“…Sandalwood (1801–1814) and bêche-de-mer (1813–1879) were the items most sought by the first commodity traders (Dodge, 1963; Hainsworth, 1967; Munro, 1987; Ram et al, 2016; Scarr, 1984; Thurn and Wharton, 1925), although turtle shell and birds’ nests were other commodities of interest. These commodity traders used accounting to administer their activities and provide accounts of their stewardship to distant providers of capital.…”

This article reviews the development of accounting in Fiji. Although this article mentions the pre-European contact period (before 1800), four key phases during which accounting developments occurred are examined. These are the pre-colonial period (1801–1873), the colonial period (1874–1970), Fiji as a Sovereign State under the 1970 Constitution (1971–1986) and the Fijian Sovereign State following the 1987 coups (1987–2016). In each of these periods, a number of major accounting developments that occurred in the country are reviewed and the players responsible for the developments are identified. Directions for future accounting history research are suggested.

“…It has been observed that Australia's early frontier was not the continental interior but the Pacific, a point neglected by many histories of Australia and New Zealand that emphasize narratives of urban and pastoral expansion. 13 Although Maori society was profoundly transformed as a consequence, and new diseases wreaked some havoc, the resource economy did not require Maori dispossession (even if that had been possible). Most scholars stress Maori adaptation and enthusiasm for a new material order which, however, remained firmly under tribal control and scarcely interrupted customary methods of resource allocation.…”

Curracurrang 1 (1CU5) is a rockshelter site located in the Royal National Park (RNP) on the coast south of Sydney. Excavated from 1962 to 1966, the site's rich Holocene cultural deposit has become important for understanding regional Late Holocene developments in Australian lithic and shell technologies. Our comprehensive analysis of 1CU5's faunal remains is presented here, accompanied by new AMS radiocarbon dates and a reinterpretation of the site's occupation sequence. Much of the midden deposit spans from about 2500 BP to approximately 1850 AD, rather than only the last ∼1500 years as originally believed based on less comprehensive dating. A wide range of terrestrial and marine fauna were exploited at 1CU5, with the relative importance of the latter group increasing within the last ∼1500 years. Greater fish consumption during the later period may relate to use of novel hook and line fishing technology using hooks made from shellfish, but concurrent increases in seals, seabirds and marine invertebrates suggest a broader increased reliance on marine resources. By comparison, the earlier period, which coincides with the manufacture of backed microliths, displays relatively greater reliance on terrestrial marsupials. Taxonomic representation suggests occupation of the shelter from winter through spring, and potentially into summer. Analysis of the 1CU5 fauna marks an important contribution to the understanding of Late Holocene economies at the interface of the greater Sydney and NSW South Coast cultural and biogeographic regions.
