Beneath the Top End: A regional assessment of submerged archaeological potential in the Northern Territory, Australia

John McCarthy et al.

Summary: Regional-scale assessments are essential for the management, engagement, and mitigation of submerged archaeological landscapes, but are largely absent in Australia. A novel regional-scale assessment in the Northern Territory has been conducted to address this issue and provide vital baseline data for stakeholders.

Human occupation of the Kimberley coast of northwest Australia 50,000 years ago

Kasih Norman et al.

Summary: This review examines the archaeological data of the Kimberley region in Western Australia, highlighting the correlation between human settlement and climatic and sea-level changes. The study reports the discovery of human occupation in the Widgingarri 1 rockshelter as early as 50,000 years ago, as well as the analysis of stone artifacts from the site.

Framing Australian Pleistocene coastal occupation and archaeology

Kane Ditchfield et al.

Summary: There are few archaeological sites that contain records for Pleistocene coastal occupation in Australia, and two major viewpoints seek to explain why so few sites exist. To reconcile these perspectives, this paper provides a review, discussion, and assessment of the evidence for Australian Pleistocene coastal productivity and occupation.

Towards a regional high-resolution bathymetry of the North West Shelf of Australia based on Sentinel-2 satellite images, 3D seismic surveys, and historical datasets

Ulysse Lebrec et al.

Summary: High-resolution bathymetry data is crucial for marine geoscientists and can be acquired using costly methods. This paper introduces an integrated workflow using satellite images and 3D seismic surveys to produce regional high-resolution digital elevation models. The method was applied in the southern half of Australia's North West Shelf, resulting in a significant improvement over pre-existing regional grids. The vertical and spatial accuracy of the datasets from seismic and satellite-derived bathymetry were assessed, showing promising results for future research projects.
