Social science as social action to address inequalities
In its most recent report, the Academy of the Social Sciences Australia (ASSA, 2021: 10) identified social inequality as a “grand challenge” for the social sciences, arguing that social scientists have a pivotal role to play in “understanding, addressing and guiding us towards a narrowing of a two‐tier society.” Nevertheless, the social sciences continue to be regularly positioned as “soft” and esoteric in relation to the natural sciences, while …
Developing a holistic and collaborative approach for the archaeology of Australian South Sea Islanders in Queensland
Australian South Sea Islanders are a distinctive cultural group comprising descendants of over 60000 labourers who came to Australia from Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and elsewhere in the Western Pacific between 1863 and 1904. “Blackbirded” labourers were commonly referred to as victims of a slave trade, though many also came voluntarily to work in the sugar plantations of northern New South Wales and Queensland. The advent of racist exclusionary imm…

Kin, fictive kin and strategic movement: Working class heritage of the Upper Burnett
The Upper Burnett district of southeast Queensland, Australia is a landscape of working class resilience in the face of natural and institutional oppression. The Upper Burnett was the site of numerous small goldmining towns throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Physically, most of these towns now survive only as archaeological remnants, yet both the tangible heritage elements and the intangible forms of labour heritage, su…
Power relations and community involvement in landscape-based cultural heritage management practice: An Australian case study
Collaborative conservation between Aboriginal people and archaeologists in Australia presents new and innovative opportunities for community control in cultural heritage management practice. Community approaches to heritage emphasise cultural landscapes and Indigenous relationships to land and sea. In this paper we illustrate the value of a community‐led cultural heritage management project in a case study from North Stradbroke Island, southeast …

The Truth Will Out’: Recycling of Packing Timber to Construct a Nineteenth Century Australian Coffin
Professional wood species identification of timber from a lead-lined coffin excavated from the North Brisbane Burial Ground, Brisbane, confirmed the wood as Pinus sibirica , a native of northern Asia and Russia. Its presence probably represents the reuse of wood from a packing case originally used to import goods to the colony

The significance of vivianite in archaeological settings
Vivianite is a bluish mineral sometimes encountered in archaeological deposits. It is notable for its tendency to change color from white or grayish to blue on exposure to air. Vivianite requires specific conditions for its formation—sources of iron, phosphate, and water, as well as low levels of oxygen and sulfide. Microbial activity is also thought to play a part in vivianite formation. The majority of archaeological texts do not discuss vivian…
Teaching archaeological excavation at the University of Queensland: Eight years inside Tardis
Effective teaching and learning of archaeological excavation at university is a complex and difficult task for various pedagogical, logistical, practical, financial and ethical reasons. TARDIS, a simulated multi-component archaeological site, was built on the University of Queensland campus in 1996 as an experiment designed to overcome growing concerns associated with teaching field research discipline on 'real' sites to undergraduate students. T…
Hearts and minds: Public archaeology and the Queensland school curriculum
The school education system is an important public sphere where popular notions of archaeology and the archaeological past are produced and reproduced. Within the framework of an interpretive public archaeology, schools represent a significant social context in which archaeologists might seek meaningful engagement with the wider community. Analysis of the Queensland Education Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) syllabus reveals that there a…
A Lang Park mystery: Analysis of remains from a 19th century burial in Brisbane, Queensland
Salvage excavation of the Suncorp Stadium (Lang Park) redevelopment site in Brisbane revealed almost 400 graves. Originally known as the North Brisbane Burial Grounds, it was the site of Brisbane's principal cemetery between 1843 and 1875. A grave in the Anglican section of the cemetery yielded several teeth and associated non-dental bone fragments, and stature data derived from the coffin indicate a child burial. Observation of the stages of too…
The Archaeology of the Peel Island Lazaret: Part 1: Survey
An archaeological survey on Peel Island in Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland, was conducted to assist the conservation planning for the Peel Island Lazaret (PIL), one of a number of institutions housed on the island during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The survey revealed a patterning of artefacts across the island as well as landscape modification related to its Aboriginal and European institutional uses
Background to the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit's Lang Park Salvage Excavations: History, Significance Assessment and Methods
Brisbane's major football venue, Lang Park, is undergoing a $280 million redevelopment. As part of this project the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit (UQASU) developed a cultural heritage management plan for the site. UQASU identified that the Lang Park site once housed a number of historic cemeteries, dating from the 1840s, and an early brick drain. These were assessed to be of high cultural heritage significance, and in 2000…
The Tower Mill: An archaeological excavation of Queensland's oldest extant building
The Tower Mill, Brisbane's oldest extant building, was excavated by the University of Queensland to determine for the Brisbane City Council the heritage potential of surrounding subsurface deposits. Following the employment of GPR, excavation revealed interesting stratifications, features and artefacts. Analysis permits an explanation for these deposits which augment an already fascinating history of the site's use over the past 170 years or so
