    CONFERENCE REPORTS WORKSHOP: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF CULTURE CONTACT IN AUSTRALIA AND BEYOND
    Hosted by the Centre for Archaeology, University of Western Australia at Mandurah, Western Australia, 8 December 1999 Rodney Harrison and Alistair Paterson (University of Western Australia) rharriso@cyllene.uwa.edu.au pa t erson@cyllene.uwa.edu.au Introduction Interest in the archaeology of culture contact in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region has a long history, although until recently archaeological studies of cross-cultural interaction between Aboriginal Australians and European settlers have been relatively rare. Allen’s (1969) PhD research considered explicitly the archaeology of contact between Indigenous and settler Australians at the failed settlement of Port Essington on Australia’s northern coast. Mulvaney, in his Prehistory of Australia (1975), devoted a whole chapter to the subject, which he termed ‘protohistory’. Birmingham’s (1992) work at the Wybellena Aboriginal establishment on Flinders Island during the 1970s examined issues of acculturation, resistance and cultural change amongst Tasmanian Aboriginal people who had been forcefully relocated to the settlement during the middle part of the 19th century. Looking further afield, the archaeology of culture contact as a sub-field of the archaeology of global colonization has also long interested archaeologists working in the Americas (e.g. Deagan 1983, Deetz 1963 and 1991, Ferguson and Green 1983, Thomas 1989, 1990 and 1991), South Africa (Schrire 1991), Canada and New Zealand.

    Headlines, songlines, and timelines
    Dr Lesley Head Archaeological research by a joint University of Wollongong and Australian Museum team suggests that Australia may have been first occupied by people before 100,000 years ago. The research, which has received extensive media coverage in the last few months, also provides a date of around 60,000 years ago for a form of rock art known as cupule engraving. This has long been recognised to be the oldest surviving form of rock art in Australia, but has not previously been found in a datable context. Two University of Wollongong researchers, Dr Lesley Head and Mr David Price of the School of Geosciences, have been involved in the project over a number of years, together with Dr Richard Fullagar of the Division of Anthropology at the Australian Museum. In an article appearing in the journal Meanjin , Lesley Head reflects on issues raised by the broader context of the research and the public's reaction to it. That old archaeological dates in Australia are frontpage news tells us more about our own society than about prehistoric ones. Many Australians are now passionately interested in Aboriginal prehistory; it is one of the paths by which we are coming to terms with our own social and ecological role on the continent. But we still conceptualise that history in linear terms that reflect the colonial heritage: we think of timelines with numbers, layers of sediment and ladders of evolution. Where do contemporary Aboriginal people find a place for themselves in a history constructed according to the principles of the Western scientific method? Are they living fossils, exemplars of lifestyles many thousands of years old? Are they examples of "pristine" hunter-gatherers, irrevocable contaminated vb their contact with European society? Is there any compatibility between Dreaming stories of the ancestral past and timelines with dates on them? These disturbing questions are the stuff of daily life for Australian archaeologists and the Aboriginal communities with whom the work.

    Towards an environmental history of the Kimberley region of northwest Australia: Phytolith Analysis at Wallis, L. Department of Archaeology and Natural History Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies The Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 lynley@coombs.anu.edu.au There are limited numbers of Holocene palaeoecological sites in the northwest of Australia, these being largely confined to the coastal lowlands, and even fewer extending into the late Pleistocene. This situation is principally due to deleterious preservational conditions associated with highly seasonal monsoon rainfall patterns, coupled with the lack of suitable depositional sites to be found in this very old and stable landscape. Hiscock and Kershaw (1992:47) have suggested that archaeological sites, particularly rockshelters, may offer one of the best sources of data relating to the environmental history of the region. investigating the vegetation history in the site vicinity. Phytoliths, being silica based microscopic plant fossils, are not subject to the usual processes of decay that tend to destroy organic materials in northern Australian sites. They are, however, significantly different in many aspects to pollen and do not provide the same taxonomic resolution as pollen studies. Taphonomic studies at the site, such as modern phytolith trapping and examination of faecal pellets, have revealed information about the processes of phytolith deposition. These suggest that the grassland component of the assemblage may be largely derived from natural sources, with only minor anthropogenic input. Other phytolith types in the assemblage, such as those that represent the palms and sedges, are probably present as a direct result of human introduction.

      Introduction
      The Centre for Classics and Archaeology at Melbourne offers postgraduate programs at one of the leading international centres for the study of the ancient world. As the only program of its kind in Australia, classics and archaeology draws upon cutting edge research, the world class collection at the Ian Potter Museum and a range of innovative multimedia resources. A number of fieldwork options are provided in which students may gain direct and practical project experience. Students also have the opportunity to study Ancient Greek and/or Latin classical language and they may specialise either in a particular area or pursue broader interests. An articulated structure of higher degree study options exist for students seeking to build on their interests and the knowledge gained in this area. Classics and archaeology students graduate with transferable skills that will draw on the analytical and research knowledge gained in this area of study and which can lead to a variety of career options and pathways. http://www.ahcca.unimelb.edu.au
