WA’s heritage laws are failing—and it’s a national problem
Late Pleistocene scaphopod beads from Boodie Cave and deep time traditions of personal ornamentation in northwest Australia
Tubular segments of Scaphopoda (tusk shell) were traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples in the manufacture of ornate bead necklaces across northwest Australia. Twenty-seven scaphopod shell beads were recovered from Boodie Cave on Barrow Island dating to between 13,500 and 10,600 cal BP. We compare the Boodie Cave bead assemblage to historical necklace collections as well as experimental studies on scaphopod blanks to characterise bead manufactu…
A comparative study of early shell knife production using archaeological, experimental and ethnographic datasets
We investigate archaeological evidence for the early production of Melo (or commonly named 'baler') shell knives recovered from Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene deposits in Boodie Cave, Barrow Island. The site is in the Country of Thalanyji people in northwestern Western Australia. The oldest shell knife fragments were recovered from units dated to 46.2–42.6 ka, making this one of the oldest Homo sapiens sapiens shell tool technologies current…
A comment on Ward et al.’s ‘Insights into the procurement and distribution of fossiliferous chert artefacts across Southern Australia from the archival record’
The presence of artefacts made from fossiliferous chert in the Perth metropolitan area and broader Swan Coastal Plain, extending from Geraldton to Dunsborough (Figure 1), has been an enigma for mor

Tracing pathways
TheAboriginal Heritage Act 1972(WA) uniquely placed Aboriginal perspectives at the heart of assessing significance and protecting Aboriginal places, alongside “historical, anthropological, archaeological and ethnographic” interests. In practice, however, archaeological and anthropological assessments have been routinely separated in development surveys. A narrow “scientific” paradigm has come to provide the overarching model for significance asse…
Coastal occupation before the “Big Swamp
In this paper, we present a terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene archaeological record from John Wayne Country Rockshelter (JWCR), located on Barrow Island in north‐western Australia. The rock shelter was used between 15000 and 7000 calBP, and provides insights into how Aboriginal people interacted with a changing coastal landscape throughout postglacial sea‐level rise. The faunal record reflects this fluctuating local landscape. The late Pleistoc…
Early human occupation of a maritime desert, Barrow Island, North-West Australia
Years of archaeological site stratigraphy and micromorphology in Boodie Cave, Barrow Island, Western Australia
Reflections on CB08-500
This paper reflects on two narratives about CB08-500, a rock shelter in the inland Pilbara region of Western Australia. The conventional archaeological account emphasises the recent date of the site and its similarity to other sites in the region. The alternative account was developed for inclusion in a community book about sites in Nyiyaparli country. This imagines a vignette of past activity at the site and speculates about its connection to re…
Maritime deserts of the Australian northwest
This paper reports on the first season of work on the Barrow Island Archaeology Project. It contextualises new findings within a review of what is now known of the archaeology of the Carnarvon bioregion. A reliance on coastal resources for over 42,000 years is indicated from excavations and open sites from Cape Range, the Montebello Islands, the Onslow coastline and Barrow Island. The continuous use of marine resources, blended with largely arid …
A tale of two blades
The manufacture and distribution of macro‐blades in the Paraburdoo area of south central Pilbara is described and its relation to theories regarding their intended use discussed. The Pilbara evidence is compared to that from elsewhere in northern Australia
A Note on Radiocarbon Dates from the Paraburdoo, Mount Brockman and Yandicoogina Areas of the Hamersley Plateau, Pilbara, Western Australia
Excavations have been carried out at a number of rockshelters in the Pilbara region of Western Australia as part of mitigative salvage work and research supported by Hamersley Iron Pty Ltd. The excavations commenced in 1998 and are ongoing. At all times, the work was conducted with participation of and supervision from the relevant Aboriginal people. These people are the Innawonga in the Paraburdoo area, the Gurama in the Mount Brockman area and …
