Aboriginal Women as Providers: The 1830s on the Swan
In The passing o f the Aborigines Daisy Bates says of Fanny Balbuk, whom she considered to be 'the last [Aboriginal] Perth woman': to the end of her life [in 1907] she raged and stormed at the usurping o f her beloved home ground. One of her favourite annoyances was to stand at the gates of Government House, reviling all who dwelt within, because the stone gates guarded by a sentry enclosed her grandmother's burial ground1... Balbuk had been bom …
A view from the other side of the western frontier: Or ‘I met a man who wasn’t there…’
Meetings between different Australian communities were, before the coming of Europeans, (and remain for Aboriginal Australians) highly structured affairs, with elements of ceremonial preparedness for conflict, formal peacemaking, reciprocal exchange of gifts, and sometimes actual conflict and resolution of conflict. The formal rules for the conduct of these public displays are structured by relationships between kin. Different age-grades have dif…

Coastal Does Not Equal Littoral
The coastal plains of the Australian continent are unquestionably highly significant in any assessment of its initial peopling, and also to an understanding of the development, maintenance and change of patterns of occupancy and resource usage, and of the way those patterns are adapted to changes in environment (both climatic and sea level changes, and the effects of human impact)
Microlithic Industries in Western Australia: Some Aspects
Chipped Glass Houses: Comment on ‘The real meaning of edge angles?’, P. Hiscock ( AA 14: 79-85); and on Hiscock's comments ( AA 15: 116–120) on Ferguson's comments ( AA 15: 113–115) on Hiscock
Archaeology needs explicit statements relating each question to the data examined' (or perhaps vice versa?) 'and detailing the relevance of one to the other' (Hiscock 1982b:106). Hiscock Is unremitting in demanding such rigour of others, and we are entitled to expect that his own discussions will meet the highest standards of rigour, clarity, and even accuracy. I shall comment first on apparently trivial inconsistencies and inaccuracies in these …
The Relevance of Old World Archaeology to the First Entry of Man into New Worlds: Colonization Seen from the Antipodes
Following several discussions in recent numbers of Quaternary Research on the peopling of the Americas, this paper suggests that movements into the New World should be viewed in the wider context of subsistence, technology, and movement around the western littorals of the Pacific, resulting in the colonization not of one but of two new continents by men out of Asia. Specific points which have been raised by these recent papers are reviewed in the…

On the Quality of Evidence for Origin and Dispersal of Cultivated Plants [and Comments and Reply]
Sources of evidence for origin and dispersal of cultivated plants are tabulated and classified. All items are qualified, and the level of confidence with which an item of evidence can be accepted varies accordingly. Qualifications are listed as (1) authenticity, (2) abundance, (3) kind, (4) interpretation, and (5) integration. Theories proposed are often based on evidence of very dubious quality; it is suggested here that a more disciplined appro…

Villages in Roman Britain: Some Evidence
‘Villages’ of ‘up to a hundred little huts’ and even ‘pit dwellings' passed from history to mythology after Bersu's Little Woodbury excavations, and Professor Hawkes's consequent reinterpretation of the Cranborne Chase ‘village’ of Woodcuts as superimposed successive farmsteads. The ‘villages’ of the old Ordnance Survey Map of Roman Britain have no place in the scheme of things exemplified in the 1956 edition. But the new orthodoxy of the ‘single…
