  • Whispers from the Archives

    Open AccessAmber Wesley, Chae Byrne et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026References: 13

    This article explores the barriers to reclaiming and preserving Indigenous narratives in historic archives, focusing on the narrative case study of an Aboriginal woman (here a Kuruma woman, Sarah) from the Pilbara region of Western Australia (ca.1880-ca.1950). Barriers obstructed identification of, and access to, materials in archival collections, highlighting persistent challenges faced by researchers and Aboriginal community members. These incl…

  • Remnant peat deposit provides clues to the inundated cultural landscapes of Kepa Kurl, southwestern Australia

    Open AccessIan Ward, Tjaltjraak Healthy Country Program Team et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2023Cited by: 2References: 3

    In early 2021 several tree stumps embedded in a remnant peat deposit were found in the intertidal zone of Wharton Beach, southwestern Australia by Esperance Tjaltjraak Rangers. Attempts were made to identify the tree using both dendrochronological and anthracological methods but were limited by the lack of reference information from tree species in the southwestern Australia. Radiocarbon dates from one stump indicates the tree lived for approxima…

  • Island survival

    Open AccessChae Byrne, C J Byrne et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2020Cited by: 6References: 26

    The establishment of north‐west Australia's nineteenth‐century pearlshell fisheries led to the first occupation of many arid offshore islands since the early mid‐Holocene. The nature of this occupation, and how crews subsisted on such remote landscapes, remains poorly understood. We investigate a rare instance of an archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological record for this colonial‐era activity at Bandicoot Bay, Barrow Island. Varied taxonomic repre…

  • Not just carbon

    Open AccessEmilie Dotte-Sarout, Emilie Dotte‐sarout et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2015Cited by: 37References: 61

    While archaeobotany is increasingly part of archaeological projects in Oceania, the specific sub‐discipline focusing on wood charcoal macro‐remains (anthracology) continues to be a much underdeveloped field of research in Australia and the Pacific. To initiate a regional framework for anthracology, we present here a review of studies based on wood charcoal analyses that have been implemented in Oceania, and we then present anthracological princip…

  • Charcoals as indicators of ancient tree and fuel strategies

    Chae Byrne, C J Byrne et al.ARTICLEAustralian Archaeology2013Cited by: 10References: 7

    Anthracology (charcoal analysis) can inform about palaeoenvironments and human choices concerning the use of wood resources. While charcoal is commonly recovered during excavations, anthracology is poorly developed in Australian archaeology. This paper presents the first application of anthracology in the Midwest of Western Australia, at the Weld-RS-0731 (WA Department of Aboriginal Affairs Site ID 28793) site in the Weld Range. It uses methodolo…
