24.01.2022 More interesting archaeology coming out of Cross River Rail's project at Albert Street. "Most of the tenants in it were Chinese businesses, but there were also European and British businesses, and South Sea Islanders working and living in the area as well," says Dr Kevin Rains at Niche. https://www.abc.net.au//brisbane-red-light-distr/12384306

22.01.2022 Answer: Of course there is! Australia is rich in archaeology, with human occupation dating back to ~65,000 years ago. Indigenous archaeology in Australia is unique, from complex stone tool technologies, to rock art, to extensive, world-heritage listed aquaculture systems over 40,000 years old! The post-contact heritage of Australia is equally archaeologically abundant, with exciting historical features constantly being unearthed (like this exciting find by our own team just last month! shorturl.at/ozCG0). The increasing inter-disciplinary nature of archaeology has only seen our understanding of Australian archaeology grow, increasing and changing our understanding of Australia’s past. #askanarchaeologist #archaeology #australianarchaeology

17.01.2022 As archaeologists, we frequently get asked What is Archaeology? Answer: Archaeology is the study of human history through material culture. Archaeology is an interdisciplinary study, incorporating several methodologies that greatly deepen our understanding of past human activity. These sub-fields of archaeology today focus on multiple aspects of human interactions with their past environment(s), including: Archaeobotany (human-plant interactions)... Zooarchaeology (human-animal interactions) Geoarchaeology (culturally modified sediments) Landscape archaeology (sites and mobility in the wider geographical landscape) Maritime archaeology (submerged sites) Paleopathology (ancient human diseases) If you have any questions about Australian Archaeology, let us know through the comments or message us directly. #AskAnArchaeologist #Archaeology #AustralianArchaeology

16.01.2022 Everick values the safety of our employees and the people we work with. During this time of uncertainty with COVID-19, we have decided to prioritise the safety of those who have signed up for our field school in by postponing it until winter 2021. We are regretful that we could not host such an opportunity to train budding archaeologists this year. However, we feel it is best for all individuals involved to stay safe and follow the direction of the Australian and State Governments and there is always next year when our Everick team and archaeology enthusiasts are more likely to be able to participate to the fullest extent.

15.01.2022 #FridayFind - Udolpho Wolfe Gin Bottle Biography! This bottle is of green glass and embossed UDOLPHO WOLFE’SW/SCHIEDAM/AROMATIC SCHNAPPS. The company founder, Udolpho Wolfe, was born in Richmond Virginia. Wolfe moved to New York in 1825 and became a prominent and respected merchant in the importation of wines and liquors. In 1848 he established his brand, trading as Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps.... Although labelled as schnapps, the bottle contained gin that was flavoured with juniper berries. The gin was produced in Udolpho Wolfe’s own distilleries in Schiedam, South Holland. Wolfe marketed his product as a ‘cure all tonic’. The product was targeted as a ‘superlative Tonic, Diuretic, Anti-Dyspepsia and invigorating Cordial’ (Melbourne Argus, 17th of January 1859: p7). While the product was manufactured in Holland, the operations centred on the New York office and warehouse where they stored an inventory of up to 20,000 cases to supply global demand. Two years after Udolpho Wolfe’s death in 1870 the company was restructured and renamed to Udolpho Wolfe and Co. when Wolfe’s brother-in-law, David H Burke became president. The body is a tapered square and has been mouth-blown in a three-piece mould and features and applied oil finish and have been sealed with a cork. Gin bottles of this style have a long production span and this bottle probably dates from the later 19th or very early 20th century. #EverickHeritage #culturalheritage #australianarchaeology #historyfacts #heritage #archaeology #artefacts

14.01.2022 Check out this beauty of a chert scraper. Fits perfectly in your hand. #AustralianArchaeology #AboriginalArchaeology #CulturalHeritage #Archaeology #StoneTool #FitsInYourHand

14.01.2022 The artefacts we find do not belong to us. Our role is to record, analyse, interpret and return all artefacts that are found, be it European or Aboriginal material. Sometimes, this recording can be done in the field and the object can be left where it was found, or relocated if it is in harms way. Other times, the objects are removed (salvaged) and returned to the Traditional Owners for inclusion in their Keeping Place or given to relevant historic societies, including museums. We do not keep any artefacts for ourselves. #askanarchaeologist #archaeology #australianarchaeology #archaeologyfieldwork #artefact #heritagematters

