SUMMARY:AACAI WA Sundowner Talk - Dr Fiona Hook
DESCRIPTION:AACAI WA are delighted to present a sundowner talk during National Archaeology Week by Fiona Hook entitled: \nWorked shell in deep time: Methods for identifying cultural modification of shell in Western Australian archaeological sites \nFiona Hook presents a practical framework for identifying culturally modified shell in Aboriginal archaeological sites across Western Australia\, based on recent research at Boodie Cave. Using case studies of scaphopod (tusk shell) beads and Melo amphora (baler shell) knives\, Fiona will outline how worked shell can be distinguished from natural breakage through diagnostic features such as percussion fracture patterns\, structured polish\, use-wear development\, and manufacturing debris signatures. A critical part of this identification process is an understanding of shell taxonomy and the macro- and micromorphological properties of different species\, as these characteristics directly influence how shells fracture\, wear\, and preserve in archaeological contexts. Fiona draws on experimental replication studies\, microscopic analysis\, and comparisons with historical collections to build a robust set of criteria for recognising worked shell. These insights contribute to a broader understanding of symbolic and utilitarian shell working traditions in deep-time Aboriginal coastal economies and offer new tools for identifying often-overlooked components of archaeological assemblages. \n \nSeminar Details: \nWednesday 21st May at 6pm \nThe Albion Hotel\, 535 Stirling Highway\, Cottesloe \nFood will be provided \nPlease make sure to book by Friday the Fri 16th of May! We will not be accepting ticket payments at the venue. \nAACAI Member* $10.00 \nStudent^ $10.00 \nGeneral Admission $20.00 \n*Must be a current financial member\n^Must book with a valid student email address

SUMMARY:AACAI WA Sundowner Seminar - Richard Fullagar and Judith Field
DESCRIPTION:AACAI’s WA Chapter are delighted to present a double-header of talks on grindstone classification and ancient starch residues from Richard Fullagar and Judith Field. \nClassification and Function of Grinding Stones \nRichard will discuss his work on the classification and function of grinding stones\, as articulated in the book (in progress) on Aboriginal ground stone implements. He will focus on a chapter about a convenient typology of ground stone implements for the Murray Darling Basin. Many of these implements have been assessed in studies of form\, function\, technology\, use wear and residues. There are about 25 tool types documented\, with morphological and functional variables\, in a classification system relevant to grinding stones being recorded in the Pilbara\, by the Desert to the Sea team. \nAn Introduction to Ancient Starch Residues and the potential for insights into past plant use \nJudith will present a basic introduction to the study of ancient starch (and perhaps other residues) related to use. Unlike pollen or photolith studies\, ancient starch\, where it is preserved\, can be quite challenging to identify and/or attribute to a plant taxa. Determining whether it is worth going down this track when evaluating a ground or flaked stone assemblage requires consideration of a variety of factors. In providing some insights to analysing starch  as a microfossil may help guide practitioners in deciding if it can be included in their research design. \n \nSeminar Details: \nMonday 17th February at 6pm \nThe Albion Hotel\, 535 Stirling Highway\, Cottesloe \nFood will be provided \nPlease make sure to book by Friday the 14th of February! We will not be accepting ticket payments at the venue \nAACAI Member* $10.00 \nStudent^ $10.00 \nGeneral Admission $18.00 \n*Must be a current financial member\n^Must book with a valid student email address \nAACAI WA is very grateful to the Desert to the Sea Project at the Centre for Rock Art Research + Management for supporting this event.

SUMMARY:ROMANESQUE AND THE MONASTIC ENVIRONMENT VALLADOLID: 8-10 APRIL 2024
DESCRIPTION:The theme of the conference is Romanesque and the Monastic Environment\, and the aim is to examine how and why monastic spaces were created\, embellished and used in the 11th and 12th centuries. While a particular approach to monastic planning can be observed in Carolingian Benedictine circles in the second quarter of the 9th century – one in which ranges were organized on three sides of a garden with the church on a fourth – the extent to which this type of arrangement was widely adopted before the second half of the 11th century is unclear. Nor was it the only type of monastic plan in circulation. Semi-coenobitic orders\, such as the Carthusians\, had little use for ranges\, even if the adoption of a garden surrounded by covered walks on four sides became more or less de rigeur in Latin monastic planning by c. 1100. When cloisters\, chapter- houses\, refectories\, dormitories and work-rooms were established with clear relationships to each other and to the monastic choir\, it becomes possible to speak of a core precinct\, but what of other facilities\, or precincts; infirmaries\, outer courts\, cemeteries\, secondary cloisters\, kitchens and gatehouses?\nWe welcome proposals for papers concerned with the design and functioning of monastic space in architectural\, iconographical and liturgical terms\, along with proposals which address choirs\, their furnishings (stalls\, pavements\, altars)\, definition (screens\, pulpita\, railings)\, liturgical provision\, and accessibility. Is processional use widely shared or locally specific? How and where is imagery used\, or avoided? Should symbolic significance be attached to the appearance of buildings in monasteries beyond the church? Where and how was artistic production arranged? What are the preconditions for change?\nProposals for papers of up to 30 minutes in duration should be sent to Fernando Gutiérrez Baños and John McNeill on romanesque2024@thebaa.org by 30 June\, 2023. Papers should be in English. Decisions on acceptance will be made by the end of July.\nThe Conference will be held at  from 8-10 April\, with the opportunity to stay on for two days of visits to Romanesque buildings in the surrounding area on 11-12 April.
