Seven rock shelters have been excavated since last October, distribut- ed from Wee Jasper in the north to the southern tip of the ACT. The excava- tions have involved dozens of post- graduate and undergraduate students from the Archaeology and Natural His- tory and the Archaeology and Anthro- pology departments of the ANU as well as interested researchers and locals. With work likely to continue into May, volunteers are always most welcome!

The collaborative project aims to investigate the radiocarbon dating potential of mineral accretion layers that encase rock-art, utilising the carbon compound found in calcium oxalate, the main mineral in the accretion layer. Dr. Levchenko and Tristen sam- pled 22 mineral accretion lay- ers associated with rock art. Samples have since been analysed in RSES laboratories by Tristen and RSES re- searchers Dr. Penny King and Dr. Ulrike Troitzsch using FTIR, XRD and SEM-EDS technologies. These tech- niques have generated inter- esting data on the content and development of mineral accre- tions. Samples that contained calcium oxalate have been AMS radiocarbon dated at ANSTO facilities by Dr. Levchenko and his team. Re- sults of the age determinations are currently being prepared for publication. These dates will be the first radiocarbon age determinations for an art style, known as Northern Run- ning Figures, assumed to be of mid Holocene antiquity. The research is an ongoing project, headed up by Dr. Christian Reepmeyer and is supported by an AINSE Research Grant, ALNGRA12047P. Cameron, J. 2013.

Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung returns to the Mariana Islands P a g e 3 V o l u m e 4 , I s s u e 1 In February-March 2013, Hsiao-chun Hung and Mike Carson returned to the Mariana Islands in far western Micronesia, searching for more evidence of the oldest human habitation at the House of Taga Site, ca. 3500-3400 BP. Following on their 2011 field-work, they uncovered more than 90 sq m of a very well preserved habi- tation layer, very dense with artefacts and midden, as well as arrangements of post-holes and other structural features. This work confirms that the very first inhabitants in the Marianas made red- slipped pottery of various forms with or without carination, including hundreds of decorated pieces that appeared from the earliest deposit of this site. This excavation produced the largest so far known collection of decorated red-slipped pottery in the Marianas, with beautifully dentate-stamped de- signs highlighted by white lime in-fill. Some early pottery with painting was noticed, too! Certainly, the large amount of decorated pottery can help us to understand more about cross-regional relations. Thanks are due to the funding sources, including both Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and Australian Research Council. Strong support from local scholars and authorities graciously made this pro- ject gain fruitful results. The preliminary results have been invited for presentation at several loca- tions, such as at Archaeology Center of Stanford University (USA) and Northern Marianas Humani- ties Council (Saipan), as well as featured in media such as Radio Australia News and Archaeology Magazine‘s top news story on 14 March 2013. The ANU library is interested in digitizing old Terra Australis and other ANH (and predecessor organizations) publications. Publications will be put online, and acces- sible in the DSpace. The department has donated a copy of each TA we have avail- able but there are a number missing. If you have any ANH publications that you are willing to donate for digitisation please contact Dr. Jack Fenner, jack.fenner@anu.edu.au It is a pleasure to announce that Dr Julien Louys who is currently a post doc at the University of Queensland and Stuart Hawkins who is a PhD candidate in ANH will be joining the Department as Post- doctoral Fellows in July 2013 on the ARC Laureate project 'From Sunda to Sahul: Understanding Modern Human Dispersal, Adaptation and Behaviour en Route to Australia'. These appointments are for 5 years and involve field research through- out Island Southeast Asia. In Other News Congratulations also to ANH’s Dr. Matthew Prebble who from February 1st was appointed acting Convener, for the Masters of Archaeological Science Pro- gram, CASS, ANU. Dr Prebble has been involved in the Program in the past, teaching of the Vanuatu Field School for the program in 2012. Well done Matt!

