Under the Shade of a Coolabah Tree: A Second Cache of Tulas From the Boulia District, Western Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

SCIENTIFIC SUBSTANTIATION OF TECHNOLOGY OF PASTA BASED ON FRESHWATER MUSSELS ENRICHED WITH SELENIUM

Harčova Nauka ì Tehnologìâ, 2020
The possibility of using dietary selenium-protein additive "Neoselen" for enrichment of pastes based on mussels with organic selenium has been investigated. The formulation of the pastes involved the use of the soft body of the freshwater mmussels of the
