Organic residue analysis of Early Neolithic ‘bog pots’ from Denmark demonstrates the processing of wild and domestic foodstuffs
Multidisciplinary engagements with Port Arthur’s landscapes of in/justice
The serial property, Australian Convict Sites, was recognised as ‘world heritage’ by UNESCO in 2010 and consists of eleven penal sites connected to Australia’s convict past. One of those eleven sit
Public Education and Archaeology
Ghosts of the Anthropocene
As a place of heritage, the Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmania, Australia, provides a substantial representation of a colonial landscape. Principally associated with Australia’s convict history, the vestiges that are found there today take the form of extant buildings, shorelines, cemeteries, exercise yards and cells. Port Arthur is also thought to harbour less-tangible residues of its pasts in the form of ghostly apparitions and atmospheres. …

Impact of Climate Change to Tourism Sector in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam is forecasted to have one of world’s most severe impacts from climate change. There is a big knowledge gap in research on climate change impacts on tourism in this area. While climate change’s impacts on agriculture and fisheries have received much attention from authorities and researchers, impacts on tourism have largely been ignored. This paper presents findings from a field study the authors conducted to fill th…
Unstable relations
In the fields with which we are most familiar (archaeology and heritage studies), agitations for Indigenous land rights and the emergence of an interest in environmentalism are often traced, togeth
Heritage and communities of compassion in the aftermath of the great earthquake, Nepal
This photo essay explores intimations of Nepal’s heritage – tangible, intangible and ‘living’ – with a focus on the earthquake-ravaged city of Kathmandu. Linking heritage with wider observations about social and cultural resilience, the photos and accompanying text draw attention to the complex processes of social dynamism and cultural resourcefulness unfolding in Nepal. Adopting an auto-ethnographic approach, supplemented with on-the-ground witn…
Ancient lipids document continuity in the use of early hunter–gatherer pottery through 9,000 years of Japanese prehistory
Significance Pottery has had a central role in human society for many millennia, but the reasons for the emergence and spread of this technology are poorly understood. First invented by groups of hunter–gatherers living in East Asia during the last glacial period, production only began to flourish with rising global temperatures in the Holocene, but the reasons for its uptake and spread are unknown. Through chemical analysis of their contents, we…
The Nepalese Himalayas in Prehistoric Context
This article explores the evidence for settlement and mobility within and across the Nepalese Himalayas, focusing on the period from 30 kya to the emergence of early states in the 1st millennium BC. Although trade routes around the Himalayas, such as those of the silk roads, have shaped a sense of the mountains as a marginal and inaccessible landscape, I argue that the high‐altitude/high‐relief landscape is by no means a barrier to exchange and m…
To climb steep hills, requires slow pace at first
This photo essay explores the notion of cultural resiliency in the Nepali Himalayas, and carries a geographic focus that is centred on the village of Langtang. Our interest in capturing this area photographically emerges from several recent fieldwork excursions to Nepal and associated experiences of trekking through two distinct areas: the Langtang Valley and the Annapurna Conservation Area. During our visits to each area, we were struck by local…
A Himalayan triptych
For centuries, if not millennia, the north–south valley systems of Nepal’s Himalayas have acted as a capillary network for communication, exchange, veneration, discriminating cultural difference and measuring out (early-)state power. One valley, in particular, the Kali Gandaki in Mustang, is a palimpsest overlaid with complex socialized and politicized movement. Drawing on the work of those affiliated with post-phenomenological thinking and using…
Earliest evidence for the use of pottery
Illuminating the Late Mesolithic
Shallow oval bowls used on the Baltic coast in the Mesolithic have been suggested as oil lamps, burning animal fat. Here researchers confirm the use of four coastal examples as lamps burning blubber—the fat of marine animals, while an inland example burned fat from terrestrial mammals or freshwater aquatics—perhaps eels. The authors use a combination of lipid biomarker and bulk and single-compound carbon isotope analysis to indicate the origin of…
A systematic approach to the recovery and identification of starches from carbonised deposits on ceramic vessels
Ancient lipids reveal continuity in culinary practices across the transition to agriculture in Northern Europe
Farming transformed societies globally. Yet, despite more than a century of research, there is little consensus on the speed or completeness of this fundamental change and, consequently, on its principal drivers. For Northern Europe, the debate has often centered on the rich archaeological record of the Western Baltic, but even here it is unclear how quickly or completely people abandoned wild terrestrial and marine resources after the introducti…
