AbstractAs the most visible remains of past coastal economies across the coast of northern Australia, mounds of shell dominated by roughback cockles (Tegillarca granosa) have featured often in explanations for Late Holocene Indigenous subsistence strategies. Recently more detailed local and regional studies continue to build a picture of some variations to this dominance, which demonstrate the breadth of marine species exploited, the extensive ecological knowledge of past economies, and the persistence of cultural traditions in human societies. This paper describes one such study, of mounds composed predominantly of another species of bivalve, the rounded toothed pearl-shell (Isognomon ephippium), found on Larrakia Country near Darwin, Northern Territory.Keywords: Shell moundsLate HoloceneNorthern Territory coast AcknowledgementsWe thank members of the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Lorraine Williams for sharing their local knowledge and assistance with surveys, Professor Sean Ulm (James Cook University) for advice on the local Delta R value and NT Heritage Branch for providing resources and maps for fieldwork. We also thank the reviewers, for constructive comments that helped to improve this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

Marara (carved trees, dendroglyphs or tapholgyphs) are a distinct part of Wiradjuri Country in southeastern Australia. Each marara displays a unique muyalaang (tree carving) that a Wiradjuri person carved into the outer surface of a tree after removing bark. Marara mark the dhabuganha (burials) of Wiradjuri men of high standing, representing part of traditional cultural practices that extend into the deep past. Yet, the meaning of these sacred locations is not widely understood due to the lack of Wiradjuri teaching, knowledge and participation in previous studies. Here we present the first Wiradjuri-led archaeological study of marara, muyalaang and dhabuganha, completed in the Central Tablelands. We combine a review of previous studies with new information from interviews with Wiradjuri Elders and knowledge holders, Ground Penetrating Radar survey, and 3D modelling (photogrammetry) – guided by the Wiradjuri philosophy Yindyamarra (cultural respect). The results build new, culturally and scientifically informed understandings of practical and symbolic aspects of Wiradjuri culture, with marara and dhabuganha viewed not as individual objects or ‘sites’ but as connected parts of Wiradjuri Lore, beliefs, traditional cultural practices and Country. Consistent with Wiradjuri Elder requests, this paper is freely available and written in simple language for the Wiradjuri community and beyond.

Abstract The Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) retourschip “Batavia” was commissioned to serve as a trade vessel between Europe and the East Indies. Her maiden voyage suddenly ended 6 June 1629, wrecking on Morning Reef in the Houtman Abrolhos, off Western Australia. Amongst the earliest documented interactions in the history of European contact with Australia, what followed was a bizarre and macabre series of events that ultimately developed into a mutiny resulting in the mass murder of more than 100 individuals, in addition to a similar number of people that perished from ‘natural’ causes over a three-month period. Here, we describe the archaeological recovery and analysis of one individual most likely murdered, as evidenced by fatal cranial trauma. The skull was recovered in 1964, but the postcranial skeleton was unrecoverable at that time, and effectively remained ‘missing’ until being located in 2014, with excavation following during the 2015 field season. The reassociation of the head and body of this individual, in addition to the archaeological and physical anthropological interpretation of the skeleton and its burial context, facilitates new and interesting insight into the life history of this person and the events surrounding their demise at the hands of mutineers on Beacon Island.
Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC)的返航船“Batavia”被委托作为欧洲和东印度群岛之间的贸易船。1629年6月6日,她的处女航突然结束,在西澳大利亚附近的豪特曼·阿布罗霍斯的晨礁上失事。在欧洲人与澳大利亚接触的历史中,最早记录在案的互动中,随之而来的是一系列奇怪而可怕的事件,最终发展成一场兵变,导致100多人被大规模屠杀,此外还有类似数量的人在三个月的时间里死于“自然”原因。在这里,我们描述考古恢复和分析一个人最有可能被谋杀,作为证据,致命的颅脑外伤。头骨于1964年被发现,但当时的颅骨后骨骼无法恢复,直到2014年才被找到,直到2015年的野外季节才被挖掘出来。这个人的头部和身体的重新关联,加上对骨骼及其埋葬背景的考古和物理人类学解释,有助于对这个人的生活史以及他们死于比肯岛叛乱分子之手的事件有新的和有趣的见解。
