Islands of Inquiry: Colonisation, Seafaring and the Archaeology Of terra australis 29 Terra 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 Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

There’s wonders in the deep, my pretty. Think on it when the winds is roaring and the waves is rowling. Think on it when the stormy nights is so pitch dark,’ said the Captain, solemnly holding up his hook, ‘as you can’t see your hand afore you, excepting when the wiwid lightning reweals the same; and when you drive, drive, drive through the storm and dark, as if you was a driving, head on, to the world without end,’ Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son (1848:252). Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard terra australis 29 Preface The impetus for this volume is the pending retirement of Professor Atholl Anderson from the Department of Archaeology and Natural History in the Australian National University in June 2008, after a distinguished and brilliant career in academic archaeology. In geographic range, Atholl’s field research has extended over large swathes of the Pacific Ocean, from the west coast of South America to Western Micronesia, to Island Southeast Asia, and west to the Indian Ocean. Few prehistorians of Oceania have seen as much of their subject matter at such close quarters. The variety and span of his study areas are matched, and quite possibly exceeded, by the prodigious variety of subjects he has tackled in numerous scientific publications, which are outlined by Foss Leach in Chapter 1. As a colleague, mentor and friend to fellow archaeologists, Atholl has been hugely influential in the development of archaeology in Australasia and further afield, and his intense interest in prehistory has been propelled by both a love of history and a desire to see the past with fresh eyes – even if that means upsetting long-established and often cherished conceptual frameworks in the process. This bent for revisionism aimed squarely at improving the historical realism of the discipline has led him to engage with new scientific techniques and theoretical orientations, along with instituting field projects in remote places to recover the essential data. Such an unusually high level of intellectual enthusiasm recalls Samuel Johnson’s comment about the prolific Edmund Burke that: ‘His stream of mind is perpetual’, and throughout his career, numerous prehistorians have benefited from Atholl’s generous sharing of ideas, information and contacts. In putting together this volume, our aim was to honour Atholl’s contribution to archaeology by soliciting papers on subjects which have been at the core of his research endeavours over several decades. The titleIslands of Inquiry: Colonisation, seafaring and the archaeology of maritime landscapes reflects Atholl’s abiding intellectual interest and fascination with the way people reached, occupied and transformed diverse, and often extreme, insular environments. Both ‘colonisation’ and ‘seafaring’ are well-established themes in island archaeology, but the concept of ‘maritime landscapes’ might at first glance appear incongruous. However, island peoples, in the past as well as in the present, have a strong and visceral connection with the seas and oceans in which they live. Maritime influences, whether they be situated in subsistence, trade or ritual domains, permeate the social life of island communities, and are amenable to archaeological study. Thus, a major aim of the volume is to highlight the importance of an archaeologically informed history of landmasses in the oceans and seas of the world. terra australis 29 Contributors were asked to write on a relevant theme, and to eschew valediction and sentiment in favour of scholarly writing.

Gastropods is an important role in the decomposition process of litter, especially the detritus Gastropods. The presence and diversity of Gastropods is largely determined by their habitat conditions. The mangrove ecosystem in Lambur Village is currently experiencing environmental degradation. This research aims to find out the diversity of species of Gastropods and know the characteristics of Gastropod’s habitat seen from physical and chemical factor of invironment in the mangrove ecosystem of Lambur Village Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency. This research is descriptive explorative, with station determination using purposive sampling. The study sites were divided into three research stations. Gastropods located on the surface of the substrate and attached to the root of the mangrove plant are taken manually by hand collection technique, while the gastropod located inside the substrate is dug collection technique using a shovel. Environmental parameters measured include substrate type, temperature, pH, and salinity. The results obtained were analyzed using index of species diversity and dominance index. Gastropods were found to total 539 individuals including 21 species of 15 genera, which belong to 8 families. The index of the diversity of the three stations was categorized by medium with respectively values of 2,461, 1,893, and 2,533, while the dominant index of the three stations was categorized as low with respectively values of 0.106, 0.201, and 0.096.

Wiltllifc and Heritage, 134 Macquarie St.. Hobart. Tas 7000 {<eceived I May /990 The life history of the Short-tailed Shearwater Puffinus tenuirostris has been well documented since it first came to the attention of naturalists. Approximately 23 million birds breed in about 250 colonies in southeastern Australia from September to April. The Short-tailed Shearwater commences to breed when 4 to 15 years. During their completed lifetimes 27 per cent of all individuals produce no young and 19 per cent only one chick. Mortality is age-related with the median survival time for breeding being 9.3 years after first breeding. Many areas remain open for study, with a particular need for interdisciplinary research that includes oceanography.

The first site was a Neolithic chambered cairn in Crarae Gardens. This cairn was excavated in the 1950s when it was discovered to contain inhumations and cremation burials. The chamber is divided into three sections by two septal slabs with the largest section at the rear. The next site was Arichonan township which overlooks Caol Scotnish, an inlet of Loch Sween, and which was cleared in 1848 though there were still some households listed in the 1851 census.

  • Impacts of Alien Land Arthropods and Mollusks on Native Plants and Animals in Hawaii
    7. IMPACTS OF ALIEN LAND ARTHROPODS AND MOLLUSKS ON NATIVE PLANTS AND ANIMALS IN HAWAIfI Francis G. Howarth ABSTRACT Over 2,000 alien arthropod species and about 30 alien non-marine mollusks are established in the wild in Hawai'i, While the data are too meager to assess fully the impacts of any of these organisms on the na- tive biota, the documentation suggests several areas of critical concern. Alien species feed directly on na- tive plants or their products, thus competing with na- tive herbivores and affecting host plants. Alien pred- ators and parasites critically reduce the populations of many native species and seriously deplete the food resources of native predators. Some immigrant species spread diseases that infect elements of the native bio- ta. Others are toxic to native predators. There is also competition for other resources, such as nesting and resting sites. Even apparently innocuous intro- duced species may provide food for alien predators, thus keeping predator populations high with an atten- dant greater impact on native prey. Control measures targeted at alien pests may be hazardous to natives. Mitigative measures must be based on sound research and firmer understanding of the complex interactions and dynamics of functioning ecosystems. Strict quarantine procedures are cost effective in preventing or delaying the establishment of potential pests. Strict control or fumigation is needed for nonessential importations (such as cow chips, Christmas trees, and flowers in bulk). Improved review of introductions for biological control is required in order to prevent repeating past mistakes. Biocontrol introductions must be used only for bona fide pests and used in native ecosystems only in special circumstances.
