An objective of the study is to identify a methodology through which elements of cultural continuity and adaptation are able to be identified and located in time,	6238
Wright was caught in the 1840s depression and became insolvent but was able to husband his estate sufficiently to establish himself on his squatting run at Cuppacumbalong (part of the Lanyon estate).	6314
de Salis was able to "quarantine" hostile selectors and accommodate "friendly selectors".	6324
As Leopold de Salis operated through the provisions of the various Crown Land Acts (which he as an MP was able to shape),	6328
Alumni were able to view Chemawa in a positive light because students molded their boarding school experiences to fit their needs.	7250
he was able to achieve what other Christian leaders of his time could not: a Christian theory of the inevitability of personal evil and the cosmological implications for the role played by predeterminism in the doctrine of predestination.	9340
together with human Judaeo Christian experience carries the aim of discerning and presenting an interpretation of the nature of GodÕs immutability which appears best able to afford some reconciliation of the traditional viewpoint with biblical revelation and personal religious experience.	9412
evidence was found that clinicians do generally abide by best practice guidelines and are able to accurately diagnose individuals experiencing a psychiatric emergency.	9812
It is hoped that the whanau under study will be able to explicitly recognise those characteristics that form Maori identity within their whanau and affirm that the cultural practices that they have maintained have contributed to maintaining Maori identity in the 1990s.	10224

they may be able to reap the benefits of international financial aid and technology transfers.	12936
our infrastructure has deteriorated at a faster rate than we have been able to maintain it.	13618
It is obvious that in the present there are various new players that were able to take advantage of their location and the high technological changes to improve their port performance while Lebanon was still trying to recover from its destroying war.	14012
The advance in technologies and the move to containerized traffic have rendered old port structure completely obsolete in favor of new ports that are able to cater for the new needs of this century.	14016
According to the analysis we will have to determine on what basis the port can compete and what he has to do internally and externally to be able to gain a certain niche of the market.	14024

insiders may possess more important non-public information in such firms and thus outside investors are more likely to make abnormal returns following the insider trades in such firms.	17028
thirty catastrophic events were aggregated into quintiles and the cumulative abnormal returns around these events were found to be significantly positive over a 25 day trading window.	18364
A value-weighted investment strategy would have earned an abnormal return of 10.	18918
the abnormal return is still 4.	18922

