An Archaeological Survey of Montagu Island, N.S.W.

Report on site surveys on Montagu Island N.S.W. Montagu Island, or Barunguba lies 7km from Barunga point and approximately 10 km southeast of Narooma, New South Wales. Traces of former Aboriginal occupation occur on Montagu Island. This work formed part of a survey of archaeological sites on the N.S.W. south coast conducted, under the guidance of R.J. Lampert, for the Center for Resource and Environmental Studies, A.N.U

Are there prehistoric shell middens on Rottwest Island?

In August 1973 a number of different types of shell bed were observed at Rottnest Island. The most massive of these were seen around the lakes at the eastern end of the island and there is no doubt that these are natural marine shell beds. However elsewhere shelly deposits were seen whose origin we could not determine with certainty. A number of midden like lenses of shell were exposed in road sections, particularly along the north side of the island. All of these deposits displayed some of the characteristics of Aboriginal shell middens

Aboriginal shell middens in the coastal landscape of New South Wales

This thesis is concerned with the nature and distribution of prehistoric Aboriginal shell middens in the coastal zone of New South Wales. As such it is a study in landscape archaeology in which the relationships between the contents and locations of shell middens and the physical environments of coastal New South Wales are considered. Shell middens are investigated within a framework of landscape units in which the New South Wales coastline is divided into four regions, based on geological structure. Eight hundred shell middens recorded over the entire length of the coast line have been used to analyse patterns of content, dimensions, locational variilbles and distribution with respect to these landscape units. From the results of this analysis it is argued that there between she 11 middens and the landscapes in are strong relationship which they occur, and that the coastal landscape has to a considerable extent influenced Loastal prehistory. Because this overview of sites takes no account of different temporal patterns, nor of the degree of site destruction through time, more detailed studies are included to examine these aspects. In addition for the far souch coast, where no detailed archaeological investigation had been carried out previously, a shell midden was excavated. The results of this excavation relate to a number of issues raised within the general overview. These include the relationship between sites in the far south of the coastal zone and those further north, and the change in shell species which is commonly recorded in sites belonging to the recent prehistory of southern New South Wales. The conclusions of the study are wide ranging. There is a strong re1ationship between shell middens and coastal landscapes. In terms of both landscape and archaeology there is a broad division of the coastal zone into a northern and a southern section. Shell midden sites in the north are characteristically estuarine and beach middens, with estuarine sites showing a marked use by their occupants also of terrestrial food resources. Sites in the south are characteristically rocky shoreline middens reflecting an economy heavily dependent on shellfish and fish. Estuarine sites in the south, like those to the north, also commonly show a marked use of terrestrial resources. Sites on the far south coast are also shown to be similar to those from slightly further north including the Sydney region. These similarities encompass their nature, contents, broad chronology and specific locational factors
