“…While physical traces of Aboriginal pre-colonial presence have progressively disappeared, there is sufficient living Aboriginal knowledge as well as documentation to retrace regime shifts in the landscape after the establishment of the first Europeans. Aboriginal people were employed on farms in the region from the 1830s and there is evidence of campsites persisting independent of colonial settlements (Liebelt, 2016; Walshe et al , 2019). Analysis of toponyms in the region also highlights an extensive presence of Aboriginal land uses (Amery and Williams, 2002) (Figure 2).…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the adaptive capacity expressed by an agricultural region in response to changing conditions as a mean to address the future of cultural landscapes in a time of extreme uncertainty. Through the conceptual framework of biocultural diversity, the work assesses regimes shifts and persistence as a dialectic between natural and anthropogenic components of the landscape.Design/methodology/approachSpecifically, the mechanisms of progressive landscape adaptation are explored by using an integrated method to align manifestations of biological and cultural diversity. Through a multidimensional approach applied to spatial analysis, the study determines a relationship between the footprint of past and modern landscape regimes and contemporary rural management practices in McLaren Vale, South Australia.FindingsThe biological and cultural diversity patterns along riparian corridors, or “biocultural corridors” are indicators of past and current adaptive capacity, which are able to convey novel trajectories of sustainable management in the landscape system.Originality/valueUnderstanding the positive feedback loops between nature and human interactions as represented by their interrelationships in the landscape can inform planning decisions for sustainable agricultural development and enable effective regional long-term trajectories of resilience.

“…Numerous historical and ethnohistorical accounts make it clear that Indigenous peoples across Australia were quick to recognize the potential of glass for making a range of artifacts, including spear points (e.g., Backhouse 1843: 103, 433, 517;Balfour 1903;Bolam 1925: 82;Carnegie 1898;Carter 1798;de Winton 1898: 105-106;Idriess 1937: 59-62;Terry 1925: 264), adzes and other scrapers (e.g., Dawson 1831Dawson : 67, 135, 1935Eden 1874: 54-55;Roth 1899: 69), knives used to incise either human or animal flesh (e.g., Cawthorne 1844: 69; Noble 1879: 64) and razors for shaving (e.g., Gould et al 1971: 165;Wilkins 1928: 24). Although flaked or otherwise utilized glass artifacts are relatively commonly reported in the archaeological literature, they typically occur in small numbers, including often singly, and are rarely subjected to detailed analysis (e.g., Allen and Jones 1980;Bourke 2005;Colley 2000;Foghlú et al 2016;Goward 2011;Harrison 1996Harrison , 2000Irish and Goward 2012;McNiven 1998;Proudfoot et al 1991;Sim and Wallis 2008;Stingemore 2010;Ulm et al 1999Ulm et al , 2009Veth and O'Connor, 2005;Walshe et al 2019;Williamson 2002). There are, however, several notable exceptions.…”

The invasion of the Australian continent by Europeans caused massive disruptions to Indigenous cultures and ways of life. The adoption of new raw materials, often for the production of "traditional" artifact forms, is one archaeological indicator of the changes wrought by "colonization." Two camp sites associated with the Queensland Native Mounted Police (NMP), a punitive paramilitary government force that operated through the latter half of the nineteenth century in the northeastern part of the continent, contain abundant flaked glass artifacts. These were undoubtedly manufactured by the Aboriginal men who were employed as troopers in the NMP, and/or their wives and children. Produced using traditional stone working techniques applied to a novel raw material, these artifacts are a tangible demonstration of the messy entanglements experienced by people living and working in this particularand in some ways unique -cross-cultural context. For the Aboriginal troopers stationed in alien landscapes, the easy accessibility of glass afforded a means by which they could maintain cultural practices and exert independence from their employers, unencumbered by traditional normative behaviors.
