Les femmes du musée de l’Homme pendant la seconde guerre mondiale: Cas d’étude chez les océanistes
L’histoire complexe du musée de L’Homme est un sujet d’étude qui a été finement analysé, et pourtant un aspect demeure mal connu : celui de la place réservée aux femmes au sein de cette histoire, comme praticiennes d’une ethnologie (au sens large de l’époque) en développement, et comme contributrices de la structuration et de la vie quotidienne du Musée. La période de la seconde guerre mondiale représente un moment-clef de cette histoire, en ce q…
Rethinking boundaries: Tulas on Marra Country and the northern reach of a Holocene innovation
Drawing inspiration from the work of Tim Maloney and India Ella Dilkes-Hall, whose 2020 critical reassessment of tula diffusion in the southern Kimberley (Western Australia) revealed a more gradual, regionally mediated uptake than previously proposed, we report on a number of new tula occurrences in Marra Country, Limmen National Park (Northern Territory) and examine the associated technological and cultural implications. While archaeologists hav…
Ancient apocalypse now: Lessons from pseudoscience in the Pacific in the face of GenAI
Generative AI (GenAI) and misinformation online have the potential to cause harm to Indigenous cultural knowledge advancement and truth-telling endeavours. Indigenous archaeologies in Australia and the Pacific Islands are no strangers to misinformation produced from pseudoarchaeology or fringe narratives; however, the new potential threats posed by GenAI in (re)popularising false histories and the loss of scientific and Indigenous authority are o…
A micro‐geoarchaeological investigation of a cultivation pit ( maite ) on Teti'aroa atoll, Central‐East Polynesia
Cultivation pits represented the principal form of horticultural features developed by past atoll communities in Central‐East Polynesia (CEP), and they are still utilised on some atolls in Oceania. The majority of information about the use of cultivation pits in CEP derives from ethnographic and preliminary archaeological investigations. The lack of excavations with rigorous stratigraphic sampling and analyses has constrained the recovery of envi…
The Size Inherited Age Effect on Radiocarbon Dates of Alluvial Deposits: Redating Charcoal Fragments in a Sand-Bed Stream, Macdonald River, Nsw, Australia
Radiocarbon dates on charred plant remains are often used to define the chronology of archives such as lake cores and fluvial sequences. However, charcoal is often older than its depositional context because old-wood can be burnt and a range of transport and storage stages exist between the woodland and stream or lake bed (“inherited age”). In 1978, Blong and Gillespie dated four size fractions of charcoal found floating or saltating in the Macdo…
Collaborative anthracology and cultural understandings of wood charcoal in Marra Country (northern Australia)
This paper presents results from the first collaborative anthracological (archaeological wood charcoal analysis) study in northern Australia's southwest Gulf of Carpentaria region. The analysis focused on charcoal from a Late Holocene combustion feature and surrounding dispersed charcoal on a buried floor surface. The results suggest that the combustion feature likely functioned as a ground oven associated with a potential specific function, with…
How Linguistic Data Can Inform Archaeological Investigations: An Australian Pilot Study Around Combustion Features
We present an interdisciplinary collaboration whereby linguistic data are explored with the aim of gaining new insights on archaeological features to enrich investigations of the past. Archaeology on its own relies on a very discontinuous record and here we argue that a fuller use of linguistic resources can offer more nuanced insights of the cultural context, and thus a more comprehensive reconstruction of both archaeological histories in genera…
Inherited age of floating charcoal fragments in a sand-bed stream, Macdonald River, NSW, Australia: Implications for radiocarbon dating of sediments
Radiocarbon dates on multiple individual charcoal fragments floating together down the Macdonald River, New South Wales, Australia, have calibrated ages spanning >1700 years. Partial explanations of this range of inherited ages can be attributed to the inbuilt age of living biomass, charcoalisation conditions, hillslope transport and storage and/or valley floor (fluvial) transport and storage, but the contribution of each of these components can …

Reverend Voyce and Père O’Reilly’s excavated collection from Bougainville: A case study in transnational histories of archaeology in the Pacific
This paper considers the transnational collection, interpretation, and circulation of archaeological material acquired in North Solomon Islands (now the Autonomous Region of Bougainville) by Hobart born Methodist missionary the Reverend A. H. Voyce (1899–1984). In 1935, he gave an archaeological assemblage to Father P. O’Reilly, a French Marist priest, in the region to fulfil an ethnographic mission for the Musée d’Ethnographie du Trocadéro/ Musé…
Timorese archaeobotany: An anthracological pilot study at the late Holocene Lepu-Kina rockshelter, Atauro Island, East Timor
This paper details an anthracological pilot study for the Lepu-Kina rockshelter site (AT-7), located on Atauro Island, East Timor and considers the implications of the preliminary results for the archaeology of the region. Archaeological wood charcoal analysis can reveal aspects of fuel selection, human landscape modifications and management of vegetal resources. The difficulties inherent in tropical archaeobotany have, however, constrained anthr…

