When East Is Northwest: Expanding the Archaeological Boundary for Leilira Blade Production
A recent archaeological survey of the Lake Moondarra stone axe quarry near Mt Isa in northwest Queensland has identified two leilira blade quarries. These quarries extend the known archaeological boundary of large blades from eastern Arnhem Land into northwest Queensland. The absence of leilira blades from six habitation sites at Moondarra and other sites in Kalkadoon country may assist in defining clear boundaries between two blade types that we…
Risk and economic reciprocity: An analysis of three regional Aboriginal food-sharing systems in late Holocene Australia
AbstarctThis paper is a theoretical examination of food-sharing systems and archaeological theory. The specific aim is to assess the archaeological indicators of three different foodsharing systems, with the variable relationships between riskmanagement, social regionalisation, economic reciprocity and exchange. It is suggested that the Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) festivities in the southern highlands of New South Wales, the Bunya nut (Araucaria…
Hammer dressed stone hatchets in the Lake Eyre Basin
Examination of 137 edge ground stone hatchets from the Lake Eyre Basin suggested that as distance from the source increases the artefacts were more intensively reduced by hammer dressing. By reducing the thickness of the hatchet with hammer dressing an acute edge angle can be maintained as resharpening ingresses towards the original thicker centre of the hatchet. I hypothesise that hammer dressing is a curation practice to extend the use‐life of …
