Aboriginal manufacture and use of pottery was unknown in Australia prior to European settlement, despite well-known ceramic-making traditions southern Papua New Guinea, eastern Indonesia, the western Pacific. The absence ancient mainland has long puzzled researchers given other documented deep time exchange networks across continent close proximity pottery-bearing Lapita post-Lapita maritime communities Pacific with ocean-going watercraft sophisticated navigation abilities. We report oldest...
Abstract Aim Knowledge of the drivers ecosystem changes in past is key to understanding present responses climate, fire regimes and anthropogenic impacts. Northern Hemisphere‐focussed studies suggest that climate human activities drove turnover during Holocene temperate ecosystems. Various have been invoked explain Southern Hemisphere vegetation, but region lacks a quantitative assessment these drivers. To better understand regional diversity, we meta‐analysis study richness lateglacial...
A Late-glacial–Holocene pollen record was obtained from a 3.96 m sediment core taken Lake St Clair, central Tasmania. Modern vegetation and analyses formed the basis for interpretation of climate history. Following deglaciation before ca. 18450 yr BP Podocarpus lawrencei coniferous heath Astelia–Plantago wet alpine herbfield became established at Clair. distinct Poaceae-Plantago peak occurs between 11210 mean annual temperature depression 6.2°C to 3°C below present is inferred this period....
Abstract Understanding the long-term interactions between people and ecosystem in which they live is vital for informing present-day management plans. The use of pollen data palaeoecological reconstructions often limited by low taxonomic resolution pollen, reduces detail human influence on past vegetation. This true Australia where Myrtaceae, particularly Eucalyptus species, dominate landscape, but their difficult to differentiate. We present a record with high Myrtaceae from Bass Strait...
The establishment of Tasmanian Palawa/Pakana communities ~40 thousand years ago (ka) was achieved by the earliest and farthest human migrations from Africa necessitated migration into high-latitude Southern Hemisphere environments. scarcity high-resolution paleoecological records during this period, however, limits our understanding environmental effects pivotal event, particularly importance using fire as a tool for habitat modification. We use two Bass Strait islands to identify initiation...
