“…Those sites that do contain archaeological deposits dating to the Terminal Pleistocene typically reveal discrete hearths and/or low numbers of artefacts, suggesting only ephemeral use of the landscape (e.g. Drual rockshelter, New Guinea II cave, ORS 7, Roof Fall cave) (Ossa et al, 1995;Cosgrove 1996;Bird & Frankel, 1998;Eales et al, 1999). Demographyoriented time-series analyses of radiocarbon dates carried out by Smith et al (2008) and Williams (2013) reinforce this picture.…”

A number of models, developed primarily in the 1980s, propose that Aboriginal Australian populations contracted to refugia -well-watered ranges and major riverine systems -in response to climatic instability, most notably around the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (~23-18ka). We evaluate these models using a comprehensive continent-wide dataset of archaeological radiocarbon ages and geospatial techniques. Calibrated median radiocarbon ages are allocated to over-lapping time slices, and then K-means cluster analysis and cluster centroid and point dispersal pattern analysis are used to define Minimum Bounding Rectangles (MBR) representing human demographic patterns. Exploring data between 25-12ka, we find a refugia-type hunter-gatherer response during the LGM (~23-18ka) and again during the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR) (~14.5-12.5ka), with expansion in the intervening period. Several refugia persist between 25-12ka, including (by Interim Biogeographic

“…To date, the archaeological component of the Gooreng Gooreng Cultural Heritage Project has concentrated on the Cania Gorge area as an inland component of the study, where Aboriginal occupation has been dated to the early Holocene (Chapman 1999(Chapman , 2002Eales 1998;Eales et al 1999;Lilley et al 1998;Westcott 1997;Westcott et al 1999a;Westcott et al 1999b), and the southern Curtis Coast, centred on the Town of Seventeen Seventy, as a coastal component and subject of the present study.…”

“…The project was initiated by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland in collaboration with Aboriginal people from the study area. The broader project includes studies in archaeology, history, contemporary social landscapes and linguistics in a region which coincides with the area broadly identified as the country of Gooreng Gooreng speakers at the time of European invasion (see Clarkson et al n.d.;Jolly 1994;Lilley et al 1998;Lilley and Ulm 1995;Lilley et al 1996;Ulm 2002bUlm , 2002cUlm et al 1999a.To date, the archaeological component of the Gooreng Gooreng Cultural Heritage Project has concentrated on the Cania Gorge area as an inland component of the study, where Aboriginal occupation has been dated to the early Holocene (Chapman 1999(Chapman , 2002Eales 1998;Eales et al 1999;Lilley et al 1998;Westcott 1997;Westcott et al 1999a;Westcott et al 1999b), and the southern Curtis Coast, centred on the Town of Seventeen Seventy, as a coastal component and subject of the present study. …”

terra australis 24Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra AustralisVolume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

THE RESEARCH DOCUMENTED here represents the first systematic archaeological work in this area of the southeast Queensland coast and was undertaken as a major part of a larger, multicomponent project concerning archaeology and cultural heritage in the traditional country of Gooreng Gooreng speaking people. Sean's task was to build upon the results of exploratory site survey and excavation to address two key concerns. The first was the relationship of patterns of cultural change in his study area to those described elsewhere in southeast Queensland. The second was to ensure that any such comparisons were taphonomically well-founded, particularly with regard to the analytical integrity of the shell middens upon which he and other coastal researchers in Australia rely so heavily. Sean took to this task with a vengeance, closely surveying a large area of landscape and excavating an array of site types to provide himself with a solid sample of the archaeological variation thus revealed. Though most were not archaeologically rich, these sites provided substantial grist for Sean's taphonomic mill, prompting him to adapt conjoining techniques to work on bivalve shellfish -a simple but clever innovation -as well as to undertake much more sophisticated work on local variation in correction factors for the radiocarbon dating of marine shell. In the end, he was able to distil the three-phase cul...

<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>
