Echoes of the Past
Subfossil trees in growth position and their associated organic sediments serve as valuable archives of past ecologies, shedding light on coastal forest responses to post-Glacial sea-level rise. This paper offers an overview of the significance of drowned forests as both ecological and cultural records, with particular emphasis on Australian Indigenous connections to these landscapes. Indigenous use of and cultural connections to coastal trees an…
Remnant peat deposit provides clues to the inundated cultural landscapes of Kepa Kurl, southwestern Australia
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…
Impact of bushfires on seabird breeding islands in southwest Australia
Human observations of late Quaternary coastal change
The value of contemporary social significance in archaeological assessment and its implications for current legislative reform
This paper presents a case study of an Aboriginal heritage assessment conducted with the Esperance Nyungars in southern Western Australia. The study incorporates contemporary social significance with archaeological assessment to form a holistic cultural significance statement for the landscapes surrounding the Munglinup River. The results are analysed with reference to the currently proposed legislative reform of the Western Australian Aboriginal…
Empowering Tribal Youth in Cultural Heritage Management
Human Niche Construction
Through a lens of Human Niche Construction theory, we examine Noongar (an indigenous people of south Western Australia) relationships with southWestern Australian flora and suggest influences of these relationships on contemporary botanical patterns in this global biodiversity hotspot. By conducting a review of historical and contemporary literature and drawing upon the contemporary knowledge of Noongar Elders, we examine the merits of five key h…
Compliance-based archaeological heritage management and place-based participatory mapping for negotiated outcomes
This paper examines how place-based participatory mapping in a commercial context creates a framework for negotiated outcomes in the protection and management of cultural heritage. The analysis presents a critical reflection on two case studies from southwest Western Australia, with particular focus on how the work was undertaken in a commercial context, and the contrasting outcomes between the case studies. The approach directly addresses many o…
Towards an Evaluation-Based Framework of Collaborative Archaeology
Collaborative archaeology is a growing field within the discipline, albeit one that is rarely analyzed. Although collaborative approaches are varied and diverse, we argue that they can all share a single methodological framework. Moreover, we suggest that collaborative archaeology projects can be evaluated to determine the variety among projects and to identify the elements of engaged research. We provide two case studies emphasizing project eval…
Towards Sustainable Community Heritage Management and the Role of Archaeology
This paper explores the challenges and positive outcomes of collaborative heritage management programs that maintain a focus on customary protocols and community priorities. A holistic approach to cultural heritage management has developed over time in the Esperance region of Western Australia, which situates the local Traditional Owner community at the center of heritage management. The established structure fosters a community-based approach to…
A Structure And Process For ‘Working Beyond The Site’ In A Commercial Context
This paper examines the benefits of collaborative Indigenous archaeologies embedded through all phases of a commercial archaeology project. A community-based structure ensures a multifaceted level of investigation without demanding any additional resources upon the client, and a place-based approach to documenting and incorporating the range of values associated with archaeological heritage delivers multiple, positive outcomes. The paper outlines…
Integrating Natural Resource Management and Indigenous Cultural Heritage
Socializing stone artifact assemblages
During the late Holocene in northern Queensland, Australia, a process of increasing regionalization appears to have resulted in a decline in the access to raw material sources, and as a result, an increase in the concern for the conservation of raw material has occurred at certain sites. This pattern suggests that socio-demographic processes are the primary agent affecting variation in stone artifact assemblages. Moreover, it suggests that tradit…
A Model for the Pueblo I Settlement of the Elk Ridge Region, Southeast Utah
The goal of this paper is to contribute to an understanding of the diversity of settlement patterns during the Pueblo I period (ca. A.D. 750-900) of the northern San Juan drainage. The analysis of surface data from a number of sites located on the upland environment of Elk Ridge, in southeast Utah, documents a seasonal settlement pattern focused on communal agriculture and storage of surpluses. The attempt to farm this high altitude environment t…