11.01.2022 Some great results from the @CrossRiverRail project at Albert Street, right outside our building on Mary Street. Brisbane's oldest Chinatown dating to 1870-80 with terrific preservation of leather objects. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au//brisbane-s-original-chin

09.01.2022 Since archaeology is the study of the human past, artefacts can be anything associated with past human activity, from what was eaten, what was grown, where they lived and died. In Aboriginal archaeology, shell middens and stone tools (such as flakes, cores, scrapers, grindstones, and axes) are the most common finds, and are the most insightful into the technological advancements and capabilities of Indigenous Australians. In addition, glassware and other common household ite...ms from Australia’s early colonialization period tend to be most predominant in historic archaeology. These items provide a fascinating snapshot into the lives of the early convicts and free settlers. #askanarchaeologist #archaeology #australianarchaeology #archaeologyfieldwork #ozarch #heritagematters

08.01.2022 Our team being trained on a resistograph, equipment to relatively date trees by measuring the growth rings in a living tree.

07.01.2022 In collaboration with @uqsocsci and the #Quandamooka People, Everick Foundation re-excavated Rob Neal’s 1980s excavations at Wallen Wallen Creek, using #OSL to examine Neal’s Pleistocene date, currently the oldest site in Southeast Queensland. #2020NAW #Archaeologyweek #ozarch #Minjerribah

06.01.2022 2021 Forecast: partly filled with magnificent artefacts and community engagement, a tendency for cool discoveries, and a high chance of awesome.

05.01.2022 This leaf-shaped silcrete flake has a certain aesthetic quality that is uncommon. The sweeping curved edges suggest it was skilfully struck by a proficient individual from the larger stone. #AustralianArchaeology #AboriginalArchaeology #Archaeology #StoneTools #IfOnlyStoneToolsCouldSpeak #ThisOneWouldTellABeautifulStory

05.01.2022 Knowing precisely where to dig is a multi-staged process that takes into account the regional context, the purpose of the dig (e.g., research vs commercial), and the site-specific conditions. Before any excavation, research begins with a literature review of historical and archival documentation and other regional studies. Site specific aspects include: understanding the landscape and environmental conditions suitable for occupational sites, proximity to water sources, reviewing historic aerial photographs to assess past site disturbance, non-invasive detection methods (such as LIDAR and Ground Penetrating Radar), and consultation with Aboriginal parties or historic sources / societies to understand the intangible heritage. #askanarchaeologist #australianarchaeology #archaeology #archaeologyfieldwork #ozarch #heritagematters

04.01.2022 #AskAnArchaeologist Day is an official part of the Council for British Archaeology’s Festival of Archaeology each year. This year, Everick will be engaging Australian public curiosity by answering any question you may have about archaeology in general or Australian archaeology specifically. There’s no such thing as a silly question, so don’t be shy to leave your questions in the comments, or message us directly. We will be posting our Q&A’s across Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram on Wednesday 15 July 2020. #askanarchaeologist #australianarchaeology #aboriginalarchaeology #archaeology #questionsandanswers

03.01.2022 This trowel, out on site this week with Principal (Foundation) Serena Love, has been with her since Serena's very first excavation in 1996. Ironically, this trowel is older than the graduate archaeologist on site with her! #ATrustyToolNeverGetsOld #ArchaeologyLife #WhenFindsAreOlderThanYou

03.01.2022 Everick Foundation’s interactive and engaging #DiggingUpThePast2021 content continues with our fourth workshop about #MuseumRepatriation. Students will dive deep into the topic by debating topics such as whether the Rosetta Stone be returned to Egypt and who has the right to own the past? Everick Foundation cannot wait to share the challenges of #archaeology with your #students. Contact us today to arrange your #classroom session with our experienced archaeology professionals!

03.01.2022 A fossil is usually a plant or animal that has become embedded in stone. An artefact is something that was made by people. Fossils are made by nature; artefacts are culturally produced. Most fossils found in Australia pre-date human arrival. Given archaeology is the study of humanity, fossils are generally outside the scope of Australian archaeology.