Les auteur.e.s interrogent le contexte …
Evaluating human responses to Enso driven climate change during the Holocene in northwest Australia through macrobotanical analyses
The Holocene is recognised as a period through which a number of climatic fluctuations and environmental stresses occur—associated with intensifying El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climatic conditions from c. 5000 years—contemporaneous with technological and social changes in Australian Aboriginal lifeways. In the Kimberley region of northwest Western Australia, human responses to ENSO driven climate change are most evident archaeologically i…
Island survival: The anthracological and archaeofaunal evidence for colonial‐era events on Barrow Island, north‐west Australia
The establishment of north‐west Australia's nineteenth‐century pearlshell fisheries led to the first occupation of many arid offshore islands since the early mid‐Holocene. The nature of this occupation, and how crews subsisted on such remote landscapes, remains poorly understood. We investigate a rare instance of an archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological record for this colonial‐era activity at Bandicoot Bay, Barrow Island. Varied taxonomic repre…

Lapita before Lapita: The Early Story of the Meyer/O’Reilly Watom Island Archaeological Collection
Seventeen years before the first excavation at the archaeological site of Lapita (New Caledonia) in 1952, two men of the cloth met and exchanged artefacts, notes and ideas to produce some of the earliest analyses of what later became known as Lapita pottery. Otto Meyer (1877–1937), a Sacred Heart Missionary stationed on Watom Island, described chance finds of ‘prehistoric pottery’ in 1909, following these with more systematic excavations. Patrick…

Putting new francophone archaeology on the Pacific map: Current work of early‐career researchers in “archéologie océaniste
On 24 November 2016, an international workshop bringing together francophone early‐career researchers and practitioners currently active in the field of Pacific archaeology was organised at The Australian National University. As access to opportunities for transnational exchange and representation of their work is not always easy for this group, the aim was to provide an occasion for the ECRs to present their work in English to the Australia‐base…

How Dare Our ‘Prehistoric’ Have a Prehistory of Their Own?! The interplay of historical and biographical contexts in early French archaeology of the Pacific
At the turn of the 19th and 20th century, France was securing its presence as a colonial power in the Pacific. Some of the early French settlers quickly began to take notice of relics: petroglyphs, monumental buildings, buried ceramics and human remains were those most commented upon. A rich and sometimes surprisingly detailed literature appears, describing these objects and their antiquity. In the interpretations proposed, a recurrent theme emer…
Home Is Where the Hearth Is: Anthracological and Microstratigraphic Analyses of Pleistocene and Holocene Combustion Features, Riwi Cave (Kimberley, Western Australia)
The manipulation of fire is a technological act. The identification of the archaeological signatures of the controlled use of fire has important implications not only for the estimations of the origins and functions of the first fireplaces but also for our understanding of prehistoric technological development and resource use. At Riwi (Kimberley region, Western Australia), excavations over two field seasons have revealed a discontinuous occupati…

Not just carbon: Assessment and prospects for the application of anthracology in Oceania
While archaeobotany is increasingly part of archaeological projects in Oceania, the specific sub‐discipline focusing on wood charcoal macro‐remains (anthracology) continues to be a much underdeveloped field of research in Australia and the Pacific. To initiate a regional framework for anthracology, we present here a review of studies based on wood charcoal analyses that have been implemented in Oceania, and we then present anthracological princip…

Human ecodynamics in theMangarevaIslands: A stratified sequence fromNenega‐ItiRockShelter (siteAGA‐3,AgakauitaiIsland)
TheGambierIslands (FrenchPolynesia) are noted for their extreme deforestation and low biodiversity in the post‐European contact period. We report on the archaeological and palaeoecological investigation of a stratified rock shelter (siteAGA‐3) onAgakauitaiIsland, revealing a sequence of environmental transformation followingPolynesian colonisation of the archipelago. Radiocarbon dates indicate use of the rock shelter from the 13th to the mid‐17th…
Mid- to late Holocene landscape change and anthropogenic transformations on Mo‘orea, Society Islands: A multi-proxy approach
Archaeology’s ability to generate long-term datasets of natural and human landscape change positions the discipline as an inter-disciplinary bridge between the social and natural sciences. Using a multi-proxy approach combining archaeological data with palaeoenvironmental indicators embedded in coastal sediments, we outline millennial timescales of lowland landscape evolution in the Society Islands. Geomorphic and cultural histories for four coas…
Charcoals as indicators of ancient tree and fuel strategies: An application of anthracology in the Australian Midwest
Anthracology (charcoal analysis) can inform about palaeoenvironments and human choices concerning the use of wood resources. While charcoal is commonly recovered during excavations, anthracology is poorly developed in Australian archaeology. This paper presents the first application of anthracology in the Midwest of Western Australia, at the Weld-RS-0731 (WA Department of Aboriginal Affairs Site ID 28793) site in the Weld Range. It uses methodolo…
The lost art of stratigraphy? A consideration of excavation strategies in Australian indigenous archaeology
Archaeological interpretation is increasingly an interdisciplinary effort between archaeologists and specialists of various archaeological sciences. In such integrated work, excavation data are the primary reference to provide context for the vast range of cultural and biological material that are later investigated. A review of over three decades of published Australian archaeological data shows that there is a widespread practice in the use of …
