Worshiping the North: Early Chinese Temples in Mainland Tropical Australia
A Grave Situation: Burial Practices among the Chinese Diaspora in Queensland, Australia (ca.1870–1930)
Many nineteenth-century Chinese migrants to Pacific Rim countries died far from their home villages. Diverse approaches were adopted to mark graves, possibly anticipating the subsequent, culturally important, repatriation of their bones. This paper evaluates the morphology of grave markers from eight northeast Australian sites and considers reasons for the variations. Physical appraisal of each site was undertaken and, where they exist, cemetery …
Attributes, preservation and management of dendroglyphs from the Wet Tropics rainforest of northeast Australia
This paper describes the attributes, preservation and management of Aboriginal dendroglyphs in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area of northeast Australia, the only known dendroglyphs recorded in a tropical rainforest environment worldwide. Our research identifies that dendroglyphs are usually single trees with abstract linear or figurative designs carved into their outer bark and are often associated with Aboriginal walking tracks and other cultu…
The historical archaeology of the Chinese in Far North Queensland
The first Overseas Chinese immigrants to Far North Queensland (FNQ) arrived in 1868 and within 20 years had established a wide range of settlements keyed directly into Chinese merchant supply networks. Historical archaeology on some of these sites has been carried out since the mid-1980s, but has largely been consultancy-driven, creating data that are patchy, skewed towards urban centres and often non-comparable. Such comparisons as can be drawn …
Managing Small Heritage Sites with Interpretation and Community Involvement
In heritage site management, there is often a strong reliance on preservation, sometimes to the exclusion of contemporary use.The result is a tendency to remove heritage sites from the experience of the community who 'owns' the heritage. At the site level, heritage management does not always use the full range of available tools; largely because of the emphasis on preservation. Case studies from rural Queensland, Australia, show that even relativ…
Balancing use and preservation in cultural heritage management
The management of cultural heritage places is compared with natural area management. Differences stem from the disciplines of the managers, and that cultural heritage resources are non‐renewable. In the conservation of cultural resources there is a strong reliance on preservation, and the exclusion of activities which may reduce heritage value. This results in a tendency to remove heritage sites and items from the experience of the community whic…
Moulding and casting Aboriginal carved trees
The documentation, conservation and interpretation of isolated cultural heritage sites present diverse challenges. In the wet tropics of northeast Australia these challenges are exacerbated by adverse climatic conditions. Â Organic materials suffer severely in such conditions. Aboriginal carved trees of the wet tropics are little known resources of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area extending north from Townsville to just south of …
