God, Caesar and Mammon at Coronation Hill
Australia is on the brink of a recession, and we have platinum, palladium and 350,000 ozs of gold locked up in Coronation Hill but we cannot go ahead and mine it because, all of a sudden, it has become a sacred site. It was not a sacred site fifty years ago. Barry Coulter, Treasurer of the Northern Territory, 27/8/86

Early Austronesian Social Organization: The Evidence of Language [and Comments and Reply]
Published views on early Austronesian social organization can be characterized broadly as representing one of two mutually irreconcilable positions: one that recognizes descent groups and another that does not. The former position-in a highly specific form that I call the "prescriptive-alliance hypothesis"-has been adopted by most Dutch scholars concerned with the culture history of Indonesia and was independently reached by Levi-Strauss in the c…
Quantum Adjustment, Macroevolution, and the Social Field: Some Comments on Evolution and Culture [and Comments and Reply]
Ever since the neo-Darwinian synthesis, stability models have dominated both ecology and population genetics. This has discouraged the biological study of progressive evolution. The introduction of biological models into cultural anthropology has been marked by an emphasis upon stability models as well, and progressive evolution in cultural systems has therefore not received adequate attention. Recent developments in the life sciences, however, h…
A structural analysis of paired ceremonies in a dual social organization
The Arnhem Land Aborigines who live nowadays on the Beswick Reserve in the north of the Northern Territory of Australia are divided between patrilineal moieties named Dua and Jiridja, Each has its great religious cult, Jiridja the Jabuduruwa and Dua the Gunabibi, which it celebrates annually with the other's assistance. The general nature of the relation between these classes with regard to each other's cult was noted by Hiatt (1965:67). He found…

Warlpiri Land Tenure: A Test Case in Legal Anthropology
Imagery and social structure at two Dalabon rock art sites
The two sites of whose imagery I propose to give an account are within the Arnhem Land Reserve in the stony country west of the upper reaches of the Wilton, a tributary of the Roper River. The sites are named Bolungbi:m and Gudabubi:m. I discuss, first, the names of the sites; second, the art at the sites; and third, the significance of the imagery
