NEW SERIES
Studies in Australasian Historical Archaeology

Port Essington: The historical archaeology of a north Australian nineteenth-century military outpost
by Jim Allen

In 1966 Jim Allen undertook the first professional archaeological excavation of a European site in Australia, investigating the 1840s military settlement of Victoria, established at Port Essington. explored the history and archaeology of the short-lived settlement, tackling for the first time many of the themes which continue to underlie historical archaeological research - isolation, the responses of poorly equipped and inexperienced colonists, material culture and trade networks, the impact of inept government bureaucracies, disease and health, and relations with the Indigenous population.   Allen’s main theoretical thrust concerned the problems of integrating written and archaeological data, which remains a central issue in the discipline of historical archaeology in Australasia.  

Recognised for 40 years as a pivotal study in Australian historical and contact archaeology, ASHA’s publication of Port Essington makes this important and still highly relevant work widely available for the first time. The volume is published complete with the original data tables and graphs and is lavishly illustrated, with a retrospective by Jim Allen (now Emeritus Professor in the School of Historical & European Studies in La Trobe University). Port Essington will appeal as a reference book to both students and professional archaeologists.

Monographs
An Archaeological Guide to British Ceramics in Australia, 1788-1901
By Alasdair Brooks

This volume offers a readable and practical guide to the archaeological analysis of British ceramics found in Australia from the beginning of European settlement at Sydney through to Federation. Intended for students and experienced researchers alike, it presents the latest in international ceramics research in a manner relevant to Australasian archaeologists.

The core of the book is a glossary of terms and guide to the identification of ware, form, and decoration. Additional chapters present guidelines on field and laboratory methods pertaining to the processing and cataloguing of ceramics; a review of the history of ceramics analysis in Australia, North America, and the United Kingdom; a model for ceramics analysis; and thoughts on the interpretive analysis of ceramics assemblages based on economy, status, function and meaning.

The most common wares, decorations and forms found on Australian colonial sites are illustrated in text and on an accompanying CD. Appendices feature additional information of use in identifying British ceramics in Australia, including a list of known British manufacturers and their dates of operation whose materials have been recovered from Australian sites; a ceramics time line cross-referenced to significant dates from colonial