During her stay she was able to take part in field- work in southern NSW (Bega Swamp) and has prepared two significant manuscripts on the last 20,000 years of environmental change in Yunnan Province for publication. We look forward to ongoing collaboration in the future. At the invitation of Professor San- tamaria, Chief Scientist at the Vati- can, Judith Cameron presented a paper on prehistoric textiles in Southeast Asia to archaeologists and conservators at th Vatican Museum on January 28th 2013. Excavations of burial beneath the Necropolis had produced large frag- ments f woven asb stos cloth and such finds are exceptio ally rare. Prof. Sa tam ria h d read J dith‘s paper ‗Asbestos Cloth and Elites in Southeast Asia’ published in 2000 in the Bulletin of the Indo- Pacific Prehistory Association 2000 19: 47-51 and was interested in archaeological parallels. Judith is currently investigating asbestos fibres from Kamrej in India with Sunil Gupta and tiny fragments from Batujaya, a 2nd century temple site in West Java as part of The Ar- chaeology of Batujaya Project by Prof. Pierre-Yves Manguin (EFEO) and the Urasan Arkeologi Nasional (Indonesia). Her new collaboration with the Vatican Museum dovetails well into Judith‘s Future Fellowship which is concerned with long- distance interaction in Southeast Asia. The Romans, legend has it, would often throw asbestos napkins and tablecloths into the fire to clean them (e.g.: mesothelioma-help- network.com) Pictured: Professor Judith Cameron (Far left) Picture: Farewell lunch at the Dumpling House with members of the ANH Palaeoworks Lab and friends P a g e 5 V o l u m e 4 , I s s u e 1 The working group hope to develop a strong case for funding to support ongoing monitoring of daily pollen counts in cities around Australia and New Zealand. More information on the working group and ACEAS can be found at http://www.aceas.org.au Pollen are routinely used to understand palaeoecological change yet there remains knowledge gaps regarding how modern pollen rain relates to different landscape settings and to different climatic regions. A new study funded through ACEAS (Australian Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis) will provide important infor- mation on the relationship of land cover changes associated with urbanization and rural land management. We know that pollen assemblages can provide a very cost-effective measure perspective of landscape phenological patterns, including identification of invasive allergenic spe- cies. We can also gain insights into how these are driven by current climate pat- terns and potentially map the influence of future climates on pollen production. Ex- panding urbanization and climate change are likely influences of aerobiological distri- bution of allergenic pollens. It is likely that the relative distribution of pollen from clinically important species, will be affected by changes in temperature, precipitation and CO2 concentrations associated with climate change. Simon Haberle attended the first workshop of the working group for "Australian aerobiology to monitor environmental change" met on Stradbroke Island on 11-15 March 2013 to develop a framework for the establishment of a national pollen count monitoring program with the potential to assist with management of patients with allergic respiratory diseases such as hay fever and asthma that can be triggered by airborne pollens, particularly but not exclusively from grasses. The group included leaders in the measurement and analysis of pollens in Australia. This exciting multi-disciplinary team includes scientists and clinicians with expertise ecology, botany, archaeology, climate change science, allergy, immunology, public health and biostatistics. ANH has been involved in a number of aero- biology studies over the last decade in loca- tions such as Darwin, Canberra, Hobart, Brisbane and even the Daintree Rainforest. Library’s Digital Library Program coordi- nated the work of getting the scans made and a million other details. Hanley Cocks and Marilu Vallejo worked on creating catalog records for each title; Arwen Hutt ensured that these records were adapted for metadata describing the digital ver- sions. All of the authors generously gave permission to include their works with- out restriction. Special thanks to scholars who supplied advice, contact infor- mation, missing pages, scans of original plates, loans of original typescripts, and other treasures: Chris Ballard, Philip Gibbs, Terrence Hays, Robin Hide, Allison Jablonko, Ragnar Johnson, Deveni Temu, Paige West, Polly Wiessner and many others. A huge thank you to everyone above—and apologies if anyone has been left off the list. The UC San Diego Library has recently completed a project to digitize and pro- vide online access to fifty-two disserta- tions and theses which document an- thropological (and related) research in Papua New Guinea. With one exception (Kenneth Read’s 1946 master’s thesis) the research was situated in the High- lands. This work was done with permis- sion granted by the authors or their heirs. Funding was provided by the UC San Diego Library. Access is through the Digital Library Collections at https:libraries.ucsd.edu/ digital/ and the dissertations are easily found by browsing “By Collection/ Library” and selecting “Papua New Guin- ea Highlands dissertations” under the “Tuzin Archive for Melanesian Anthro- pology”. Links are also present in the records for individual titles in our library catalog (http://roger.ucsd.edu), most easily found by a keyword search on “Papua New Guinea Highlands Dissertations”. This project could not have happened without help from many people. Janel Kozlowski Fink managed the permission- seeking process.

The 2nd International Contact Rock Art Symposium Contributors have been invited based on their experience researching and writing about con- tact rock art in their respective countries and also for their interest in moving contact rock art research away from purely description-based studies towards a more theoretically-grounded area of specialisation within rock art studies. Our aims are: 1: To share international perspectives on rock art depicting/representing contact between different cultural groups. 2: To explore different approaches to the inter- pretation of contact rock art. 3: To highlight similarities, differences and themes in the nature of representing ‗contact‘ in different parts of the world and at different times. 4: To discuss options for promoting the study and protection of contact rock art globally. This symposium will include a field trip for pre- senters to meet local Aboriginal Traditional Owners and visit important contact rock art sites in Kakadu National Park and western Arnhem Land.
