Raw Material Economisation in Aotearoa New Zealand: Evidence for Manufacture and Recycling of Adzes on Ahuahu Great Mercury Island

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 220-233, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Raw materials are used to characterise the early settlement of Aotearoa Te Wai Pounamu New Zealand by Māori. Current models suggest change in raw material use over time occurred in response to changing social organisation and reduced resource availability. However, few studies have examined spatial variation in raw material use.

Hydrated Silica in Oxia Planum, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Hydrated silica (SiO2·nH2O; opal) is important for understanding the geological and aqueous history and habitability of Mars, owing to its genesis in a wide range of aqueous environments and its high biosignature preservation potential relative to other hydrated minerals.

Investigating sediment dynamics and landscape change processes in the semi‐arid Pilbara, Western Australia – Insights using paired cosmogenic 26Al/10Be ratios

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 10, August 2025.
Cosmogenic 26Al/10Be ratios are used to quantify the spatial–temporal processes of landscape change in the Pilbara since the Plio‐Pleistocene. We compare long‐term catchment denudation rates from bedrock and river sediments and explore the potential mechanisms underlying their complex exposure history through a source‐to‐sink approach.

Heterogenous Si Isotopic Composition in Coastal Groundwater: Controls on Dissolved Silicon and Groundwater Discharge Along Indian Coastline

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract We report stable silicon isotope ratio (δ30Si) of over 80 groundwater samples collected along the Indian coast, spanning a wide range of aquifer lithologies (alluvial, basalt, metamorphic, laterite and limestone), climate (semi‐arid to tropical wet) and land use settings.

A Late Pleistocene Human Pedal Phalanx From the Pinnacle Point PP5‐6N Rock‐Shelter, Western Cape Province, South Africa

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study provides the description and comparative morphometric analysis of a non‐hallucial distal pedal phalanx (PP 654270) excavated from near the base of the LBSR Stratigraphic Aggregate in the Pinnacle Point PP5‐6N rock‐shelter.

Multi‐Century Grindstone Quarrying at Brumby Yard, Queensland

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 176-186, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The timing and duration of prehistoric quarrying is poorly understood within Australia, with limited ages available for quarries owing to the difficulties in dating these rock‐sediment constructions. We report the first multi‐sample, optically stimulated luminescence ages from quarry pits in Brumby Yard, an Aboriginal grindstone quarry ...

Detrital gold morphology and recycling around the early Miocene St Bathans paleovalley, Central Otago, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 245-259, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The St Bathans paleovalley developed as a major southwest‐draining fluvial system during early Miocene rejuvenation of the Central Otago landscape. Rounded quartz pebbles and detrital gold were recycled from Eocene quartz pebble conglomerates into the headwaters of this Miocene paleodrainage system on the northern margin of the Otago Schist ...
