Howells. The first two principal components of cranial shape are rotated to maximum congruence with the world map. A correlation of 0.451 is found with longitude and 0.637 with latitude. A better (albeit unquantified) correlation is found when 20 components of shape are used, and the results portrayed as a dendrogram. …
Humid to Arid to Subhumid Vegetation Shift on Pilliga Sandstone, Ulungra Springs, New South Wales
The Pilliga Sandstone region of the northwest slope of New South Wales has a natural vegetation cover of sclerophyllous relatively closed to open forests with a largely heathy understorey, and a warm, subhumid and continental climate. Pollen analysis of spring-fed deposits gives a vegetation history extending from at least 30,000 yr B.P. to the late Holocene. Tree pollen became scarce after about 25,000 yr B.P. and an assemblage dominated by Chen…
The Upper Cave at Zhoukoudian and the origins of the Mongoloids
Coexistence of humans and megafauna in Australia: Improved Stratified Evidence
Cuts on Lancefield Bones: Carnivorous Thylacoleo, not Humans, the Cause
Broughton Island, N.S.W. Recent Prehistoric use of an Offshore Ocean Island
In June 1974 exceptionally strong winds coincided with high tides on the coast of New South Wales to create damaging waves. Unpublicized results were wave cut sections in middens previously unrecorded. One such exposure was on Broughton Island, which was visited by the author for a day in July 1974
