- W363025517 abstract "An integrated residue and use-wear analysis of the backed artefact component of the stone assemblage at Turtle Rock revealed the presence of aquatic plant residues on a signifi cant number of the artefacts. Since these were often associated with used edges and other, non-diagnostic, plant remains, the most obvious inference was that the tools had been used to harvest aquatic plants, possibly the common reed (Phragmites spp.) or bulrush (Typha spp.). Ethnographic evidence for the use of reeds for subsistence and craft activities in the recent past provided support for the archaeological evidence. However, further research into the post-excavation history of the artefacts indicated that the excavated deposits had been wet-sieved in a nearby waterhole. Thus, visible plant and other residues from a freshwater environment, which could point to use of the artefacts for harvesting reeds or other aquatic plants, could also be the result of post-excavation contamination. Ambiguities in the analytical results created by wetsieving prevented clear inferences for artefact use at the site. The implication of these fi ndings for the residue and use-wear analyst is that access to site reports and accurate information on excavation, postexcavation and curation procedures are crucial for informed interpretation of archaeological residues on artefacts. Introduction This paper discusses the signifi cance of the presence of diatom and sponge residues on a signifi cant number of backed artefacts from Turtle Rock, a rockshelter in the Central Queensland Highlands. An integrated residue and use-wear analysis of 21 backed artefacts from the site was undertaken as part of a research project which addressed the question of backed artefact use in eastern Australia during the mid-to-late Holocene through an analysis of artefacts from six different sites (Robertson 2005). While 18 of the artefacts at Turtle Rock gave clear indications of use and the remaining three exhibited slight evidence of use in the form of use-wear, 12 artefacts were unable to be assigned to a specifi c task. The presence of aquatic plant residues, including freshwater diatoms and sponge spicules, on a signifi cant number of the artefacts, often in association with used edges and other, non-diagnostic, plant remains, suggested many of the tools had been used to harvest aquatic plants, possibly the common reed (Phragmites spp.) or bulrush (Typha spp.). However, further research into the post-excavation history of the artefacts indicated that the excavated deposits had" @default.
