  • 1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape
    1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape Bimberi Peak, Bimberi Nature LOCALITIES Reserve, part of Namadgi National Park Low Low Land Salt Load Salinity (in-stream) Brindabella 1:100 000 MAP SHEET Tantangara 1:100 000 Low EC (in-stream) CONFIDENCE LEVEL Moderate OVERVIEW The Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) extends in a north-south strip in the west of the ACT in the Namadgi National Park (Figure 1). The HGL covers an area of 80 km2 and receives 1000 to 1700 mm of rain per annum. Figure 1: Bimberi HGL distribution map. Bimberi HGL is defined by a soil landscape boundary of Bimberi Soil Landscape (Figure 2). There are high altitude (alpine) and sub alpine areas in the landscape, which is granitic, with small tors and rounded dome shaped hills. A feature of the landscape is large areas of peat wetlands in the higher landscape units, which have developed behind bedrock controlled areas or in depressions. This is different from Clear Range HGL, which has shallow rocky soils with steep slopes. Namadgi HGL is also a granitic landscape, with distinctive tors in the upper landscape. In the alpine area there are large numbers of peat bogs in the higher landscape units, with more water stored in Organosol soils. These areas act as a ‘sponges’ and influence the hydrology of the whole unit. Water movement is via through-flow, with constant delivery of water fed by the peats and the organosols in the higher altitudes to the lower landscape so that flow in the system often continues well after rain. There is high rainfall and runoff in the area and occasional snowfall which drives the water dynamics.

  • Liva 1 – the First Medieval Sámi Site with Rectangular Hearths in Murmansk Oblast (Russia)
    Liva 1 – The First Medieval Sámi Site with Rectangular Hearths in Murmansk Oblast (Russia) Anton I. Murashkin & Evgeniy M. Kolpakov Anton I. Murashkin, Department of Archaeology, St Petersburg State University, Mendeleyevskaya linya 5, RU-199034 St Petersburg, Russia: [email protected], [email protected] Evgeniy M. Kolpakov, Department of Palaeolithic, Institute for the History of Material Culture, Russian Academy of Sciences, Dvortsovaya nab. 18, RU-191186 St Petersburg, Russia: [email protected] Abstract In 2017–2018, the Kola Archaeological Expedition of the Institute of the History of Material Culture (IHMC) RAS carried out excavations at the medieval site of Liva 1 (a hearth-row site) in the Kovdor District of Murmansk Oblast. Sites of this type are fairly well studied in the western part of Sapmi – the area inhabited by the Sámi – but until now they have not been known in Russia. The site was found by local residents in 2010. Some of the structures there were destroyed or damaged when searching for artefacts with a metal detector. A total of nine archaeological structures have been discovered (7 rectangular stone hearths, 1 mound, 1 large pit). Four hearths were excavated. They are of rectangular shape, varying in size from 2.0 x 1.15 to 2.5 x 1.7 metres. The fireplaces are lined with large stone blocks in one course, and the central part is filled with small stones in 2–3 layers. Animal bones, occasionally forming concentrations, were found near the hearths. Throughout the area of the settle- ment, numerous iron objects (tools or their fragments) and bronzes were collected including ornaments made in manufacturing centres of Old Rus’, Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.

  • Modernism and Reindeer in the Bering Straits
    More Things on Heaven and Earth: Modernism and Reindeer in the Bering Straits By Bathsheba Demuth Summer 2012 Bathsheba Demuth is a PhD candidate in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley The Scene On a modern map, the shoulders of Eurasia and North America nearly touch at the Bering Strait, a 52-mile barrier between Old World and New. During the rolling period of ice ages known as the Pleistocene, the Pacific Ocean pulled back leaving the Chukchi Peninsula connected to Alaska’s Seward Peninsula by a wide, grassy plain. Two million years ago, the animal we call the reindeer emerged along this continental juncture.1 As glaciers spread, reindeer followed them southward; by 20,000 years ago, Rangifer tarandus had moved deep into Western Europe, forming the base of Neolithic hunters’ diets and appearing, antlers lowered in the fall rutting charge, on the walls of Lascaux.2 Reindeer, like our human ancestors who appeared a million and a half years after them, are products of the ice age. They are gangly, long-nosed, and knob-kneed, with a ruff of white fur around their deep chests, swooping antlers and nervous ears, and have the capacity to not just survive but thrive in million-strong herds despite the Arctic dark and cold. Like any animal living in the far north, reindeer – or caribou, as they are known in North America – must solve the problem of energy. With the sun gone for months of the year, the photosynthetic transfer of heat into palatable calories is minimal; plants are small, tough, often no more than the rock-like scrum of lichens.

  • New Australian and Australian State Lichen and Lichenicolous Lichen Reports
    J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 90: 269- 291 (July. 2001) NEW AUSTRALIAN AND AUSTRALIAN STATE LICHEN AND LICHENICOLOUS LICHEN REPORTS 1 2 3 4 D. ALLEN , H. T. LUMBSCH , S. MADDEN AND H. SrPMAN ABSTRACT. Based on recent acquisitions of the Australian National Herbarium since 1982, mainly the collections of J.A.Elix and H.Streimann, new distribution data are presented for 162 species. This includes 31 species new to Australia: Acarospora reagens, Co/lema fragrans, Cyphelium australe, Dictyonema ligulatum, Dimerella pineti, Diploschistes farinosus, D. gyrophoricus, Dirinaria compli­ cata, Heterodermia isidiophora, Hyperphyscia pruinosa, Megalospora atrorubicans ssp. atrorubi­ cans, Myriotrema bahianum, M. compunctum, M. terebratulum, Ocellularia aurata, 0. berkeleyana, Ochrolechia africana, Opegrapha .filicina, 0. phylloporinae, Peltula marginata, Physcia dimidiata, Porina sphaerocephala, Porpidia cinereoatra, Pyrenula corticata, Pyxine cylindrica, Thelotrema platysporum, Thyrea confusa, Trapelia involuta, Trichothelium triseptatum, Trypethelium aeneum, Umbilicaria nylanderiana. Most of these are tropical taxa, found in Queensland. The other species are newly recorded for one or more Australian states. Seventeen years have elapsed since the last significant report (Elix & Streimann 1982) of new lichen records based on collections held at the Cryptogamic Herbarium of the Aus­ tralian National Herbarium (CANB). However, interesting and significant finds have been reported by various authors in revisions and in the Australasian Lichenology (formerly Australiasian Lichenological Newsletter) with many of these reports based on CANB col­ lections. The CANB collections have grown significantly since 1982 with the donation by Prof. J.A. Elix of his lichen collections and the continuing collecting program to northern Aus­ tralia which have added significantly to the knowledge of Australian lichenology.

While the areas had been surveyed previously, the remoteness and roughness of the terrain meant that many of the collections were restricted to the more accessible sites. In addition, the parks had not been surveyed for some taxa, for example Namadgi had never been surveyed for spiders. This survey gave researchers an opportunity to explore little-known areas and to benchmark the biodiversity of the Australian alpine regions. The survey focused on flora and invertebrate groups. The survey took place in early summer and provided ideal conditions for collecting. Namadgi and Kosciuszko National Parks are situated in Australia’s alpine region and provide habitat for a wealth of alpine and sub-alpine species.
