Abstract This article provides new data and syntheses for the zooarchaeological record of the Lower Murray River Gorge region in South Australia. The contribution of original data from Murrawong, Kangerung and Pomberuk provides rigorous and complementary records for the region. In particular, we supply new and detailed identifications for terrestrial vertebrate fauna and comment on prior published taxonomic identifications and methods. Using the Ngarrindjeri concept of ngatji we have also created a new lens with which to view the faunal assemblages. This new reading includes considerations of Lower Murray River Gorge diets in the Mid to Late Holocene, the presence/absence of certain species (inclusive of potential cultural influences) as well as the effects of European colonisation on animals (some now extinct or threatened) and the concomitant impacts for Ngarrindjeri people.

Abstract In NSW the availability of excavation records, physical remains (primarily artefacts), technical datasets, and reports associated with a historical archaeological project can only be described as varied. These forms of data can be collectively termed an archaeological archive. The storage of archives commonly includes any combination of small-scale centralised repositories, on-site facilities, private (client or investigator) off-site storage, or digital platforms. Archaeologists recognise the value of sustainably archiving these resources, as well as making them available for research, public access, or other intentions, however, what is the status of our combined approaches? Data collected from 40 historical archaeological sites in NSW has been used here to benchmark the current situation in the state. It was found that only three of the investigated sites had a complete and accessible archaeological archive with suitable metadata available before reaching the storage facility. This research outlines the precarious status of our efforts in archiving for perpetuity and the reliance on informal and personal networks within the archaeological community to discover and access archives. It is argued here that a framework of visibility, accessibility, and longevity should be applied to any project to consider the strength of archaeological archive retention methods. While the focus remains on understanding the key issues, several recommendations are also made for improving the consistency and long-term success of accessing historical archaeological repositories and data management systems. Key suggested approaches are to promote significance in the decision to create archaeological archives in the first place, prioritise resolving visibility constraints and focus on small and achievable system improvements.

ported by ‘a large number of independent written records’ (p.139), that a second wreck was present in its vicinity. This included applying new remote sensing techniques on Gun Island, where many survivors had washed up, with results indicating that the archaeological record has preserved not only the history of those who survived the wrecking of the “Zeewijk”, but also the complex industrial landscape caused by intensive guano mining in the nineteenth century. Meanwhile, DNA analysis of elephant tusks from the wreck site determined that they were of Central-West, rather than East, African origin, suggesting they were part of a smuggled hoard on the “Zeewijk” rather than from a second wreck. This is one of many possible examples in the book that successfully brings together multiple methods and datasets to answer old, and generate new, questions. At a time when universities, humanities programs and external research funding are all under threat, this book – and the project behind it – is a shining example of what is possible when historical research is properly resourced. ARC funding allows Australian and international collaborators to come together around some of our most pressing research puzzles. It is both prestigious and highly competitive. I was both bemused and impressed by the boldness of the editors who, having stated that another ARC grant would be ‘opportune’, go so far as to give it a working title: ‘The Golden Age’ (p.283). Should their proposal be successful, we can look forward to another substantial contribution to the knowledge base on early maritime histories in Australia.

Abstract New Guinea has yielded some of the earliest evidence for a human presence in Sahul (Pleistocene Australia-New Guinea), with the north coast being one of the likely colonisation routes from Southeast Asia. Of the known pre-Last Glacial Maximum (≥30kya) archaeological sites from New Guinea, only a handful come from the Highlands. Navigable pathways linking the north coast to the central cordillera, specifically ‘grassland corridors’, may have facilitated settlement, yet little is known about human settlement of fringe montane valleys within these corridors. A survey and excavation program within the Simbai-Kaironk Valleys (2,000–1,600 m asl) on the northern montane fringe identified 51 sites across a 21 km corridor. Radiocarbon dating suggests a possible human presence from 31 ka, clear evidence for landscape use from 17 to 15 ka, and an increase in site density from the Mid-Holocene. Most sites were from open settings, with Holocene settlements positioned at elevations optimising access to montane forests, grasslands and lowland resources. We argue that the Simbai-Kaironk grassland corridor has facilitated access to the central Highland valleys since the Late Pleistocene. Shorter and more direct pathways, transecting the river valleys via prominent spurs rising above the lowlands – and their associated insect-borne diseases – are likely to have facilitated coastal-Highland movement throughout the Holocene.
