The evolution of stone flaking technology at Leang Panninge (South Sulawesi, Indonesia) from the Late Pleistocene to the ‘Toalean’ technocomplex
The Impact of Contact
Here, we report the first attempt to use isotope geochemistry to improve understanding of the experiences of Indigenous Australians living on the colonial frontier in late 19th century CE Australia. In the study, we analysed strontium ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr), carbon (δ 13 C), and oxygen (δ 18 O) isotope ratios from the tooth enamel and dentine of six individuals who died in Normanton, Queensland, in the 1890s. The study was a collaboration between scient…
Shark-tooth artefacts from middle Holocene Sulawesi
Although first identified 120 years ago, knowledge of the Toalean technoculture of Middle Holocene Sulawesi, Indonesia, remains limited. Previous research has emphasised the exploitation of largely terrestrial resources by hunter-gatherers on the island. The recent recovery of two modified tiger shark teeth from the Maros-Pangkep karsts of South Sulawesi, however, offers new insights. The authors combine use-wear and residue analyses with ethnogr…
The missing deposits of South Sulawesi
Isotopic analyses of prehistoric human remains from the Flinders Group, Queensland, Australia, support an association between burial practices and status
Portable art from Pleistocene Sulawesi
A strontium isoscape of north-east Australia for human provenance and repatriation
It has been estimated that up to 25% of Indigenous human remains held in Australian institutions are unprovenanced. Geochemical tracers like strontium isotope ratios ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) have been used globally for over 40 years to discern human provenance and provide independent data to aid in repatriation efforts. To reliably apply this technology, landscape 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope ratio variability must be quantified. In Australia, only a few studies …
