AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 1, 1983 A First Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in Australia JANE P. WESSON Bibliographies are a basic working tool for researching or teaching any subject, or merely for fol­ lowing up a casual interest. The person who undertakes to construct a bibliography, however, must have courage indeed. There will always be users ofthe end-product who will complain that it is incomplete or inaccurate or both. The proofofthe bibliography, like the pudding, is in the eating! Jane Wesson, who has produced the following bibliography, is very conscious ofthese things. She invites interested readers, who discover that their favourite reference is missing, to send it in so that we can publish an addendum in a later volume ofthis journal. Indeed, the editor would also propose that all readers publishing their own material should send in lists ofreferences to their latest publications at regular intervals. In this way we could provide an ongoing bibliographic service. The editor suggests that all references for inclusion be sent to him in the first instance. This bibliography was originally compiled in 1980 with ANZAAS Australian and New Zealand the primary aim of documenting as many as possible Association for the Advancement of the historical archaeological projects that had been of Science undertaken in Australia. People known to be working A.S.H.A. Australian Society for Historical in the field were contacted and relevant journals (par­ Archaeology ticularly the A.S.H.A. and A.A.A. Newsletters) sys­ BAR British Archaeological Reports tematically searched. A problem that immediately Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd. became apparent was the definition of historical BHP archaeology and of an archaeological site. In compil­ ICCM Institute for the Conservation of ing this bibliography a very broad view has been taken, Cultural Material in the belief that even if many of the works are not ICOMOS International Council on strictly archaeological they will nevertheless be of Monuments and Sites interest to the historical archaeologist. MAAWA Maritime Archaeology Association There is no doubt that this bibliography is incom­ of Western Australia plete. Many references had to be omitted because they N.P.W.S. National Parks and Wildlife were incomplete and many more must remain to be Service discovered. It is hoped that the bibliography contains N.S.W. New South Wales reference to most ofthe historical archaeological proj­ N.T. Northern Territory ects undertaken in Australia where they have been published. However, in all other areas, and particu­ OCCA Oil and Colour Chemists' larly that of reference books, the bibliography does not Association claim to contain more than a small selection ofworks Qld. Queensland available. S.A South Australia The bibliography is in three parts: Tas. Tasmania (A) An alphabetical listing of references, numbered UNE University of New England consecutively. Vic.
