This paper presents the results of excavations at Maidenwell and Gatton Shelters, two rock art sites in S.E. Queensland. The work was undertaken as part of a research project concerned with a major theme in Australian prehistory - the development of social and economic complexity in Aboriginal society (e.g. Lourandos 1983, 1985; Morwood 1984). As foci for a range of symbolic activities, Maidenwell and Gatton Shelters have the potential to yield evidence for changes in the nature and intensity of social interaction, particularly in the context of evidence for economic, technological and demographic change (cf. Conkey 1978, 1980; Gamble 1982, 1983).

Early Note

Sometimes when researching a project, one discovers relevant unpublished material. Recently, while researching the use of trees and their products in Aboriginal society I came across some fading photographs of a manuscript about Aboriginal social life in southeast Queensland which dated to 1844 (Love 1982:110-114). The manuscript was written by G.K.E. Fairholme and it is a contemporary descriptive account of some aspects of the Aboriginal societies of the Darling Downs and Moreton Bay region. Often such finds are simply noted and perhaps cited in part; they are seldom quoted in full. In this case, because the description is relevant to our fuller understanding of Aboriginal life in Southeast Queensland and the archaeological record there, it was considered worthwhile to publish a full transcription.

As práticas sociais desenvolvidas no âmbito do “Projeto Circuitos Arqueológicos de Visitação da Chapada Diamantina/Bahia” enquadram-se nos pressupostos da chamada Arqueologia Pública. Os resultados da vivência efetivada nos seis municípios chapadenses contemplados (Iraquara, Lençóis, Morro do Chapéu, Palmeiras, Seabra e Wagner), deixam transparecer a importância do compromisso social quando a prática arqueológica é desenvolvida em contextos comunitários, nesse caso, em localidades situadas próximas aos sítios de arte rupestre. Trata-se, por conseguinte, de uma reflexão sobre a natureza transformadora da Arqueologia através da interação social e troca de saberes. ARCHAEOLOGICAL PRACTICES IN THE COMMUNITY: Participative Experiences in the Diamantine Plate, in the Framework of the Archaeological Visitation Circuits ProjectABSTRACTThe social practices developed within the scope of the “Chapada Diamantina / Bahia Archaeological Visitation Project” fit the premises of the so-called Public Archeology. The results of the experience carried out in the six contemplated Chapada municipalities (Iraquara, Lençóis, Morro do Chapéu, Palmeiras, Seabra and Wagner), reveal the importance of social commitment when the archaeological practice is developed in community contexts, in this case, in locations located close by to rock art sites. It is, therefore, a reflection on the transformative nature of Archeology through social interaction and exchange of knowledge.Keywords: Archaeological circuits; Rock Arte; Community Archeology.

<p>The <i>Extra-Ordinary Music Camp</i> is a research project whose objectives are: (1) to offer an inclusive environment for musical creation adapted for extra-ordinary youths, and (2) to study how participatory, informal, inclusive, and adaptive musical creation activities impact extra-ordinary youths’ communication and social interaction abilities. The present article addresses adaptations made to the project following the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the originally planned activities. Using viewpoints from four undergraduate and graduate student facilitators who served as session leaders and researchers on the project, the <i>Extra-Ordinary Music Camp’s</i> evolution from an in-person to a remote research project will be described. First, the initial study design is introduced. Then, we detail the ways the project was adapted online as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic: we present the adaptations made to musical training (pedagogical plan), research tools, and modalities of collaboration between team members. Finally, certain preliminary results are presented and contextualized in light of these significant adaptations to the organizational, scientific, and pedagogical plans.<br></p>

This paper details the results of an excavation undertaken at Brooyar Rockshelter, southeast Queensland during August 1987. The Rockshelter was excavated as part of a larger research project focused upon the adjacent coastal region of Cooloola (McNiven 1985). The excavation had two main aims. The first was to establish a chronological framework for backed blades in the Gympie-Cooloola region, thus providing insight into the antiquity of non-stratified open sites with backed blades in the region (e.g. sandblow sites at Cooloola - McNiven 1895:15, 26, 28) (cf. Hiscock 1986). The second aim was to obtain comparative information on subsistence activities located in the hinterland region of Cooloola.

Facial attractiveness plays a key role in social life. Facial attractiveness and smile attractiveness appear strongly linked to one another. The fact is that in social interaction, one’s attention is mainly directed toward the mouth and eyes of the speaker’s face. As the mouth is the focus of communication in the face, the smile plays an important role in facial expression and appearance. Esthetic appearance is extremely subjective and relates to beauty and harmony. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of smile by laymen, orthodontists and Prosthodontists by changing lip size, teeth color and gingival display. This research project was carried out in Saudi Arabia for one year from January to December 2020, following approval by the Institute's Ethics Committee. Materials and Methods: A model was chosen with full permanent dentition, multiple pictures were created and afterwards evaluated by Laymen population, Orthodontists and Prosthodontists. Results: The results of the study reveal that smiles with whiter teeth and thicker lips were judged to be more aesthetic by laypersons compared to orthodontists, and prosthodontists. The minimum amount of gingival display was considered esthetic by the three groups. Perception of Orthodontists and Prosthodontists had no significant difference in gingival display, color of the teeth and thickness of lips.

Improving and modernizing education is a key priority for the EU and its Member States. The main mission of education of the future is: to prepare students for success in a complex and interconnected world facing rapid technological, cultural, economic and demographic change. Knowledge of innovative practices in different European countries allows comparison, consideration of strengths and weaknesses. Innovations, both in Europe and in Bulgaria, are sought and discovered at different levels and in different directions. The presented report has a theoretical character and presents the palette of innovative practices in 12 European countries – UK, Germany, Greece, Estonia, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Sweden. The theoretical overview is the basis of a research project, which is in the process of implementation and has the ambitious goal of linking innovative practices of the Bulgarian school with the preparation of students future teachers.

Bushrangers Cave is the oldest mainland archaeological site so far discovered in the Moreton Region of southeast Queensland. Occupation began approximately 6000 years ago, at a time when the rising seas flooded Moreton Bay and reached their present levels. Several researchers have suggested that after the infilling of the Bay food resources were more plentiful, and that during the last 6000 years there was population growth and a restructuring of Aboriginal society (Hall 1982, 1986; Morwood 1986). At least some of these changes should be visible at Bushrangers Cave and Hall (1986:101) has argued that economic and social reorganization may be reflected in the procurement of stone material by the knappers who left stone artefacts in the cave. Indications that stone from the vicinity of the cave may have been transported some distance during the late Holocene raise similar possibilities (Bird et al 1987). Exploratory excavations and preliminary analysis of the recovered artefacts was reported by Hall (1986), who demonstrated that changes in artefact frequency and raw material type did occur. Further radiocarbon dates and more detailed investigations of the artefactual assemblage are presented in this paper. While a more complete understanding of the site will require the excavation of a larger area, the data described below enable some preliminary conclusions to be drawn about chronological change in stone procurement, stoneworking technology and the nature and intensity of occupation.
