Abstract

This research project ‘The historical archaeology of the post-European period in the Pilbara, Western Australia’ begins a regional synthesis of the historical archaeology of post-European settlement life in this remote region in the northwest of Australia. This study involved field investigations of archaeological evidence for historical coastal settlements; activities to do with the Indian Ocean, mainly pearling and whaling; the establishment of the pastoral industry in this remote region; and the residential and working lives of Asian, Aboriginal and European peoples. This paper reports on the genesis of this project, provides an overview of fieldwork and sites, and presents some preliminary findings.
