Abstract

The study of glass trade beads from various archaeological contexts, including contact and post-contact sites in North America, has been constructive in both advancing analytical methods and also in understanding past cultural entanglements (Hancock 2013); nonetheless, corresponding finds and reported studies from Australian Indigenous site contexts – such as rock-shelters and middens – are comparatively rare, occurring in reported quantities numbering less than 300 to date, and are largely constrained to western Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory (NT) (Allen et al. 2018; James et al. 2017; Litster et al. 2018; Wesley and Litster 2015a, b; Fig. 1).
