The archaeology of eastern Lutruwita (Tasmania)
Fifty years have passed since the first systematic archaeological surveys and excavations were conducted in Lutruwita (Tasmania). Despite numerous Late Pleistocene archaeological discoveries in the southwest region, no indisputable pre‐Holocene sites have been found in eastern Tasmania. This profound difference raises questions about how Aboriginal people utilised the Lutruwita landscape; first as a projecting peninsula into the Southern Ocean an…
Effect of surface weathering on portable X‐Ray fluorescence analysis of artefacts
Hornfels was commonly utilised by Aboriginal people in southeastern Tasmania for stone artefact manufacture. Sourcing of hornfels artefacts in this region using pXRF analysis is potentially compromised by the weathering patina generally present on this lithology. To understand the impact of weathering on hornfels composition, the mineralogy and chemical composition of weathered and unweathered hornfels were analysed, and weathering was simulated …

The archaeology of Maliwawa
The archaeology of Bald Rock 1, Bald Rock 2 and Bald Rock 3 at the sandstone outcrop of Maliwawa has established ∼25,000 years of Indigenous occupation in the Wellington Range, northwestern Arnhem Land. Flaked stone artefacts were found from the beginning of the sequence, with ground-edge axes, pounding and grinding technology and ochre recovered from deposits dating from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the recent contact period. Maliwawa was o…
