Ancient apocalypse now
Generative AI (GenAI) and misinformation online have the potential to cause harm to Indigenous cultural knowledge advancement and truth-telling endeavours. Indigenous archaeologies in Australia and the Pacific Islands are no strangers to misinformation produced from pseudoarchaeology or fringe narratives; however, the new potential threats posed by GenAI in (re)popularising false histories and the loss of scientific and Indigenous authority are o…
Beyond stone
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century archaeological studies of stone artefacts in Australia were part of colonial pursuits that categorized Aboriginal people as ‘stone-age’. This paper examines the history of archaeology in Australia to expose and expel such negative portrayals and focuses on changing narratives which centre on Indigenous communities working with researchers to revisit archaeological collections with new approaches. Such work began…
Geochemical evidence of cultural continuity in lithic procurement from the Late Pleistocene to recent Holocene at Nombe rockshelter, Highland Papua New Guinea
Despite the central role of lithic analysis within Highland Papua New Guinean archaeology, geochemical characterisation studies are deeply underutilised in the region, especially where Pleistocene and informally flaked assemblages are concerned. This paper presents the geochemical characterisation of the flaked volcanic assemblage and an edge-ground axe from the stratified Nombe site in the Papua New Guinea highlands (25,500 cal BP – present), es…
Why wait until it’s too late? A precautionary tale for Indigenous cultural heritage protection in Australia
Duff's adze typology versus Polynesian adze exchanges
The inter‐archipelago exchange of adzes after colonisation was not considered in the widely referred to culture historical Polynesian adze typology developed by New Zealand archaeologist, Roger Duff. This portable x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) geochemical study re‐examined the assemblage of the adzes in museum collections that were classified into Duff Types by archaeologists Gonzalo Figueroa and Eduardo Sanchez. This paper investigates the geochemic…
Realising the potential of portable XRF for the geochemical classification of volcanic rock types
Origins of Archaeology in the Pacific
When was archaeology first practised in the Pacific as a distinct discipline – that is, following a prescribed set of field methods to investigate human change over time, different from those used for other areas such as ethnology, geology, or linguistics? Did Pacific archaeology develop as the application of a metropolitan model, or did it evolve in situ, progressing in fits and starts and communicated only sporadically? We approach these questi…
The Cranebrook Terrace revisited
We present the results of a compliance-based excavation on the banks of Peach Tree Creek within the alluvial margin of the Nepean River, Penrith, NSW. The excavations consisted of (i) two mechanically excavated trenches (3 × 1 m) in controlled 20 cm spits to depths of 4 m below surface, and (ii) a subsequent stage of manual salvage excavation (6 m2) focussing on the artefact-bearing levels indicated by the testing phase. The excavations identifie…
Notes and Queries on Anthropology
Instructions for travellers on the collection of archaeological objects were published in the first 1874 edition of Notes and Queries on Anthropology. The archives of the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the British Museum were searched to investigate what influence Notes and Queries on Anthropology had on pioneering field archaeologists in the Pacific at the turn of the 20th century, and how this contributed t…
Tuberculosis in a Refugee Camp
In November 1985, tuberculosis was highly prevalent among the 6,250 Tigrayan refugees ofFau I camp in Eastern Sudan. It was therefore decided to launch an active case-finding campaign aimed at decreasing transmission, to be carried out by primary health care workers. The entire population of the camp was screened for symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis and the sputum of people with productive cough was examined by direct microscopy. However, it wa…
