I would also like to express our sincere thanks to all of our sponsors this year especially our platinum sponsors Rio Tinto and BHP, and gold sponsors Biosis, Everick Foundation, Griffith University, Monash University, ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH), University of Western Australia, and Scarp Archaeology. It is through their generous support that we also welcome a huge contingent of Indigenous representatives, and students from as far away as the Kimberley and Northern Territory. The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Disrupting Paradise: The Archaeology of the Driest Inhabited Continent on Earth’. Surfers Paradise and the Glitter Strip are famed for their sun, surf and sandy beaches along with a seamy underbelly after the sun goes down. But as Australia’s largest non-capital city, the Gold Coast arguably presents one of the clearest examples of complete terraforming and resurfacing of cultural and natural landscapes. We also take the opportunity to reflect on how archaeology has developed as a discipline and as a community in the 50 years since John Mulvaney published his landmark Prehistory of Australia. How has archaeology disrupted and continued to disrupt understandings of the past and ourselves? How have our understandings of people and transformation in Australia changed in the last 50 years? The venue for this year is the Mantra on View, Gold Coast (hopefully you are sitting reading this in the right place), with a Welcome reception right on the beach at the Surfers Paradise Surf Lifesaving Supporters Club, and the Conference Dinner Friday night at the Mantra. Have a great time at AAA41, we hope you learn some new things, meet some old things, and don’t disrupt Paradise too much in the process … Michael Slack President Australian Archaeological Association 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF TRADITIONAL OWNERS The Conference Organisers acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which we meet. We express our appreciation to the representatives of these communities for their participation in the Conference.

These reconfigurations have often been interpreted as the result of continent-wide trajectories which began in the mid-Holocene, often termed ‘intensification’. These approaches have been found wanting as they homogenise diverse records of human adaptation into a single account which inexorably leads to the ethnographic present. The archaeological record tells a rather different story with fluctuating occupational intensity and even regional abandonments featuring in well-documented archaeological records. Instead, variability documented in the ethnographic and archaeological records can be understood as a product of local adaptations reflecting the operation of historically situated systems of social organisation in diverse environmental settings.

  • The Rock Art of Madjedbebe (Malakunanja II)
    5 The rock art of Madjedbebe (Malakunanja II) Sally K. May, Paul S.C. Taçon, Duncan Wright, Melissa Marshall, Joakim Goldhahn and Inés Domingo Sanz Introduction The western Arnhem Land site of Madjedbebe – a site hitherto erroneously named Malakunanja II in scientific and popular literature but identified as Madjedbebe by senior Mirarr Traditional Owners – is widely recognised as one of Australia’s oldest dated human occupation sites (Roberts et al. 1990a:153, 1998; Allen and O’Connell 2014; Clarkson et al. 2017). Yet little is known of its extensive body of rock art. The comparative lack of interest in rock art by many archaeologists in Australia during the 1960s into the early 1990s meant that rock art was often overlooked or used simply to illustrate the ‘real’ archaeology of, for example, stone artefact studies. As Hays-Gilpen (2004:1) suggests, rock art was viewed as ‘intractable to scientific research, especially under the science-focused “new archaeology” and “processual archaeology” paradigms of the 1960s through the early 1980s’. Today, things have changed somewhat, and it is no longer essential to justify why rock art has relevance to wider archaeological studies. That said, archaeologists continued to struggle to connect the archaeological record above and below ground at sites such as Madjedbebe. For instance, at this site, Roberts et al. (1990a:153) recovered more than 1500 artefacts from the lowest occupation levels, including ‘silcrete flakes, pieces of dolerite and ground haematite, red and yellow ochres, a grindstone and a large number of amorphous artefacts made of quartzite and white quartz’. The presence of ground haematite and ochres in the lowest deposits certainly confirms the use of pigment by the early, Pleistocene inhabitants of this site.

Macintosh, University of Sydney (Figs. 1-9) (Plates XIX-XXVII) Manuscript received 20.9.61 PREVIOUS LITERATURE The rock engravings in the main gallery, and the paintings in the" Big Cave", have been described briefly, and some of the main carvings and paintings illustrated, by Pulleine (1926), Riddell (1928), Barrett (1929 and 1943), Davidson (1936), Black (1943 and 1949), and McCarthy (1957 and 1958). Pulleine's claim (op. cit. 80) that he recorded all of the motifs at Mootwingee is far from being the case. These papers indicated that Mootwingee was an important comparative site on the eastern extremity of the full intaglio pecking technique, and a complete recording was therefore decided upon.
