It is a region best known for its spectacular rock art, and more particularly the striped anthropomorphic figures known as the Lightning Brothers which decorate the walls of some rockshelters in the south of the traditional lands of the Wardaman people. The region is also known for its rich archaeological record, and has been the subject of intensive archaeological study since Davidson's research there in the 1930s. This monograph is based on a PhD thesis submitted at the Australian National University in 2004. It employs foraging theory and recent thinking about the strategic organisation of lithic technology to explore changing settlement and subsistence practices in this region since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Applying this approach to the explanation of assemblage variability in Wardaman Country offers new insights into the possible reasons for technological and social change in this region over the last 15,000 years. Two chapters that originally appeared in the PhD Thesis, one expounding the role of modern Darwinian theory in the explanation of cultural change and another exploring technological provisioning across space in Wardaman Country do not appear in this monograph. The ideas about technological responses to different foraging practices developed in this monograph are tested against assemblage data from four rockshelters located in different parts of Wardaman Country. The results of the study suggest that major changes in lithic technology and land use took place in reaction to increased subsistence risk brought on by declines in the abundance and predictability of resources. These declines may have been triggered by the onset of ENSO-driven climatic variability after 5,000 BP, which appears to have reached its greatest severity in northern Australia between c. 3,500 and 2,000 BP. This study has important implications for our understanding of northern Australian prehistory, including the potential causes of broadly similar technological changes across large parts of the top end, the timing of increased inter-regional contact and the spread of new technologies. It also illustrates the importance of tracking continuity in manufacturing traditions as a means of understanding the kinds of social processes that underlie regional technological changes. lok: 41648904 3 exp: 41648904 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.439 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315385 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 5 exp: 41648904 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-03-22 $t19:21:01.095 201C/01 $004-03-22 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01184398798 208@/01 $a04-03-22 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 8 exp: 41648904 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.444 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315393 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 10 exp: 41648904 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.448 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315407 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 11 exp: 41648904 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.818 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0101492569X 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 13 exp: 41648904 13 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.822 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01014925703 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 21 exp: 41648904 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.465 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315423 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 23 exp: 41648904 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.469 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315431 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 24 exp: 41648904 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.824 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01014925711 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 25 exp: 41648904 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.473 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0100731544X 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 36 exp: 41648904 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.833 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01014925738 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 54 exp: 41648904 54 1 #EPN 201B/01 $022-05-20 $t16:50:46.438 201C/01 $022-05-20 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01107610508 208@/01 $a22-05-20 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 71 exp: 41648904 71 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.841 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01014925754 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 75 exp: 41648904 75 1 #EPN 201B/01 $010-01-18 $t23:06:28.843 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01014925762 208@/01 $a10-01-18 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 107 exp: 41648904 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $022-05-20 $t16:50:46.443 201C/01 $022-05-20 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01107610516 208@/01 $a22-05-20 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 204 exp: 41648904 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.477 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315458 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH lok: 41648904 205 exp: 41648904 205 1 #EPN 201B/01 $013-09-17 $t00:04:01.481 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01007315466 208@/01 $a12-09-17 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt24hb95 $XH
