25.01.2022 An update on Aboriginal and heritage in WA from the Koori Mail - thanks Stu Rapley for sending this to us to post out

25.01.2022 Archaeologists have dated a leg bone discovered in northern England to 10,000 years ago, making it the oldest human remains in that part of the country.

24.01.2022 The UWA archaeology seminar this week is presented by Dr Lachy Paterson on 'Te Iwi Mori me te Pukapuka: Indigenous Engagement with Textual Cultures.' Social S...ciences Lecture Room 1. 4-5pm, Thursday 29th August Abstract Once the orthography for te reo Mori was established in 1820, Mori became exposed to the technology and practice of reading and writing. Certainly the impact of literacy on an indigenous oral society can be immense. Missionaries introduced both writing and print culture simultaneously as part of a wider effort to convert Mori to Christianity and European notions of civilization. After British annexation of New Zealand in 1840, officials also utilized print to improve Mori, and to induce them to accept the rule of law and governmental authority. However, the effect of any tool is generally determined by whom it is wielded. Despite literacy and textual cultures being heavily implicated in colonial practice, Mori were hardly passive consumers of texts. This seminar discusses how Mori engaged in writing manuscripts, in the consumption of European-produced print, as well as in the production of their own printed materials for their own purposes, as a means to both accommodate and resist colonization. This seminar also seeks to place Mori engagement with textual cultures within the wider experiences of indigenous peoples elsewhere during the colonial period.

19.01.2022 Very sad news about the passing of Mick Aston!

18.01.2022 For those interested in learning about human evolution, a free online course is being offered next year (january 2014) through the university of Wisconsin. https://www.coursera.org/course/humanevolution

17.01.2022 UWA seminar presented by Tom Whitley, Down the Garden Path: Experiments in Spatially Modeling Palaeoeconomy

17.01.2022 This would be such an amazing sight! Via- AAA

16.01.2022 Something else to read on your wet, Thursday morning. This time from our own backyard. (Via AAA)

16.01.2022 And this is what you look like afterwards!!!

15.01.2022 http://mobile.news.com.au//hu/story-fnii5s3x-1226672230477 Would be interesting to see what further analysis uncovers on the dating of this skull found in a river in NSW. Is it an early explorer predating Cook?

15.01.2022 Happy 100th birthday, Hackett Hall! See how it's transformed from the old State Library of Western Australia reading room in 1913 to today: http://museum.wa.gov.au//celebrating-100-years-hackett-hall

15.01.2022 UWA Seminar this week presented by Dr Leslie Zubieta on 'Learning for Images: Chinamwali Girls' Initiation Rock Art in South-Central Africa.' In Social Science...s Lecture Room 1 from 4-5pm on Thursday 22 August. Dr Zubieta will discuss a particular white painted tradition in south-central Africa (Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique) linked to the Chewa matrilineal group. She will show how women employed these images, probably as recently as in the last century, to communicate important lessons within the girls’ initiation ceremony known as Chinamwali. This ceremony still takes place in the area today but the tradition of rock painting has ceased.

13.01.2022 Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there!

13.01.2022 I realise that it's been quite a while since there has been a new post on this page. A reflection on the present state of the industry. On the bright side we are battling through and looking forward to a busy 2016

13.01.2022 Neuroscientists measured blood flow in the brains of expert stone-tool makers as they fashioned Paleolithic hand axes and found the flint-knappers were using the same parts of the brain that are activated by speech. That could mean tool-making and language evolved together.

12.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we have recently learned of the passing of Professor Mike Morwood, who lost his fight with Cancer. Mike was a well respected Archaeologist, known best for his discovery of Homo floresiensis, 'the Hobbit'. Our deepest sympathies are with his family, friends and colleagues at this time.

11.01.2022 If anyone is around in Perth tomorrow with a bit of free time up their sleeves, there are two seminars being held which would be really interesting to see. The first is being held at the State Library of WA and will be talking about ongoing archaeological field work at Tell Timai, the location of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Thmouis, one of Alexander the Great’s administrative centres in the Nile Delta. http://museum.wa.gov.au//change-adaptation-and-destruction The secon...d discusses recent archaeological discoveries in coastal Georgia (USA) concerning 16th Century French and Spanish explorations and the demise of the Timucuans through conflict and disease. http://museum.wa.gov.au//when-worlds-collide-archaeology-e Bookings for both talks are essential! The State Library Seminar is free and the 16th Century Georgia Seminar is only $12

11.01.2022 Thanks AAA for sharing this post. An article on Aboriginal students carving their way through the rigours of an Oxford education. No mean feat for any student. http://m.guardian.co.uk//indigenous-australian-oxford-stud

10.01.2022 Forthcoming Event: Archaeology Seminar.Social Sciences Lecture Room 1 4-5pm, Thursday 12th September 2013 By: Andrew Cooper PhD Candidate, Archaeology... School of Social Sciences, University of Western Australia Space and Place: Using Geographical Information Systems to Assess Theories of Late Holocene Economic Landscape Use in the Eastern Hamersley Ranges of Western Australia The current paradigm of arid zone landscape use in Australia during the late Holocene focuses on the opportunistic exploitation of ephemeral resources by flexibly sized social groups. This generalized model of landscape use has been adapted to explain human behaviour patterns in a wide variety of different ecological zones. I argue that further refinement of this generalized theory is possible on a regional scale and intend to illustrate this through innovative use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model landscape use from an ecological perspective. By quantifying the habitats of economically important species, I intend to spatially depict places of energy exchange in the landscape that do not necessarily manifest in the archaeological record. This will enable the elaboration of information available for an area lacking in other more traditional information sources. The Ideal marriage between GIS and archaeology envisaged more than 20 years ago remains unrealised in an Australian context. Of the uses to which GIS can be put in archaeology, until recently only questions of where have been addressed in Australia rather than using GIS as a tool to explain questions of why and how. By spatially articulating idealized notions of landscape use from Optimal Forager Theory and Human Behavioural Ecology I intend to investigate the contrast between the ideal and the real as observed in the archaeological record. This will highlight cultural behaviours and practices that have not been accessible in other ways. Using this approach, the whole, will indeed, be more than the sum of its constituent parts.

08.01.2022 It's national archaeology week and there is plenty planned! Check out the following link for a program of events, especially some of the talks at UWA! https://www.dropbox.com//UWA_Archaeology_Nat_Arch_Week_Pro

07.01.2022 The search for offshore occupation in the Pilbarra, specifically on Barrow Island, heats up with Peter Veth planning to survey the island this June. This should be very exciting! http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com.au//australias-

06.01.2022 Amazing discoveries at the Jamestown excavations in America. Not only are they adding weight to historical reports of starvation and cannibalism within the struggling colony, but the facial reconstruction makes you realise that these were ordinary men, women and even children like us who were forced into gruesome but necessary measures to survive. http://news.ninemsn.com.au//proof-north-america-settlers-c

02.01.2022 Archaeologists have discovered that the Faroe Islands, which are about halfway between Norway and Iceland, were not first colonized by the Vikings in the 9th ce...ntury A.D. as had been previously thought, but were instead the home of an unknown people who reached the archipelago some 400 years earlier. http://archaeology.org//1228-130820-faroe-islands-vikings-
