    10 Bird, mammal and reptile remains Trevor H. Worthy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of New South Wales Geoffrey Clark Department of Archaeology and Natural History, The Australian National University Introduction This chapter reports the non-fish remains from 10 archaeological excavations on Viti Levu and the Lau Group, including the reanalysis of a bird-bone assemblage from Lakeba Island excavated previously by Simon Best (1984). Bone remains from Natunuku and Ugaga were uncommon and the small assemblages were misplaced during collection relocation after bushfires destroyed the ANU archaeological storage facility in 2003, and these assemblages are not considered further. Three of the non-fish faunal assemblages are from the Lau Group (Qaranipuqa, Votua, Sovanibeka), one is from the north coast of Viti Levu (Navatu 17A), and the remainder are from the southwest Viti Levu region (Malaqereqere, Tuvu, Volivoli II, Volivoli III, Qaraninoso II) and Beqa Island (Kulu). This chapter presents the non-fish fauna from the Lau Group, followed by that from Viti Levu and Beqa Island. Faunal analysis began early in Fiji, with bone remains identified at Navatu and Vuda on Viti Levu by Gifford (1951:208–213). Gifford’s excavations demonstrated that pig, dog, chicken, turtle, fruit bat and humans were consumed during the ‘early period’ of Fiji. The study of archaeofauna declined after this promising start due to the absence of prehistoric fauna in sites such as Sigatoka and Karobo (Palmer 1965; Birks 1973), and the cursory identification of bone remains at sites like Yanuca and Natunuku (Birks and Birks 1978; Davidson et al.

Wildlife Conservation Society/University of the South Pacific/Fiji Department of Fisheries/Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, Suva, Fiji, 22 pp. Executive Summary This report details findings from a 24 day survey of sea cucumber resources and the status of the fishery from 10 islands (Cicia, Fulaga, Kabara, Mago, Matuku, Moala, Totoya, Tuvuca, Vanua Vatu, Vanuabalavu) in Lau Province, Fiji. The surveys were conducted by staff from the Fiji Department of Fisheries, the Institute of Applied Sciences and the Wildlife Conservation Society as part of the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation Global Reef Expedition between June 2 and 27, 2013. Direct in-water resource assessments were carried out using standardized protocols developed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) Regional Fisheries Observatory program. These data were combined with fisher perception surveys, measurements of dried bêche-de-mer processed in villages, and general observations from community discussions to assess the overall status of the fishery. Within species densities of commercially important sea cucumber species across individual islands surveyed ranged from 0 – 132.81 individuals ha-1. Densities were below SPC regional indicator values for all species except for Pearsonothuria graeffei (flowerfish).

  • Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group
    Archaeological History of a Fijian Island: Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group MARÍA Cruz BErrocal, Antonio UriartE GONZÁLEZ, SIDSEL MILLErstrom, SUSANA CONSUEGRA RODRÍGUEZ, Juana PÉREZ-ARIAS, AND Santiago ORMEÑO introduction In 2007, we started a project to record rock art in Fiji (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013; Millerstrom and Cruz Berrocal 2009, 2010), focusing in 2008 on a site called Vatu Vola that had been discovered in 2006 in the Naisogorourou area on Moturiki ( pers. comm. Jone Balenaivalu, 13 September 2007). We designed our fieldwork there as a selective survey to understand the mechanisms of landscape construction associated with the making of rock art on small islands. The survey and further archaeological explorations of Moturiki rendered significant data and raised research questions presented in this article (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013). Moturiki is one of the islands in the Lomaiviti group in central Fiji. The island’s surface is 1473 ha, including 1130 ha of mainland and 343 ha of mangrove (calcula- tions based on the cartographic base listed below). It is a volcanic outlier of Ovalau (Fig. 1). As a high island with maximum altitudes around 120 m (116 m according to the Digital Terrain Model of the island; source GDEM, below), it has a diversified landscape and, especially in the south, the topography is remarkable (Fig. 2). This set- ting provides different landscape contexts for archaeological inquiry. In addition, Mo- turiki has one of the oldest Lapita settlements (including a burial) found so far in Fiji ( Nunn et al. 2007), thus one of a limited number of sites with Lapita remains that can be analyzed ( Petchey et al.

The objective of the survey was to bring together as much information as possible on hunters’ experiences and perceptions on the local behaviour of coconut crabs. Information from hunters will aid in determining the timing and location for conducting fishery-independent surveys of coconut crab popula- tions across the region. Information in the form of seasonal variation in abundance, breeding, aggregations and hunting pressure will be pertinent to correctly planning and implementing a baseline survey that can be used to introduce efficient and effective management of coconut crab populations across Fiji.

  • This Keyword List Contains Pacific Ocean (Excluding Great Barrier Reef)
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 3/2/2016 Pacific Ocean (without the Great Barrier Reef) This keyword list contains Pacific Ocean (excluding Great Barrier Reef) place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Pacific Ocean (without Great Barrier Reef)” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.
