Size Isn’t Everything. Shells In Mounds, Middens And Natural Deposits
The problems in identifying the nature of the depositional processes involved in shell deposits in mounds, middens and natural deposits in Australia are discussed

Archaeological Research, Site Recording, and Management, Archaeology Branch, Department of Community Services, Brisbane
At recent archaeological conferences I have been asked on a number of occasions what the objectives of the Archaeology Branch are in terms of archaeological research and cultural resource management in Queensland. It was apparent there were some misconceptions about what was being done (for example the notion that Environmental Impact Statements were not undertaken in Queensland). A recent editorial in Australian Archaeology 21 has called for a w…
The Whitsunday Islands: Initial Historical and Archaeological Observations and Implications for Future Work
The Cumberland and Northumberland Island Groups, more commonly known as the Whitsunday Islands, form the largest offshore island chain on the east coast of Australia. Between 20oS and 21oS latitudes there are 37 large islands ranging in size from 10,931ha (Whitsunday Island) to 100ha and a further 96 islands less than 100ha in size. Combined they cover an area of 35,296ha or 3,529km2. Some of these were surveyed for archaeological sites in Septem…
Archaeological Investigations on MOA and Naghi Islands, Western Torres Strait
Archaeological investigations in the Torres Strait region have been limited and of a preliminary nature with reconstructions of Torres Strait prehistory still relying for their formulation on ethnohistorical sources, environmental data and archaeological evidence from areas north and south of the Strait. This apparent lack of interest in the archaeology of the area must be attributed to logistical difficulties, not to an underestimation of the ro…
Further Radiocarbon Dates from Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island
A sequence of radiocarbon dates on shell, from Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island was reported in Australian Archaeology in 1981 (Rowland 1981). This sequence indicated that a Holocene beach ridge at Mazie Bay had been occupied on an irregular basis from ca. 4000 BP through to the present, though a discontinuity in both occupation and ridge formation was suspected at ca. 3500 BP. Further dates were reported in 1982 (Rowland 1982), this time from Sout…
Coast and Estuary. Archaeological Investigations on the North Coast of New South Wales at Wombah and Schnapper Point
Stockyard Point - Capricorn Coast: A brief note from terra incognita
On returning from fieldwork on the Keppel Islands in July 1980 we were informed by Mr David Hutton of Yeppoon of an oyster midden at Stockyard Point '800 ft above sea level, less than 0.75 km from the beach and containing considerable quantities of shell and stone
Further Radiocarbon Dates from the Keppel Islands
A sequence of radiocarbon dates on shell, from Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island was reported in Australian Archaeology in 1981 (Rowland 1981). This sequence indicated that Mazie Bay had been occupied from ca. 4000 BP through to the present, at least on a seasonal or irregular basis. Further dates, all on shell (Crassostrea amaea) from sites on South Keppel Island indicate a somewhat different history of occupation for that island
Radiocarbon Dates for a Shell Fishhook and Disc From Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island
The author observes that the earlier radiocarbon dates for a shell fishhook and disc from Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island needs to be modified on the basis of fresh evidence
The Keppel Islands - Preliminary Investigations
The research findings into the Aboriginal prehistory of the Keppel Islands to study their occupation and adaptation are described. The findings give an idea about the population, determinants of settlement and adaptive strategies related to particular environmental contexts

The Evolution of Social Systems
The Relation Between Archaeology and Anthropology
The archaeological interpretation of prehistoric metalworking
Certain general assumptions made by archaeologists as to the organization of metalwork production are examined, with particular reference to the European Bronze Age. Alternative models to those generally accepted for the trade in raw materials, the position and status of the smith in society, and forms of industrial organization are proposed and the influence of factors such as increased specialization and trade are discussed. Finally, attention …
