The Gelam story tells of legendary events that took place at the beach and on the sandy dunefields at Bulbul, and along the hill side and ridge-top at Gerain. The protagonists, Gelam and his mother Usar, undertook various activities in these locations, including hunting and consuming geinau (Torres Strait pigeons, Ducula spilorrhoa) on the ridge- top at Gerain, and camping at Bulbul. This paper reports on archaeological surveys undertaken at Gerain and Bulbul, the area of Gelam and Usar’s homeland, including radiocarbon ages for a series of surface sites.
