This is just the third time our two associations have come together to share our annual conferences and we look forward to continuing our close collaboration into the future. The tropical zone is home to extraordinary diversity, reflected in a rich and diverse archaeological and natural heritage. In our own region, discoveries such as Homo floresiensis, sea-faring Lapita peoples on the south coast of Papua New Guinea and the tropics as a key zone controlling global climate have fundamentally reshaped our understandings of the long-term human histories of these vast land and seascapes. Your host James Cook University welcomes you to the tropics to engage in conversations about these issues and about many others which confront our disciplines. Our venue for 2014 is the Pullman Cairns International. We trust that delegates and other guests will enjoy their experiences in the North of Queensland. Sean Ulm and Geraldine Mate AAA/ASHA2014 Conference Convenors AAA / ASHA 2 2014 Conference Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners Our conference takes place in the coastal city of Cairns, Queensland, home of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji and Yirrganydji peoples. The Conference Organisers acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are meeting. We would like to express our appreciation to the representatives of these communities for their participation in the conference. We acknowledge Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this country. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and Elders of the land both past and present on which we stand today. In the spirit of reconciliation, we also acknowledge the valuable contribution that Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to make to our community.

  • Learning to Build a Wood Fired Earth Oven
    Learning To Build A Wood Fired Earth Oven Dedicated to all lovers of planet Earth 1 | P a g e www.apieceofrainbow.com 3 weeks ago I attended an earth oven building class taught by one of the best teachers in this field, Kiko Denzer, at the fabulous Grain Gathering. Kiko and the event organizers graciously allowed me to share my amazing class experience. This article is not meant to be used as a building manual. If you are planning to build one, make sure to check out the indispensable resources here http://www.apieceofrainbow.com/build-a-wood- fired-earth-oven/#Helpful-Resources as well as safety and local building codes. During the 6 hour long class, we built 2 portable earth ovens, which were auctioned the next day. I learned so much about building with earth and other readily available materials. There's such simplicity and beauty to the process that I find deeply inspiring. The wood fired earth ovens(aka- cob ovens) are easy to build, and can give 12 hours of cooking after each firing, to make super delicious goodies from pizzas, bread, cookies to casseroles. 2 | P a g e www.apieceofrainbow.com Above is a top section of an earth oven. Materials, Design and Foundation The ovens we made measure about 24" in finished diameter, and have an inside cooking area of 12" diameter by 14" high. They each weigh about 250 lbs, and each took about two 5-gallon buckets of clay and sand mixture to build. If you want a larger oven, please adjust the materials accordingly.

  • Wege Zur Musik
    The beginnings 40,000 years ago Homo sapiens journeyed up the River Danube in small groups. On the southern edge of the Swabian Alb, in the tundra north of the glacial Alpine foothills, the fami- lies found good living conditions: a wide offering of edible berries, roots and herbs as well as herds of reindeer and wild horses. In the valleys along the rivers they found karst caves which offered protection in the long and bleak winters. Here they made figures of animals and hu-mans, ornaments of pearls and musical instruments. The archaeological finds in some of these caves are so significant that the sites were declared by UNESCO in 2017 as ‘World Heritage Sites of Earliest Ice-age Art’. Since 1993 I have been performing concerts in such caves on archaic musical instruments. Since 2002 I have been joined by the percussion group ‘Banda Maracatu’. Ever since prehis- toric times flutes and drums have formed a perfect musical partnership. It was therefore natu- ral to invite along Gabriele Dalferth who not only made all of the ice-age flutes used in this recording but also masters them. The archaeology of music When looking back on the history of mankind, the period over which music has been docu- mented is a mere flash in time. Prior to that the nature of music was such that once it had fainted away it had disappeared forever. That is the situation for music archaeologists: The music of ice-age hunters and gatherers has gone for all time and cannot be rediscovered. Some musical instruments however have survived for a long time.

  • An Investigation Into the Placement of Disarticulated Human Remains Into Shell Middens During Prehistory
    An investigation into the placement of disarticulated human remains into shell middens during prehistory Emily Rebecca Hellewell PhD University of York Archaeology October 2015 Abstract The aim of this thesis was to critically evaluate the evidence for disarticulated human remains in shell middens, using sites in northwest Europe dating to the Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic as case studies. Traditionally, disarticulated remains placed in shell middens have been overlooked and assumed to be the result of burial disturbance with little in-depth analysis to the plausibility of this as an interpretation. The research considers whether it is possible to determine that the remains occurred through disturbance to inhumations, and to assess to what extent it is possible to reconstruct the processes of deposition of disarticulated remains. A new methodology has been developed with specific emphasis on identifying what taphonomic processes may have led to commingled human remains to be found at shell midden sites. Six hypothetical bone profile diagrams are presented, based on differing taphonomic processes known to affect burial remains. These hypothetical diagrams then provide comparative models to assess the evidence presented in the case studies. Three case studies located on the coast of western Scotland; Cnoc Coig, An Corran and Carding Mill Bay, demonstrate that it is likely that the placement of human remains into ancient shell middens emerged as part of secondary burial practices employed around the time of the Mesolithic/ Neolithic transition, while a Danish case study, Havnø, highlights a potential change in practices occurring from the Mesolithic into the Neolithic. Critically, the close assessment of the disarticulated remains provides strong evidence that disarticulated remains in shell middens are likely to be the result of more complex burial processes than previously thought.

  • Kim Sterelny Review of Billy Griffiths, Deep Time Dreaming
    Kim Sterelny review of Billy Griffiths,Deep Time Dreaming: Uncovering Ancient Australia (Carlton, Vic.: Black Inc., 2018), 376 pp., PB $34.99, ISBN 9781760640446 Billy Griffiths begins this thoughtful, nuanced and beautifully written work with an admission: it is written by an outsider. The book is a reflection on the archaeology of Australia and its significance, but it is the product of a fringe-dwelling onlooker; a historian. In a similar spirit of full disclosure, I should warn the reader that I too am an outsider; neither historian nor archaeologist, but a philosopher of science. Worse still, an unreconstructed and unapologetic positivist. That is relevant, for Griffiths thinks of archaeology has having aspects of both a science and a humanity. Moreover, without quite saying so explicitly, it is clear that he thinks both intellectual traditions are of equal standing. Both essential; neither privileged. In contrast, in the project of uncovering and understanding Australia’s deep past—human, biological, geological, climatic—I think science, fallible though it is, is privileged. More on that shortly. As noted above, this work is a reflection on the archaeology and archaeologists of Australia rather than a systematic history of its coming of age as a discipline over the last 60 years or so. Rather, as his analysis develops, chapter by chapter, three primary themes emerge. A fourth, usually in the background, is the growing technical sophistication of archaeological practice. Initially, that was largely due to the influence of the Cambridge school of archaeology and its emphasis on system, detail and documentation (let no shard or scrap of bone escape the sieve or the notebook).
