Abstract Archaeologists increasingly use large radiocarbon databases to model prehistoric human demography (also termed paleo-demography). Numerous independent projects, funded over the past decade, have assembled such from multiple regions of world. These data provide unprecedented potential for comparative research on population ecology and evolution social-ecological systems across Earth. However, these been developed using different sample selection criteria, which has resulted in...
Abstract A fundamental task of archaeology is to address challenging scientific questions related the complexity human societies. If we are systematically understand processes that affect societies on multiple spatial and temporal scales, research leveraging existing archaeological data essential. However, only a fraction from projects publicly findable or accessible, let alone interoperable reusable. This case despite statements disciplinary ethics, availability capable technologies for...
Geoscience Australia has undertaken a regional seismic mapping study of the offshore Otway Basin extending across explored inner basin to frontier deep-water region. Seismic interpretation covers over 18,000 line-km new and reprocessed data acquired in 2020 program 40,000 legacy 2D data. We present basin-scale isochore maps that show distribution Cretaceous depocentres. Maps for Lower Crayfish Eumeralla supersequences, together with those recently published Upper Shipwreck Sherbrook complete...
The Shipwreck and Sherbrook supersequences together constitute the upper Cretaceous succession in Otway Basin that was deposited during an extensional basin phase. In Trough, where is well explored, gas fields are hosted by Supersequence (SS). Elsewhere, interval lightly deep-water area considered exploration frontier. We present regional gross depositional environment (RGDE) maps for LC1.1 LC1.2 sequences of SS, LC2 SS. Fluvial Plain, Coastal-Delta Plain Shelf RGDEs were interpreted from...
Abstract With generous support from the National Science Foundation, we have spent past four years developing an archaeological radiocarbon database for United States. Here, highlight importance of spatial data open-access, national-scale databases and development paleodemography research. We propose a new method analyzing time series in context paleoclimate models. This forces us to confront one central challenges realizing full potential databases: quality accompanying dates. seek open...
Acreage release by the Australian Government in 2010 offers exploration opportunities frontier Mentelle Basin for first time. The is a large deep-water basin on southwest margin. It consists of large, very deep water (2,000—4,000 m) depocentre west and several depocentres east, depths 500–2,000 m. major are estimated to contain 7–11 km sediments. Initial rifting occurred Early Permian, followed thermal subsidence during Triassic Jurassic. In Middle Jurassic renewed extension led accumulation...
The timing and nature of the initial hominid dispersals from Africa during Plio-Pleistocene (here 2.0-1.5 million years ago [MYR]) is an issue great interest for paleoanthropology. However, biological, technological, ecological context these remains cloudy due largely to a paucity Eurasian paleoanthropological sites dating this time period. Indeed, there are only handful well-accepted Eurasia: Dmanisi in Republic Georgia at 1.77-1.81 MYR (de Lumley et al. 2002), Nihewan Yuanmou basins China...
The southern Caucasus is a critical region for those interested in Palaeolithic research because of its varied topography and location at the crossroads Europe, Africa, Asia. Modern Armenia sits heart this area, but has until now played small role broader debates, largely paucity well-excavated well-dated sites. To improve situation, survey was conducted sites along valley Debed River (Lori Depression, northeastern Armenia). Twenty-three open-air sites, spanning Lower through Upper periods,...
Long-term trends in reference evapotranspiration (ETref) and its controlling factors are critical pieces of information understanding how agricultural water requirements resources respond to a variable changing climate. In this study, ETref, along with climate variables that directly indirectly impact it, such as air temperature (T), incoming solar radiation (Rs), wind speed (u), relative humidity (RH), precipitation (P), discussed. All analyzed for four weather stations located irrigated...
The Browse Basin hosts large gas accumulations, some of which are being developed for conventional liquefied natural (LNG). Extensive appraisal drilling has been focused in the central Caswell Sub-basin at Ichthys and Prelude, along extended Brecknock-Scott Reef Trend; whereas elsewhere basin remains underexplored. To provide a better understanding regional hydrocarbon prospectivity, sequence stratigraphy Cretaceous succession structural framework were analysed to determine spatial...
As part of the Australian Government’s Energy Security Initiative, a new tectono-stratigraphic and petroleum systems study has been carried out in Vlaming Sub-basin on Australia’s southwest continental margin. The included: biostratigraphic revisions for key wells; seismic interpretations reprocessed data; geochemical assessments source rock intervals liquid hydrocarbons; structural restoration sections; and, 3D burial history modelling. Results have significantly improved our understanding...
Archaeology in the United States is conducted by a number of different sorts entities under variety legal mandates that lack uniform standards for data archiving. The difficulty accessing from projects which one was not directly involved indicates an apparent reluctance to archive raw and supplemental information with digital repositories be reused future. There hope additional legislation, guidelines professional organisations, educational efforts will change these practices.
Abstract Tracking broad-scale behavioral patterns using both lithics and faunal remains offers one line of evidence for investigating prehistoric subsistence activities the consequences aggregation increases in population size. Accumulation research, which examines ratio projectile points to cooking pottery sherds from same context, shows a higher areas with lower densities. This pattern holds true when examining assemblages large-game procurement practices A.D. 900 1300 southwestern...
Geoscience Australia has undertaken a regional seismic mapping study that extends into the frontier deep-water region of offshore Otway Basin.

There has been a recent rise in interest from policymakers and commissioners the important role therapeutic communities play supporting some of most traumatised children young people
SummarySeismic interpretation of the Mentelle Basin, coupled with 2.5D gravity modelling has provided information on distribution volcanic material throughout basin and large-scale structure basin. The models suggest presence thinned continental crust in central parts western Basin. Maps showing thickness various igneous facies were used to establish a spatial correlation between crustal thickness. Analogue indicate that volcanism during rifting phases is confined centre extensional zone;...
The use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in the study lithic procurement patterns provides crucial information about energy expenditure and territoriality prehistoric communities. Cost-weight analyses calculate proxy energetic expenditures agents who transport materials from quarry to nearest habitation site. Illustrating values onto maps helps us understand changes toolstone through time. Comparing one time period another also demonstrates when developed sense territoriality. This...
