摘要: Resins and gums were an important resource for Indigenous Australians commonly used to haft stone blades timber handles in the manufacture of axes, spears, knives, adzes. Based on archival research, analysis museum records situ field trials, we reconstruct geography historic spinifex resin use as well other plant exudates Queensland, eastern Australia. Results indicated that was probably restricted semi-arid zone north Tropic Capricorn. Toward coast subhumid tropical areas, a variety tree used. By adopting interdisciplinary approach coupling research with data, this study contributes better understanding traditional
