The age and paleoclimate implications of relict periglacial block deposits on the New England Tablelands, Australia
Pleistocene periglacial activity in eastern Australia was widespread and has been predicted to have extended along much of the east coast. This paper describes block deposits in the New England Tablelands, Australia, as far north as 30°S. These deposits are characterized by openwork blocks on slopes below the angle of repose. The deposits are positioned where frost cracking was significant and range in area up to 8 ha. Surface exposure dating usi…
Aboriginal resources change through time in New England upland wetlands, south‐east Australia
It has previously been assumed that New England high‐country environments were not conducive to intense Aboriginal occupation and associated ceremonial activities. How productive were upland wetlands (lagoons) for Aboriginal occupation of high country in eastern Australia through time? Especially during their intermittent phases, upland lagoons provide a diverse and changing mix of deep water, marsh and the green pick of recently exposed lake bed…
A Holocene record of climate and hydrological changes from Little Llangothlin Lagoon, south eastern Australia
We present a new well dated Holocene record of environmental change from Little Llangothlin Lagoon in eastern Australia derived from aquatic plant macrofossils, macroscopic charcoal flux, and sediment stratigraphy from multiple cores. Little Llangothlin was an ephemeral freshwater wetland exhibiting frequent dry phases between 9800 and 9300 calendar years before present (cal. yr BP). There was a switch to a more positive water balance after 9300 …
Creative Design of Digital Cognitive Games
Digital cognitive games (DCGs) are games whose primary purpose is to mediate (i.e., support, develop, and enhance) cognitive activities such as problem solving, decision making, planning, and critical reasoning. As these games increase in popularity and usage, more attention should be paid to their design. Currently, there is a lack of design processes that provide both structure and room for creative development of such games. This article prese…
A 6000 Year‐old Fossil Dugong from Botany Bay
The excavation in the 1890s of a skeleton of the warm‐water marine mammal Dugong dugon , associated with Aboriginal artefacts, from a Botany Bay salt marsh, marked the beginning of speculation about climate and sea level change in Australia over the period of human occupation. The dugong bones have recently been dated, giving a conventional 14 C age of 5520±70 years BP, which is consistent with three older 14 C dates for a layer of buried trees t…
Human impact on the natural environment in early colonial Australia
Little Llangothlin Lagoon on the New England Tablelands of northeast New South Wales possesses the most detailed and best verified 210Pb chronology yet available in Australia. Recent criticisms of the length of the record are shown to be based on a faulty understanding of the principles of 210Pb dating. Attempts to revise the chronology of the lower part of the dated sequence by several decades must be rejected given that (a) fundamentally dissim…
Beyond the Limits of Location
The expansion of European occupation across Australia was closely circumscribed during the first half century of the colony's existence. Despite this, there is considerable evidence of unsanctioned movements beyond the officially prescribed boundaries. Given their illegal nature, information on such movements is unlikely to be preserved in the documentary record. Other sources of information may, however, yield evidence of these activities. Perha…
Inter-tidal fixed indicators of former Holocene sea levels in Australia
Land Use and Lake Sedimentation on the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia
Lead-210 methods have been used to establish a chronology of sedimentation extending back almost 80 years in Black Mountain Lagoon near Guyra on the New England Tablelands of north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. Estimates of the direct atmospheric fallout of unsupported 210Pb and historical records of the pattern of phosphorus input to the lake provide support for the 210Pb chronology. The sediments in the lake record an episode of disturban…
