Gone to the Dogs
This is a study of bone discard at a contemporary archaeological site. It assesses the accumulation of bones in the face of destruction by scavenging animals. Three per cent by numbers and two per cent by weight of discarded bones survived to be collected in a six month study period. It is suggested that patterns of scattering by scavengers may help in the interpretation of prehistoric sites, and in particular may allow the prediction of attritio…
Pleistocene hominoid dental variation in Vietnam
Vietnam Zippos
This paper describes Zippo cigarette lighters collected in Vietnam. Though they are objects of contemporary material culture, these artefacts derive from the Vietnam War era. They have hitherto been absent from the anthropological literature of material culture studies. Inscriptions engraved on behalf of former owners give insights into the attitudes and feelings of soldiers from that time in that place. The social lives of these Zippos have move…

Seasonality of fishing in south-east Queensland
Seasonality determinations by growth ring analysis are provided for 112 marine fish vertebrae excavated from late Holocene archaeological sites in coastal south-east Queensland. These indicate that fishing was undertaken throughout the year. It is concluded that models of Late Holocene subsistence and settlement in this region which rely on an assumption of winter dominance in marine fish harvesting must be rejected. This has implications for…
Antiquity of marine fishing in South-east Queensland
The Moreton Region Archaeology Project has investigated coastal sites in South-east Queensland since the late 1970s. Despite Pleistocene occupation in the area adjacent to the then coastline, and more recent coastal settlement dating to the later Middle Holocene, evidence of a well developed marine fishery dates only to the most recent 2,000 years. According to the data presently available, this does not appear to relate to taphonomic factors

Intensified fishery production at Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland, in the late Holocene
As the great antiquity of human settlement in Australia becomes clear, so does the distinctive character of human adaptation in the continent. In particular, the Holocene transformation of the Australian climate led to patterns of human ecology with some characteristics of their own, and some common to regions where the Holocene changes led on to agricultural societies. Here is a case-study in that Australian history
Fish Hooks
This paper considers two implications of the known distribution and use of Aboriginal fish hooks: their Holocene origins, and the mechanisms and motives for their adoption. To examine the first, information is presented from archaeological and historical sources elaborating earlier views of fish hook origins on this continent. The second aim arises from two important papers dealing with the social relations of production in Aboriginal Australia (…

Hope Island
This paper reports the salvage excavations of a shell midden at Hope Island, Gold Coast City, southeast Queensland. Archaeological investigations were carried out in the Gold Coast region during the late 1960s and early 1970s (e.g. Haglund-Calley and Quinnell 1973; Haglund 1975, 1976), but as academic input into the area waned it became something of a folk theory in the mainstream Anglo-Saxon community that nothing worthwhile in the way of archae…
Current research
I took up an appointment as Lecturer in Anthropology at University College of the Northern Territory from the beginning of the 1988 academic year. University College offers B.A. and B. Sc. Degrees, as well as masters and Ph.D qualifications. Undergraduate subjects and post-graduate study programs follow the University of Queensland curriculum, and degrees will initially be University of Queensland degrees, with an appropriate annotation showing t…
The Toorbul Point Aboriginal fish trap
One of the most intriguing problems for archaeologists concerns the numbers of Australian people living as fisher-gatherer-hunters per unit area of the continent prior to the European invasion. Were population densities related to the productive capacity of landscape and seascape, or to aspects of technology and material culture, or to the manner of organization of the social relations or production (Jones 1977:202, 1985:293
Some observations on the material culture of Aboriginal fishing in the Moreton Bay area
Assessments of suites of material culture items have often been used to characterize various aspects of human behaviour and cultural development. This has particularly been the case with regard to assessments of prehistoric fisheries (e.g. Anell 1955, Reinman 1967, Kirch 1982, Colley 1983:4-7). This paper presents some observations on the material culture of Aboriginal fishing in and around Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland, which derive from wri…

Colonisation of a Model Island Continent - Australian Implications
The author examines colonisation of a model island continent to study when did people first arrive on the continent, who were they, what was the nature of their economic adaptation to the ecological conditions found there was what was their own impact on the environment
How Many Faunal Taxa are There in a Well Sampled Site
The author takes up the recovery and identification side of the faunal question to address the question of how many taxa can be expected to be found in an archaeological site
Vertebrate Remains from Two Sites on Moreton Island, Queensland
Vertebrate remains from two sites on Moreton Island, Queensland, are examined. Fish remains, particularly of the Family Sparidae, are found to dominate. However constraints of preservation and recovery suggest caution in inference
