The Queensland Museum Expedition to Ngiangu (Booby Island)
In 1985 and 1990 a Queensland Museum research team visited the island of Ngiangu (Booby Island) to carry out investigations into the island's Indigenous and non-Indigenous archaeology. Forming the western boundary of Kaurareg traditional country, this small rocky island is an integral part of Kaurareg identity, and is well-known in maritime archaeology circles as a haven for European mariners shipwrecked while transiting the Strait. The research …
The antics of ants
During salvage excavations of an Aboriginal shell midden at Hollywell, on the Gold Coast of Queensland, ant activity was noted as a contributor to both bioturbation, and to the introduction of modern material, including metal fragments, plastic, nylon fishing line and cotton thread into the deposit. This material was found at depths of up to 400 mm and adjacent to excavation units with shells with a calibrated age of 1050–900 BP. These observatio…
A report on archaeological investigation of open hearth sites in southwest Queensland
This paper presents the results of test excavations on nine open hearth sites in the vicinity of the Currawinya Lakes, southwest Queensland. The hearths were all surface features constructed from silcrete cobbles, lumps of hardpan or a combination of both. The ages of six dated hearths ranged from c.1700 BP to c.400 BP. This research demonstrates the potential for hearths to contribute to regioinal archaeological studies in Australia
What Curators Are Not Paid For
The article presents the debate that started when Sandra Bowdler commented on the article written by Richard Robins regarding the Queensland Museum's policy. The various misconception that the author thinks were presented by Bowdler and the various arguments supporting the same are all discussed
A Recent Phase of Aboriginal Occupation in Lawn Hill Gorge
The use of ethnography in Australian archaeology has become an accepted device for the formulation of arguments to assist archaeological interpretation. The 'ethnographic background' forms a chapter for almost every archaeological thesis and many of the articles produced in the Australian archaeological 'trade journals' relate archaeology to ethnography in some way. One interesting and paradoxical aspect of Australian archaeology is the overwhelm…
The Protection and Preservation of Archaeological Collections
There is a popular public myth that museums contain basements with insatiable appetites. Once an item enters the doors of a museum it is consumed by the basement, never to see the light of day. To researchers who have tried to find items in, or information about, collections or who have ever attempted to relocate items they have deposited in collections there may seem to be an element of truth to this myth (e.g. Sturtevant 1969). Until recently m…

The excavation of three archaeological sites on Moreton Island
The three sites reported herein were excavated in 1980 as part of more detailed examination of sites found during an archaeological survey of Moreton Island in 1979 (Robins 1983, also this volume). Two of them are at First Ridge on the northeastern side and the other is located in the Little Sandhills in the southwestern coast. They were excavated for three reasons. First, as they were originally identified as small piles of shell, a site type no…
A working model of Moreton Island prehistory
The Moreton Region Archaeological Project (MRAP) was conceived in mid-1977 through a union of a lecturer new to Australia (HJH), a corpus of archaeological and historical information about the Brisbane area, and a small band of keen University of Queensland undergraduate archaeology students who had been meeting informally as a discussion group for the previous year. However, it was not until 1979 when MRAP received a generous input of funds from…
The results of a preliminary archaeological survey of Moreton Island
A preliminary survey of the Moreton Island was undertaken as part of a larger research framework designed to examine the feasibility of using problem-oriented research projects as a basis for the assessment of significance of the archaeological resource in the Queensland context and to suggest ways in which such research might be conducted within the present structure of Queensland Public Archaeology. Moreton Island was chosen as a staging ground…
Four Aboriginal Dwelling Sites in Southwest Queensland
The article provides details of four Aboriginal dwelling sites in Southwest Queensland which were found during fieldwork. The sites contain a total of ten structures. The aim of this work was only to locate and describe sites
