ARCHAEOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES : Tool-stone selection and resourcing strategies in the Weld Range, Murchison region, WA Other events...
The Weld Range presents an ideal landscape in which to examine the varied importance and use of abundant and diverse stone resources. This seminar will describe my proposed Masters research on this topic. Heritage consultancy data collected by Wajarri Traditional Owners and Eureka Archaeological Research and Consulting, UWA will be used to investigate the process of and motivations for selecting material suitable for stone tool manufacture and the strategies employed by Wajarri people in the past to manage resource availability. This study, in addition to elucidating tool-selection processes at a local level, aims to provide a theoretical and methodological model for investigating resource management elsewhere in the Murchison.
