Index of Dates from Archaeological Sites in Queensland

Abstract

<p>This volume presents an indexed compilation of chronometric determinations obtained from archaeological sites in the state of Queensland (including Torres Strait), Australia, to the end of 2000. The list includes conventional radiocarbon (14C), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), thermoluminescence (TL) and optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) determinations. In total, 849 dates are listed from 258 sites. This listing is intended as a reference work only and no analysis of the dataset is undertaken in this volume.</p>

The Genetic Speciation of Archaeological Fish Bone: A Feasibility Study from Southeast Queensland

“…The matrix varied from light brown-grey or brown-yellow sand to dark brown humic soil and its pH was 6.0-7.0, with the highest values towards the base of the deposit. Ten radiocarbon dates indicate occupation over the past 3,000 years (Ulm and Reid 2000). The recovered cultural material includes shellfish remains dominated by mud ark (Anadara trapezia) and oyster (Saccostrea glomerata), stone artefacts and small quantities of fish bone.…”

“…Numerous fish vertebrae were recovered along with turtle carapace fragments and stone artefacts. Twelve radiocarbon indicate first occupation shortly before c.3,300 cal BP and apparent abandonment about 1,900 years ago (Ulm and Reid 2000). Sediments were gently dry sieved through 3mm mesh and material from Squares C and D was manually sorted prior to wet sieving in order to remove fish vertebral components for DNA analysis.…”

Reassessing Marine Fishery Intensification in Southeast Queensland

“…Haglund (1976) excavated a total of 228m 2 at the site. Eight radiocarbon dates bracket use of the site from 1,390 ± 100 BP (ANU-68/2, charcoal) to 50 ± 86 BP (V-161, charcoal) (Ulm and Reid 2000). As the excavation was focussed on obtaining Aboriginal skeletal material for comparative anatomical studies (e.g.…”

“…For charcoal dates, 24 years were subtracted before calibration to correct for 14 C variation between northern and southern hemispheres (after Stuiver and Reimer 1993). Calibrated ages for other conventional radiocarbon ages may be found in Ulm and Reid (2000). For a discussion of regional marine reservoir issues see Ulm (2002aUlm ( , 2002b.…”

Diversidade craniana humana e suas implicações evolutivas

“…A primeira ação deste protocolo consistiu na conferência, indivíduo a indivíduo de todos os espécimes para evitar que ocorresse a inclusão de dados repetidos. Ainda assim, em alguns casos, a busca por informações mostrou-se infrutífera e foi necessário complementá-la através de consultas a artigos relacionados, mapas geográficos e históricos, livros de divulgação científica e sítios de internet com informações sobre as populações e regiões de interesse (Vilanova, 1875;Taylor, 1890;Kitson, 1931;Russell, 1965;Lourandos, 1968;Rightmire, 1970;Howells, 1973Howells, , 1995Neel et al, 1977;Lewis, 1983;Young, 1986;Londoño, 1988;Collis, 1990;Steadman & Kirch, 1990;Drake, 1991;Biddle & Kjølbye-Biddle, 1992;Lampert & Steele, 1993;Hanihara, 1993aHanihara, , 1993bHanihara, , 1996Hanihara, , 2000Parker, 1995;Harrington, 1996;Neves et al, 1999;Simielli, 2000;Sayavongkhamdy et al, 2000;O'Rourke et al, 2000;Ulm & Reid, 2000;Comrie, 2002;Kidd et al, 2003;Morey et al, 2002;Atuí, 2005;Viet, 2005;González-José et al, 2006;Coltrain et al, 2006;Owen et al, 2006;Manica et al, 2007;Martinez & Martinez, 2007;…”
