Abstract:
This paper examines how the past of desert landscapes has been interpreted since European explorers and scientists first encountered them. It charts the research that created the conceptual space within which archaeologists and Quaternarists now work. Studies from the 1840s–1960s created the notion of a ‘Great Australian Arid Period'. The 1960s studies of Lake Mungo and the Willandra Lakes by Jim Bowler revealed the cyclical nature of palaeolakes, that changed with climate changes in the Pleistocene, and the complexity of desert pasts. SLEADS and other researchers in the 1980s used thermoluminescence techniques that showed further complexities in desert lands beyond the Willandra particularly through new studies in the Strzelecki and Simpson Dunefields, Lake Eyre, Lake Woods and Lake Gregory. Australian deserts are varied and have very different histories. Far from ‘timeless lands', they have carried detailed information about long-term climate changes on continental scales.

Abstract:
The Willandra Lakes form a dry lake system consisting of a number of ancient, formerly perennial, lakes in the western Murray basin. The area has significant scientific value, providing detailed palaeoenvironmental records of arid, ice-age Australia as well as a rich and unique archaeological record. Lake Mungo, resting place of Australia’s oldest dated aboriginal remains, is a terminal lake where studies of the lake system are concentrated. Lake Mulurulu, a flow-through lake in the northern part of the system, is relatively understudied despite abounding potential and a differing hydrological regime. A range of geochronological techniques, combined with stratigraphic and isotope palaeoecological methods, inform the palaeoenvironmental history for the Lake Mulurulu lunette. A comprehensive suite of quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages is combined with detailed sedimentological analyses to build a chronostratigraphic framework. Mussel shells and fish otoliths are radiocarbon dated, and wombat teeth are analysed for electron spin resonance (ESR) and uranium series dating. Oxygen isotope analyses on fish otoliths and wombat teeth are used in an attempt to ascertain high-resolution palaeoenvironmental records for the area. The quartz was well suited for OSL dating. Very little evidence for partial bleaching was observed, though sediment mixing proved to be relatively common. A small aliquot multi-grain OSL methodology allowed the identification of sediment mixing and grain transport across unit boundaries. Many samples were found to be very young (< 200 years), and were disproportionately affected by recuperation issues, low precision and high overdispersion. Dating reveals the Mulurulu lunette comprises five major units. Unit A, dating from 60 to over 110 ka, is clay and carbonate rich with a thick palaeosol, and is equivalent to the Golgol Unit at Lake Mungo. Unit B is a clean quartz sand representing an early lake full stage, initiating around 60 ka and ending around 40 ka at the southern end of the lunette and around 32 ka at the northern end of the lunette. Unit C comprises a pelletal clay representing a drying phase, dated to 40-32 ka and 32-28 ka at the southern and northern ends of the lunette, respectively. Unit D is a 28-17 ka quartz sand representing another lake full stage. A thin, previously unrecognised, pelletal clay layer at the southern end of the lunette caps this unit. Unit E comprises laminated quartz sands derived from reworked lunette materials dating to less than 200 years old, indicating a significant amount of recent lunette remobilisation. Unconsolidated mobile sands are present on the crests and leeward side of the dunes. Oxygen isotope analyses of fish otoliths provided evidence of flood events and potentially a lake drying signal that was not expected in this flow-through lake. The oxygen isotope analyses of wombat teeth on the other hand, proved less successful for gaining insight into high-resolution palaeoenvironmental events. This research provides a new chronology of deposition for the Lake Mulurulu lunette. This forms a similar but distinctive local hydrological history compared to the previous regional understanding, built primarily on the events recorded at Lake Mungo, a terminal lake situated further downstream.

