Seeing red: The use of Congo Red dye to identify cooked and damaged starch grains in archaeological residues
An Adze Manufactured From A Telegraph Insulator, Harvey’S Return, Kangaroo Island
A small, modified flake tool manufactured from telegraph insulator material was located along the north western coast of Kangaroo Island, at a place known as Harvey's Return. The tool was hafted and has been well used during its active life and its working edge is illustrated in Figure I. Residue analysis indicates a thick coating of resin, which cannot be specifically identified although Spinifex and Xanthorrea can be excluded (Loy 2002)
The Genetic Speciation of Archaeological Fish Bone: A Feasibility Study from Southeast Queensland
Current genetic methods enable highly specific identification of DNA from modern fish bone. The applicability of these methods to the identification of archaeological fish bone was investigated through a study of a sample from late Holocene southeast Queensland sites. The resultant overall success rate of 2% indicates that DNA analysis is, as yet, not feasible for identifying fish bone from any given site. Taphonomic issues influencing the potent…
An Archaeological Reconnaissance of Karst Caves within the Southern Forests Region of Tasmania, September 1987
A recent archaeological exploratory expedition to limestone and dolomite caves in Ihe 'Southern Forests' region of south - central Tasmania has revealed fundamentally new aspects concerning the Pleistocene archaeological record of Tasmania. Plans by the Tasmanian H}'dro-Electric Commission to dam lhe lower Gordon river system led in the early 1980's to a series of archaeological reconnaissances being carried out in karst outcrops, especially alon…
