Health effects of European colonization: An investigation of skeletal remains from 19th to early 20th century migrant settlers in South Australia

Angela Gurr et al.

Summary: This study investigated the health of settlers in the British colony of South Australia and compared the findings with contemporary skeletal samples from British cemeteries. The results showed a higher prevalence of manifestations associated with vitamin C deficiency in the St Mary's sample. Additionally, the burial pattern at St Mary's Cemetery reflected changes in the economic status of migrants.

Was it worth migrating to the new British industrial colony of South Australia? Evidence from skeletal pathologies and historic records of a sample of 19th-century settlers

Angela Gurr et al.

Summary: This study examined the pathological evidence of 19th-century settlers to South Australia in the context of an early industrial society. The findings showed that the health of migrant settlers from the St Mary's free ground did not significantly differ from similar populations in Britain or settlers in New South Wales. This suggests that it is characteristic for lower socioeconomic groups in early industrialized societies.

Hidden in plain sight: the archaeological landscape of Mithaka Country, south-west Queensland

Michael C. Westaway et al.

Summary: The ethnohistoric accounts indicate that the people of Australia's Channel Country engaged in unique activities compared to other areas on the continent, such as food storage, aquaculture, and possible cultivation. The collaborative research project initiated by the Mithaka people revealed a diverse archaeological record, including large stone quarries, ritual structures, and dwellings. The study uncovered unknown aspects, like the scale of Mithaka quarrying, which may prompt a re-evaluation of Aboriginal socio-economic systems in ancient Australia.

Source of strontium in archaeological mobility studies-marine diet contribution to the isotopic composition

Maria Lahtinen et al.

Summary: The strontium isotope composition of human tissues is widely used in archaeological mobility studies, but there is often little consideration for the relative contributions of terrestrial and marine sources of strontium. By analyzing the dietary history and potential consumption of aquatic resources, future studies using strontium isotope analysis can avoid making erroneous conclusions about mobility patterns.

Isotopic analyses of prehistoric human remains from the Flinders Group, Queensland, Australia, support an association between burial practices and status

Shaun Adams et al.

Summary: This study conducted the first regional multiproxy isotope study of pre-contact human remains from Australia, revealing the diverse diets of the individuals and the difference in burial practices indicating local versus non-local status.