Abstract:
Inland archaeological sites in the Australian arid zone contain few records of past environments. For those archives that do exist, such as sedimentary records, it can be difficult to associate the environmental conditions that they record directly with the time scales of human occupation. At the world heritage site of Lake Mungo, in north western New South Wales, lake shore dunes preserve a record of human occupation, and of alternating phases of wet and dry conditions in the adjacent lake. These two records provide a promising opportunity to generate commensurate behavioural and palaeoenvironmental information. As further surveying of the lunettes is completed and a more detailed and robust chronology using direct Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of the lunettes is constructed, a fuller more nuanced picture of changes in lake level, human occupation and climate will emerge. By finding new samples, new materials and new methods of analysis the chronology of human occupation and lake level changes at Lake Mungo and other Quaternary sites will become more detailed. This study investigates the potential of golden perch otoliths, which are found throughout the shoreline dunes of Lake Mungo, for providing additional detail about lake level fluctuations and general environmental conditions. Fish otoliths are bone-like structures that form in the inner ears of bony fish. They develop by the incremental deposition of calcium carbonate onto an organic matrix, forming annual growth rings. As otolith grow they take up and preserve a record of the trace element and isotopic composition of the ambient water. Some of these chemical markers are affected by changes in water level and temperature. This study analyses the δ18OCaCO3 values and trace element (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios) composition across the age increments of golden perch otoliths. The δ18OCaCO3 values of modern golden perch from tanks of known δ18OH2O values and temperature conditions were used to validate the assumption that golden perch otoliths form in isotopic equilibrium with the ambient water. Further analyses of modern otoliths from river populations of golden perch and from populations who died in an evaporating lake were examined to determine if known flooding and drying events were preserved in their microchemistry. The same analytical methods were applied to a collection of ancient otoliths excavated from the shorelines of Lake Mungo in the 1970s to investigate changes in water conditions (flooding and drying events) through time. These ancient otoliths were also radiocarbon dated to establish a more detailed chronology of the site. This study also investigates how mass balance models and ancient otolith δ18OCaCO3 values can be used to test scenarios of lake level change at Lake Mungo.

Abstract:
This thesis explores ideas about the deep past in Australia in the context of contemporary notions of geological heritage, cultural property, cultural identity and antiquity. Moving between disciplines, localities, stories and timescales it examines the complexities of changing intellectual agenda. But it does not pretend to present a complete history of the earth sciences in Australia. Rather it brings together an array of related themes, places, and stories, that knit into a narrative about the construction and interpretation of signs of age in Australian landscapes. Taking as its starting point the discovery by European settlers in 1830 of the Wellington Caves megafaunal fossils, which first suggested a long chronology for Australian vertebrate fauna, this work considers 'ordinary time' and 'deep time', geological heritage, the appropriation and celebration of deep time by settler Australians, and the naturalisation of narrative and sequence in geological writing. The body of the thesis involves discussion of three landscapes which have been celebrated for the deep pasts revealed in their sediments, landforms and material remains: Hallett Cove and Lake Callabonna in South Australia and the Willandra Lakes in New South Wales. Each of these is regarded as more or less canonical in the respective histories of Australian geology, vertebrate palaeontology and archaeology, but each is also a living historical and geological site where people have lived, interacted with and interpreted the shape of the country for upwards of forty thousand years.
In 2010, material in this thesis was reworked and published as Pictures of time beneath: science, heritage and the uses of the deep past (CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood, Victoria): http://www.publish.csiro.au/pid/6342.htm.

Abstract:
Pictures of Time Beneath examines three celebrated heritage landscapes: Adelaide’s Hallett Cove, Lake Callabonna in the far north of South Australia, and the World Heritage listed Willandra Lakes Region of New South Wales. It offers philosophical insights into significant issues of heritage management, our relationship with Australian landscapes, and an original perspective on our understanding of place, time, nation and science. Glaciers in Adelaide, cow-sized wombats, monster kangaroos, desert dunes littered with freshwater mussels, ancient oases and inland seas: a diverse group of deep-time imaginings is the subject of this ground-breaking book. Ideas about a deep past in Australia are central to broader issues of identity, belonging, uniqueness, legitimacy and intellectual community. This journey through Australia’s natural histories examines the way landscapes and landforms are interpreted to realise certain visions of the land, the nation and the past in the context of contemporary notions of geological heritage, cultural property, cultural identity and antiquity.

Abstract:
This chapter draws on the case study of aboriginal trackways at World Heritage-listed Willandra Lakes Region of New South Wales, Australia to explore how to re-create a unique, charismatic, and vulnerable heritage site by combining 3D technology and storytelling to assist with the virtual presentation of heritage. This chapter delves into the advantages and challenges of innovative 3D scanning methods available to accurately record fossilised Indigenous footprints, providing best practice guidelines on how to best deliver these outcomes in a form of engaging immersive visitor experience. Findings suggest that storytelling techniques improve intensity of virtual experience recreated using 3D scanning techniques through the process of narrative transportation, which elicits emotional arousal and improves emotional engagement with heritage. These findings contribute to the utilisation of 3D technologies and storytelling for AR/VR to create engaging immersive experiences for visitors.
