A pilot study into the geochronological and geomorphic context for the archaeology of Barrow Island, Western Australia

Ingrid. A. K. Ward et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of integrating geological, sedimentological, and archaeological records to understand the cultural site formation and physical dynamics of Barrow Island. The new data provides insights into the island's paleogeography and evolution, while also revealing limitations in our understanding of its past and present physical dynamics.

A burning question: What experimental heating of Australian fauna can tell us about cooking practices in Boodie Cave, Barrow Island, northwest Australia

Kate Moody et al.

Summary: The burning characteristics of Australian faunal bone vary depending on the taxonomy, condition, and heating method. Heating experiments conducted on Australian taxa using different heating methods reveal similarities to previous research, but differences exist in the burning temperature between marine and terrestrial fauna. Earth ovens cause minimal burning, while hearth fires result in non-uniform calcination and fracturing. The low levels of heating observed in the Boodie Cave assemblage suggest post-depositional burning and fleshed cooking, although the exact heating process remains uncertain in the absence of identified combustion features.

Ancient DNA, lipid biomarkers and palaeoecological evidence reveals construction and life on early medieval lake settlements

A. G. Brown et al.

Summary: This alternative approach utilizes DNA metabarcoding, steroid lipid biomarkers, and traditional environmental analyses to provide direct evidence of ancient human occupation from lake sediments. The method has been successfully applied to an early Medieval Celtic settlement in Ireland, revealing a comprehensive site chronology and evidence of various human activities such as crop cultivation, animal farming, and butchery.