Aboriginal people continued to use traditional camping places well into the period of European settlement.	5596
This main aim of this thesis is the construction of predictive models of Aboriginal archaeological site location in the Melbourne metropolitan area.	5606
Existing information from Aboriginal Affairs Victoria sites database was the primary source of data for the predictive modelling exercise.	5608
This thesis presents the conclusions of a variety of scientific and archaeological techniques used to investigate ancient Aboriginal subsistence patterns in southeastern South Australia.	5624
particular focus is drawn to the Aboriginal burial site located at Swanport.	5626
The primary aim was to combine the results from these disciplines with the outcome of a stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis programme to decipher ancient Aboriginal dietary patterns.	5630
The isotopic and osteological analyses focused on the Swanport human skeletal collection and permitted investigation of ancient South Australian Aboriginal lifeways in an inland riverine habitat.	5632
A map of isotopic variability for plants and animals that may have been consumed by Aboriginal people living at Swanport was developed and nutritional analysis produced a model that could test hypothetical diets inferred from stable isotope analysis.	5640
The current study provides additional insight into ancient Aboriginal subsistence patterns in South Australia including an improved understanding of isotopic variability in human bone collagen.	5662
The results confirm the validity of using stable isotope analysis as a means of increasing the knowledge base of past Aboriginal lifeways.	5666
These studies are able to benefit both the Aboriginal people and the wider community.	5666
A multi-disciplinary approach has particular relevance for studies of riverine and coastal areas and also highlights the potential and importance of using stable isotope analysis in confirming the provenance of Aboriginal human skeletal material in South Australia.	5668
This thesis examines the dynamics of regional Aboriginal behaviour in northwest central Queensland as it is indicated by several scales of spatial patterning in archaeological evidence.	5670
Such tools offer potential benefits to the research and management of Aboriginal cultural heritage.	5720
there is no archaeological evidence to date of any large-scale resource procurement and storage that could lead to controlled resource management in these precontact Australian Aboriginal societies.	5828
Surface scatters of stone artefacts are the most ubiquitous feature of the Australian Aboriginal archaeological record,	5834
yet the most underutilized by archaeologists in developing models of Aboriginal prehistory.	5836
and the lack of a suitable chronological framework for investigating Aboriginal ‘use of place’.	5838
While surface stone artefact scatters lack the stratigraphy usually considered necessary for establishing the timing of Aboriginal occupation,	5856
the gaps are interpreted to indicate that Aboriginal people moved into and out of these places intermittently throughout the mid to late Holocene.	5880
Models of Aboriginal hunter-gatherer behaviour and settlement patterns must take account of these discontinuities in an archaeological record that is controlled by geomorphic activity.	5886
into the interpretation of spatial and temporal patterns of Aboriginal hunter-gatherer ‘use of place’.	5892
which have ultimately impacted on the way that the history of the pastoral industry in the southeast Kimberley has been experienced by both Aboriginal and settler pastoralists.	5916
While it was my intention to study the archaeology of encounters between Aboriginal and settler pastoralists in the southeast Kimberley,	5918
and to an understanding of the agency of Aboriginal people in developing hybrid social structures within the context of the pastoral industry in the Kimberley.	5924
surface collection and excavation focussed on a series of historic Aboriginal pastoral worker’s encampments associated with the Old Lamboo Homestead site.	5930
Aboriginal people provided detailed accounts of the history and importance of Old Lamboo and its material remains.	5930
This allows me to analyse the ways in which both the spatial and the social order of the pastoral property was used in the past (and present) by Aboriginal ‘insiders’ to develop new,	5936
Western Australia and synthesise previously reported archaeological evidence from the inland Pilbara to answer two questions about Aboriginal occupation.	5960
Australian Aboriginal and hunter-gatherer impacts on the environment have been widely debated in anthropological and scientific circles.	6088
Wherever Aboriginal people are considered as agents of change,	6092
They way in which vegetation responds to fire and other factors influences our perception of the nature and degree to which Aboriginal people live within,	6094
Ecological processes and Aboriginal environmental interactions from the Keep River region of the Northern Territory are examined in this thesis using three methods: biogeographic,	6100
They provide key habitats for mixed savanna assemblages and for monsoon rainforest assemblages and were important traditional and post-European camping places for local Aboriginal people.	6108
except one re-occupied and managed by the Marralam Aboriginal community since the late 1980's.	6114
The decline in cultural fruit seed deposition and the contemporary disparity in fruit species viability across the region can be explained by a significant shift in fire regimes and Aboriginal occupation since European arrival.	6128
Monsoon rainforest patches and yam species are examined through the memory of traditional Aboriginal custodians.	6132
The recent change in distribution and abundance of important traditional food plants has significant consequences for Aboriginal attachments to country.	6140
In this thesis I illustrate a complex picture of continuity and change in Aboriginal interaction with the environment of the Keep region over the past 3500 years.	6142
I argue that Aboriginal people have in the past,	6144
adaptation and the maintenance of cultural continuity occurred in one Aboriginal community during the transition from a mobile hunting and gathering lifestyle to a less mobile lifestyle in station camps.	6236
In that region most of the Aboriginal population were incorporated into the hierarchical structure of the pastoral industry during the first eighty years following European colonisation in the 1980s.	6242
The main aims of this research were to identify the distribution of potential sources of flaked stone found in Aboriginal archaeological sites in Australia's Sydney region,	6340
Aboriginal hunter-gatherer economy and territorial organisation in Western Australia's lower South-west is assessed through review of ethnohistoric and archaeological records,	6388
This provides the systemic framework for Aboriginal hunter- gatherer adaptation in the study area at the outset of British settlement and for an unknown,	6410
Late Holocene lake and wetland formation or expansion on the coastal plains probably also affected Aboriginal economy.	6432
Selected attributes are tested in this thesis in order to determine whether leaving out the quartz portion of an assemblage would result in missing important aspects of Aboriginal behaviour.	6580
This is an ethnoarchaeological study of style in the visual arts of Aboriginal people living in the Barunga region of the Northern Territory,	6676
