Fish otolith microchemistry: Snapshots of lake conditions during early human occupation of Lake Mungo, Australia
The geoarchaeology of a Holocene site on the Woolshed Embankment, Lake George, New South Wales
An extensive scatter of stone artefacts recorded as Site WE-1 on the Woolshed Embankment at the northern end of Lake George in southern NSW has been examined in the light of recent information on the lake’s history. Optical dates show that the core of the embankment formed between ~22,000 and 15,000 ya. Archaeological materials have survived in the overlying deposits, though they have been affected to a degree by repeated cultivation. These archa…
Ethnographic Economics and the Study of Population in Prehistoric New Zealand: Viewed through Archaeology
Archaeological excavations at Mungo
This is a report on the uncompleted programme of field surveys and excavations of two large trenches, carried out by the author at Mungo between 1974 and 1980. The objective was to substantiate and develop the discoveries of 1969. Influences on the research design and methods, and a short history of ideas in Archaeology and their impact during the protracted study are given. The excavation results reveal an anomaly between the apparent stratigrap…
Archaeology with a short, isolated time-scale: New Zealand
New Zealand (fig. I I) was probably one of the last fertile, substantial areas of the earth to have been colonized by prehistoric man. It marks the end of migratory movements and its former isolation seems to have ensured little or no cross-play with other societies. Thus, within limits, what took place in New Zealand must have resulted from the inherent powers of its settlers, rather than from cultural and technological 'leapfrogging', found in …
An Investigation of Prehistoric Diet and Economy on a Coastal Site at Galatea Bay, New Zealand
The importance of attempting to reconstruct diet from a study of biological data from archaeological sites has been stressed by earlier workers, both in Britain and the United States. The present study is based on materials recovered from the excavation of a midden deposit at Galatea Bay, on an offshore island of the North Island of New Zealand, by Mr J. E. Terrell, whose complete report (No. 1) is to appear in the Transactions of the Royal Socie…
