To Have and Have Not
This paper compares sharing behavior in two hunter-gatherer societies, the Western Desert Aborigines of Australia and the Indians of the northwestern coast of California. Contrasts in habitat, reliability, and spatial occurrence of key resources, and other circumstantial differences are used to explain fundamental variations in the nature of sharing of food and access to resources. Predictions are offered about when and under what circumstances o…

The Wreck of the BarqueNorth Carolina, Bermuda, 1880
Archaeological and historical research in 1999-2001 on the loss of the 3-masted, iron barque 'North Carolina' produced a series of anomalies and coincidences suggesting that the ship was sunk intentionally. The wreck lies along the southwest edge of Bermuda's reef system. At first it appeared to be that of a fairly typical sail-propelled, iron-hulled cargo ship of a general type built in the United Kingdom during the late nineteenth century. The …

Residue Analysis and Palaeodiet in Arid Australia
A study of residues and usewear on 49 provenanced and dated whole or fragmentary groundstone implements excavated from Puntutjarpa Rockshelter in Australia's Western Desert suggest that plant processing and seed grinding were important components of Aboriginal diet well before the Mid to Late Holocene. The analysis revealed the presence of starch grains in varying concentrations on the surfaces of all but four of the 49 artefacts dating back to a…

Residue and use-wear analysis of grinding implements from Puntutjarpa Rockshelter in the Western Desert
The excavation of Puntutjarpa Rockshelter, located within the Western Desert Culture Bloc, provided the first complete Holocene sequence for Aboriginal occupation of the arid interior of Australia (Gould 1977). Continuities in artefact sequences at this site were used to typify the conservatism of desert adaptations in Australia generally (Gould 1977:75; 1980:146)

Faunal reduction at Puntutjarpa rockshelter, Warburton Ranges, Western Australia
The Holocene faunal assemblage from Puntutjarpa Rockshelter in the Western Desert has always been problematic owing to the extreme fragmentation of bones and teeth there. This study examines alternative explanations for this fragmentation by looking closely at the Puntutjarpa material and also by controlled comparisons with late Holocene faunal materials from Intitjikula Rockshelter (James Range East), Northern Territory. The results of this anal…
Wooden Ship Building and the Interpretation of Shipwrecks
This guide to wooden boats and ships is intended for use by nautical archaeologists and historians, and those involved in documenting and interpreting the remains of wrecks or abandoned vessels. The first part of the book introduces the discipline and presents basic information on ship and boat and ship construction. Part two investigates ancient, medieval, and postmedieval shipwrecks in turn, and represents a cross section of shipbuilding techno…
News and Short Contributions
Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) was identified as the main constituent of Trent sand, a naturally-occurring abrasive that until the last few years was traditionally employed in the Birmingham (England) Jewellery Quarter for buffing metal. Since chalcopyrite is one of the chief ores of copper and has not heretofore been identified in an abrasive, the possibility exists that excavated particulate chalcopyrite used as a polishing material may be misinterprete…

The Lithic Assemblage of the Western Desert Aborigines of Australia
Statistical and microscopic studies of ethnographic Australian Aboriginal stone tools reveal patterns which correlate significantly with the known uses, techniques of manufacture, and native classification of these tools. Statistically, the most significant correlation occurs between the angle of the working edge of the tool and the classification and function of the tool. Steep-edge flakes are classified as purpunpa and serve as woodworking scra…
Lithic Procurement in Central Australia
Field surveys of lithic sites in Central Australia and experimental tests of materials from these sites permit evaluation of Binford's (1979) concept of embeddedness. While basically agreeing with Binford's view that raw material procurement by mobile hunter-gatherers occurred incidentally in relation to other subsistence activities, our results indicate that Binford's argument cannot account for patterning in raw material procurement based on th…

The Anthropology of Human Residues
Ethnoarchaeology is a new kind of anthropology-the anthropology of human residue formation. Since discard behavior and residue formation, like language, are universal human characteristics, their patterning can be studied in a manner akin to grammar in languages. Consistent observed relationships between human behavior and material residues in contemporary societies may be posited as propositions for cross-cultural testing and comparison with pre…

Archaeology
Brian Hayden offers a fresh approach to the study of archaeology at an introductory level. In archaeology he sets out a broad overview of the subject emphasizing the most interesting problems and conclusions. His approach is to shows how the world works from an archaeological perspective. He teaches students how to develop the conceptual tools of archaeology, how to examine the many specific eras in prehistory and sites to demonstrate how archaeo…

Alterations of in vivo elemental dietary signatures in archaeological bone
Thermogravimetric and multi‐element analyses of archaeological human rib and modem mammal controls from the lower Murray River region of South Australia indicate that magnesium, strontium, and barium concentrations in the archaeological bone have been altered significantly by post‐mortem chemical reactions in the burial environment. Ionic exchanges between soil solution and buried bone resulted in lower bone magnesium concentrations and higher bo…

Seagoing Canoes among the Indians of Northwestern California
Although there is a considerable ethnographic literature on the Indians of the northwest California coast, almost no mention has ever been made of the existence of seagoing canoes from this part of the world. Moreover, whenever the suggestion was made that such canoes did indeed exist in this region, it was regarded as an exaggeration and received the extreme skepticism of such important workers in the region as Kroeber and Loud. Thus the presenc…
Diggers and Doggers
The histories of economic acculturation of the Western Desert Aborigines of Australia and the Numic-speaking Indians of the Great Basin of North America are compared in a manner similar to that utilized by Murphy and Steward (1955) in their study of Northeastern Algonkians and the Mundurucú of South America. Numerous and specific parallels in economic and social change are noted, leading to the conclusion that both of these desert hunting-and-gat…
