A Descriptive Analysis of the First Australians

Art and megafauna in the Top End of the Northern Territory, Australia
The term ‘megafauna’ is used to describe ‘an arbitrary compilation of relatively large mammalian, reptilian, and avian taxa, ranging in size from ~10 kg or less up to >2,000 kg’ (Wroe et al. 2013a:8777). In Australia, there were over 50 species in at least six genera commonly discussed as becoming extinct since the arrival of modern humans about 50,000 years ago (for a detailed summary see Cane 2013:41–47); however, within a broader time frame, 8…

Megafauna and Humans in Southeast Asia and Australia

The First Boat People
The First Boat People concerns how people travelled across the world to Australia in the Pleistocene. It traces movement from Africa to Australia, offering a new view of population growth at that time, challenging current ideas, and underscoring problems with the 'Out of Africa' theory of how modern humans emerged. The variety of routes, strategies and opportunities that could have been used by those first migrants is proposed against the very di…

Morphological Chronoclines among Late Pleistocene Muskrats ( Ondatra zibethicus
The muskrat ( Ondatra zibethicus ) is presumed to have undergone a rapid phyletic size decrease near the end of the Pleistocene. Evolutionary changes in the size of middle to late Wisconsinan (ca. 32,000–12,300 14 C yr B.P.) muskrats from the Aucilla River, Jefferson County, Florida, were reconstructed by examining length and width of the lower first molar (m1). Body mass, estimated from m1 length, was relatively stable from 32,000 to 16,000 14 C…
Spatial Response of Mammals to Late Quaternary Environmental Fluctuations
Analyses of fossil mammal faunas from 2945 localities in the United States demonstrate that the geographic ranges of individual species shifted at different times, in different directions, and at different rates in response to late Quaternary environmental fluctuations. The geographic pattern of faunal provinces was similar for the late Pleistocene and late Holocene, but differing environmental gradients resulted in dissimilar species composition…
Pleistocene Human Occupation Site At Lake Urana, New South Wales
Lake Urana is located at the eastern margin of the Riverine Plain of southeastern Australia. Â In its oval to kidney shape, shallow topography, northwest to southeast orientation and shoreline geomorphology Lake Urana closely resembles other lakes of the Mur ray Basin including Mungo, Tyrrell and Kow Swamp. Although Lake Urana often holds surface water in late winter and early spring it has filled to overflow level only four times since records w…
Geochronology of a Rich Early Pleistocene Vertebrate Fauna, Leisey Shell Pit, Tampa Bay, Florida
Leisey Shell Pit, on the southeastern edge of Tampa Bay, has produced the largest early Pleistocene vertebrate fauna in North America, consisting of about 30,000 cataloged specimens. The predominantly terrestrial and freshwater vertebrate fauna was transported into an estuarine environment during a regressive phase in an otherwise marine, bay-bottom sequence of sandy shell beds. The biochronological age of the Leisey Shell Pit local fauna is late…
An Archaeological Reconnaissance of Karst Caves within the Southern Forests Region of Tasmania, September 1987
A recent archaeological exploratory expedition to limestone and dolomite caves in Ihe 'Southern Forests' region of south - central Tasmania has revealed fundamentally new aspects concerning the Pleistocene archaeological record of Tasmania. Plans by the Tasmanian H}'dro-Electric Commission to dam lhe lower Gordon river system led in the early 1980's to a series of archaeological reconnaissances being carried out in karst outcrops, especially alon…
Reburying Australian skeletons
Dr Webb, as a physical anthropologist working in Australia, is one of the professionals whose work would most directly be affected by reburial of human skeletal remains. He gives here, at the invitation of the editor, his impressions of reburial issues in Australia; the opinions expressed here are strictly his own and may not reflect those of his colleagues
A Bison Antiquus Kill Site, Wacissa River, Jefferson County, Florida
Metric analysis of an excellently preserved Bison skull with horn cores recovered from a northern Florida river identifies the specimen as an evolutionarily late representative of Bison antiquus. A fragment of chert protrudes from the right fronto-parietal area of the skull. Radiocarbon and biostratigraphic dating place the age of the Bison at about 11,000 years, thereby documenting an association between the animal and Paleoindians. It is likely…
Paleo-Indian Procurement of Camelops on the Northwestern Plains
Camelops have been recorded in a number of Paleo-Indian sites that lack evidence of past procurement methods. Recently, two occurrences of Camelops remains have been recorded in Paleo-Indian animal kills in Wyoming. One kill situation was in a Hell Gap cultural context that produced remains of a single Camelops taken along with about 100 bison in a parabolic sand dune trap. The other Camelops was in a Clovis cultural context and deals with a sing…
A Worked Mammoth Bone from Florida
A newly discovered worked mammoth bone is described. It exhibits butchering marks and demonstrates man's contemporaneity in Florida with a late Pleistocene fauna
