Use of Indigenous divers on nineteenth-century northwest Australian pearling luggers gave rise to a transregional apparatus of coercion, physical mistreatment, and arguably, slavery. Where accounts of conditions experienced by divers are limited to the documents of contemporary colonial men, our contribution explores a rare archaeological perspective. Zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of the Bandicoot Bay campsite, Barrow Island, evokes an exploitative labor relationship inherited from a wider colonial process yet actively renegotiated by its participants through subsistence practices. The operation’s pearlers selected a camp that advantaged concerns for labor organization and resource management while their divers seized opportunities for self-directed subsistence.

海洋边境地区食物中的力量:西澳大利亚州巴罗岛上被奴役的珍珠潜水者的动物考古学

在19世纪西北澳大利亚的采珍珠行李箱上使用土著潜水员引起了跨地区的胁迫,身体虐待和有争议的奴隶制。如果潜水员所经历的情况仅限于当代殖民者的文献,我们的贡献将探索一种罕见的考古学视角。对巴罗岛班迪科特湾露营地的动物考古学和考古学分析,引起了剥削性劳动关系,这种劳动关系是从更广泛的殖民进程继承而来的,但其参加者仍通过生存实践积极地进行了重新谈判。该行动的珍珠商选择了一个有利于劳工组织和资源管理的营地,而他们的潜水员则抓住了自我维持生计的机会。
