虽然考古植物学越来越多地成为大洋洲考古项目的一部分，但侧重于木炭宏观遗骸的具体分支学科（炭疽学）在澳大利亚和太平洋地区仍然是一个非常不发达的研究领域。为了启动一个区域框架的煤，我们在这里提出了一个审查的基础上，木炭分析，已在大洋洲的研究，然后我们提出了煤的原则和方法，在世界其他地区的发展。我们使用三个最近的案例研究，从新喀里多尼亚，热带和半干旱的澳大利亚，说明在该地区的应用炭疽学方法。最后，我们考虑了该学科在大洋洲成功发展的潜力，讨论了确定的挑战和前景，以解决该地区的关键考古问题。我们认为，这门学科有潜力在一个网站上的古环境条件和古民族植物学的做法，也可以提供有关流动模式和资源管理在过去的见解。
While archaeobotany is increasingly part of archaeological projects in Oceania, the specific sub-discipline focusing on wood charcoal macro-remains (anthracology) continues to be a much underdeveloped field of research in Australia and the Pacific. To initiate a regional framework for anthracology, we present here a review of studies based on wood charcoal analyses that have been implemented in Oceania, and we then present anthracological principles and methods developed in other parts of the world. We use three recent case studies, from New Caledonia, and tropical and semi-arid Australia, to illustrate the application of anthracological methods in the region. Finally, we consider the potential for the discipline to be successfully developed in Oceania, discussing identified challenges and prospects for anthracology to address key archaeological questions in the region. We argue the discipline has the potential to throw light on both palaeoenvironmental conditions and palaeoethnobotanical practices at a site, and can also offer insights in relation to mobility patterns and resource management in the past.
