A First Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in Australia Continued JANE P AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 2, 1984 A First Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in Australia Continued JANE P. WESSON Keeping up-to-date with written material in the field ofAustralian historical archaeology remains a difficult problem. For this reason, Jane Wesson has updated her bibliography that was published in Volume 1 ofthis journal. Two particular difficulties continue to bedevil the task ofbibliographer in this subject. First, how does one define historical archaeology? Second, what does one do about unpublished 'report' material? The first of these questions would probably be answered slightly differently by each individual bibliographer but the second is a simple matter ofdeciding whether to restrict the entries to formally published material or to include such unpublished material as one happens to know about. Strictly the first policy would be most appropriate but this would exclude much material ofuse both to researchers and to contract archaeologists. For this reason it is the second policy that is adopted here. The last twelve months have seen an increase in the interest A.

Hello members and friends. I am pleased and privileged to have been elected president of AGSHV Inc. for 2016. This is an exciting challenge to be chosen for this role. Hopefully I have followed on from where Brian has left off as he has left big shoes to fill. Brian and Leonie decided to relinquish their long held posts as President and Treasurer (respectively) after many years of unquestionable service to our society, which might I say, was carried out with great efficiency and grace. They have set a high standard. Thank you Brian and Leonie. We also welcomed a new Vice President, Richard Bale and new Treasurer John Hyslop. Although change has come to the executive committee the drive for excellence has not been diminished. Brian is still very involved with organising and running activities as if nothing has changed. The “What Rock Is That” teaching day Brian and Ron conducted (which ended up running over 2 days) at Brian’s home was an outstanding success. Everyone had samples of rocks, with Brian and Ron explaining the processes involved in how these rocks would have formed, and how to identify each sample, along with copious written notes and diagrams.

  • The 1629 Mass Grave for Batavia Victims, Beacon Island, Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 22, 2004 The 1629 mass grave for Batavia victims, Beacon Island, Houtman Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia ALISTAIR PATERSON AND DANIEL FRANKLIN The excavation of a multiple burial on Beacon Island recovered victims of the Batavia mutiny of 1629. Skeletal analysis indicates the grave contained three adult males, two youths, and an infant. Some of the individuals were buried with clothing and personal items. A dense soil feature at the centre of the grave was unusual, being a completely different soil to the local crushed shell and coral. Based on chemical analysis, Accelerator Mass Spectrometry dates and excavation, we believe the feature was formed in the recent past after cray-fishers began using the island and did not derive from the seventeenth century. This paper describes the excavation of a multiple burial on Beacon Island that recovered victims of the Batavia mutiny of 1629. Many of the 125 victims were murdered, and several multiple killings and burials are described in historical sources. The excavation of this grave was completed in 2001 after earlier excavations had removed skeletal material (Gibbs 1994; Hunneybun 1995; Pasveer et al. 1998). This paper focuses on the results of the 2001 excavation which completed the removal of human remains and excavated a dense soil feature located at the centre of the grave. The soil feature was removed from the grave intact and transported to the Western Australian Maritime Museum (WAMM) for further excava- tion. This excavation recovered human skeletal material and metal artefacts (buttons, wire, a thimble) which could be added to artefacts recovered in 1999 (metal buttons, wire, a buckle, a pewter spoon).

    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

  • The Horan Family Diaspora Since Leaving Ireland 191 Years Ago
    A Genealogical Report on the Descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock by A.L. McDevitt Introduction The purpose of this report is to identify the descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock While few Horans live in the original settlement locations, there are still many people from the surrounding areas of Caledon, and Simcoe County, Ontario who have Horan blood. Though heavily weigh toward information on the Albion Township Horans, (the descendants of William Horan and Honorah Shore), I'm including more on the other branches as information comes in. That is the descendants of the Horans that moved to Grey County, Ontario and from there to Michigan and Wisconsin and Montana. I also have some information on the Horans that moved to Western Canada. This report was done using Family Tree Maker 2012. The Genealogical sites I used the most were Ancestry.ca, Family Search.com and Automatic Genealogy. While gathering information for this report I became aware of the importance of getting this family's story written down while there were still people around who had a connection with the past. In the course of researching, I became aware of some differences in the original settlement stories. I am including these alternate versions of events in this report, though I may be personally skeptical of the validity of some of the facts presented. All families have myths. I feel the dates presented in the Land Petitions of Mary Minnock and the baptisms in the County Offaly, Ireland, Rahan Parish registers speak for themselves. Though not a professional Genealogist, I have the obligation to not mislead other researchers.

  • Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters
    4 Shipwrecks: Images and Perceptions of Nineteenth Century Maritime Disasters Mark Staniforth In the nineteenth century the long sea voyage across thousands of miles of open ocean to Australia was a step into the unknown. International migration at this time usually involved travel by sea, as it had in previous centuries. Ships were the primary long distance transportation method and the movement of passengers was one of their most important functions. It has been estimated that more than 1.6 million immigrants travelled to Australia by ship between 1788 and 1900, nearly half of these people were assisted immigrants of one type or another and they came primarily from Great Britain with smaller numbers from Europe (Barrie 1989:121). In the popular imagination the ocean represented hazard and uncertainty - an alien environment in which the possibility of shipwreck loomed large. Passengers felt themselves to be at the mercy of the elements and being directly exposed to the extremes of the weather in a moving structure was a new and disconcerting experience. This fear of shipwreck can be seen in a letter from P. Harnett to his brother from Cape Town in 1832 who writes that: 'you and the family must have been frequently tormented by anxious hopes and fears of my safety or probably have heard that the vessel was wrecked and as a matter of course that I was lost' (Harnett 1832). In most respects shipwrecks, like other tragedies involving transportation, are civil or 'man made' disasters yet they also exhibit some of the 45 46 Disasters: Images and Contexts characteristics of natural disasters.l These include evoking in the victims feelings of powerlessness in the face of overwhelming natural forces and a timeframe which sometimes extends over a period of hours or even days.
