Exchange in southeastern Australia: An ethnohistorical perspective
This chapter illustrates the extent to which Aborigines in pre-invasion times knew and utilised the physical resources of the country. It demonstrates how much the archaeological record can reveal of ancient living and movement patterns. In surveying the ethnohistorical evidence for exchange in southeastern Australia, the chapter examines the processes involved in transfer of goods, establishes what items are exchanged and under what circumstance…
Perspectives of the past: An introduction
Aboriginal history deals with diverse events, and historical processes of variable scale. It also involves cross-cultural perspectives with many different layers of human behaviour and experience. Aboriginal history may be written by Aboriginal historians or by non-Aboriginal historians whose perspectives and insights inevitably will differ. The cross-cultural perspective renders complex both the events of the past and their construction in histo…
Travellers in storied landscapes: A case study in exchanges and heritage
We are all travellers. Despite Beaudelaire's claim that the true traveller is driven solely by the impulsion to move on ('pour partir'), most travel with intent to arrive. Some of us explore daunting landscapes in search of knowledge, or seeking spiritual awareness in the solitude of such vast spaces. Others may journey in the mind to find further intel lectual or spiritual depths. In societies of many traditions travel of both kinds has a long h…
Ethnohistory in an Australian context: Independent discipline or convenient data quarry
Articles in the first two issues of Aborginal History show that the realisation of this potential is beginning in Australia with the presentation of Aboriginal oral traditions as the basis for historical analysis
Exchange in south-eastern Australia: An ethnohistorical perspective
Systems of simple barter between tribes have been reported from many parts of Australia, but they have been inadequately studied. The primitive economics of the Aborigine have been so imperfectly recorded as a whole that complex institutions of the merbok type may well exist over a much wider area. The fact that they are not recorded and not reported proves very little. For the merbok does not obtrude itself upon the attention of the alien in the…

Rich Heritage - The Transformation Of Archaeological Knowledge Of The Human Past In Oceania
Friday 7 May saw many of Australia's community of archaeologists gathered in the Coombs Building at The Australian National University to honour Jack Golson's pioneering contribution to the study of Pacific prehistory. They were also honouring his leadership as foundation Professor in the Department of Prehistory in the Research School of Pacific Studies. The occasion was marked by the presentation of a special volume, 'A Community of Culture: Th…

Kulin greenstone quarries: The social contexts of production and distribution for the Mt William site
This paper considers aspects of the distribution of greenstone artefacts from quarries in southeastern Australia, particularly that at Mt William. It explores the social contexts of production and of distribution by considering the archaeological evidence against that provided by ethnography, linguistics and ethnohistory. Testing for correlations between features of the artefact distributions and of other aspects of culture for the Kulin tribes o…

Educational Goals of University Schools of Prehistory and Archaeology: Mechanick Trades in the Ivory Tower
The article addresses the question whether Australia needs archaeologists and if career opportunities that exist in Australia are in keeping with the perceived need. The author opines that expertise is needed and can be put to effective use. Professional archaeologists need to be trained through programmes adapted to its specific demands. The interdisciplinary nature of prehistoric archaeology provides unique educational opportunities because arc…

The main discussion agenda and topics of the meeting of the Australian Archaeological Association that was held in Melbourne are presented. The ratification of the draft constitution and the proposal of a new association of archaeologists are found to be some of the main discussion topics of the meeting
Seelands and Sai Yok Pebble Tools: A Further Consideration
Pebble tool industries, in which the dominant tool types are made on water worn pebbles obtained from river or beach gravels, with a working edge created by the junction of either two flaked surfaces with the pebble cortex are relatively common in lithic technologies, understandably since the pebble tool is a simple, readily-made stone artefact which can serve as a multi-purpose tool

Radiocarbon Dates for Northern New South Wales
The archaeological work being undertaken in the New England region of northern New South Wales is part of a long-term study of the prehistory of this part of the state, combining field survey with the excavation of stratified sites. In both these aspects work is proceeding on a regional basis, at present concentrating on a coastal river valley (that of the Clarence), and the Northern Tablelands, areas offering contrasting environments, sub-tropic…

Preliminary Report on a Petrological Study of Ground-Edge Artefacts from North-Eastern New South Wales, Australia
Petrological and chemical analyses of stone, bronze and iron implements are playing an increasingly important role in the study of prehistoric economies. Their contributions, long familiar to students of European prehistory, were recently discussed in a paper which also reviewed the evidence from Polynesia, Melanesia and Australia (Clark, 1965). Apart from some studies limited to stone artefacts from individual archaeological sites, these techniq…
