Survival, Social Cohesion and Rock Art: The Painted Hands of Western Arnhem Land, Australia
This paper explores the complex story of a particular style of rock art in western Arnhem Land known as ‘Painted Hands’. Using new evidence from recent fieldwork, we present a definition for their style, distribution and place in the stylistic chronologies of this region. We argue these motifs played an important cultural role in Aboriginal society during the period of European settlement in the region. We explore the complex messages embedded in…
Navigating Contact: Tradition and Innovation in Australian Contact Rock Art
Going to pieces at the funeral: Completeness and complexity in early Bronze Age jet 'necklace' assemblages
This article explores how the ways in which we as archaeologists view material culture - as being constituted of many parts or attributes, as complete, as dynamic, as unchanging - can affect the ways we interpret it. In doing so, it addresses the inherent conflict of object classification: while individual objects vary in significant and observable ways, to be included in broader research agendas they must be approximated to normative and idealiz…
Islandscapes and ‘Islandness’: The Prehistoric Isle of Man in the Irish Seascape
This paper will explore the role of the Isle of Man in the prehistory of the Irish Sea area through an examination of its changing islandscape from the Neolithic through the Iron Age. It was far from insular during prehistory, but the social and economic interactions of prehistoric Manx people around the Irish Sea and beyond were heavily affected by their water‐bound environment. The way that the prehistoric Manx perceived their boundaries and th…
Seeing is perceiving
Current archaeological concerns with viewing and all things visual are predicated upon a series of assumptions that have so far escaped serious consideration. This state of affairs resulted from the way in which our concerns with mapping and analysing patterns of seeing and looking in the past emerged before any broader critical consideration of the senses per se. To place an interpretative premium upon viewing space is to accept that vision as a…
