Summerhayes1,2 , and Yi-lin Elaine Chen1 1 Archaeology Programme, School of Social Sciences, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2 School of Social Science, University of Queensland, St Lucia QLD 4072, Australia Abstract. Summerhayes has argued that changes in the mobility of Lapita communities within the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea is reflected in numerous aspects of their pottery assemblages. Such changes are seen most markedly in a reduction in the number of clay and temper combinations over time, which indicates less movement across the landscape to collect clays and tempers for pottery production. This pattern was identified in the Arawe Islands and Mussau Islands, and more tentatively in the Anir Islands of southern New Ireland Province. This research reviews and re-interprets the previous studies of the Anir pottery assemblages through mineralogical and geochemical analyses to test whether the Arawes and Mussau model applies in this region. Previous work upon pottery assemblages from the Tanga islands is also brought into the discussion as a means of comparison and to identify possible exchange relationships between the Anir and Tanga groups. Introduction This pattern was first identified in the Arawe Islands assemblages, whereby the ratio of dentate stamped wares and Extensive research by Anson (1983, 1986), Hunt (1989) the vessel forms primarily associated with such decoration and Summerhayes (2000a, 2000b, 2000c, 2003, 2010) upon (bowls and stands) declined over time from the Early Lapita ceramic assemblages from sites of the Bismarck to Middle Lapita periods, while vessels without dentate Archipelago of Papua New Guinea, has begun to isolate stamping, such as outcurving jars, remained the same in clear differences between Early Lapita ceramic assemblages terms of decoration and numbers (Summerhayes, 2000a: and those from Middle/Late Lapita contexts.

Similar observations were made stem from both the function of the ceramic assemblages and with preliminary research undertaken on material from the changes occurring within Lapita society.

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity and its Determinants in Island Melanesia Abstract For a long time, many physical anthropologists and human geneticists considered Island Melanesian populations to be genetically impoverished, dominated by the effects of random genetic drift because of their small sizes, internally very homogeneous, and therefore of little relevance in reconstructing past human migrations. This view is changing. Here we present the developing detailed picture of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in eastern New Guinea and Island Melanesia that reflects linguistic distinctions within the region as well as considerable island-by-island isolation. It also appears that the patterns of variation reflect marital migration distinctions between bush and beach populations. We have identified a number of egionallyr specific mtDNA variants. We also question the widely accepted hypothesis that the mtDNA variant referred to as the ‘Polynesian Motif’ (or alternatively the ‘Austronesian Motif’) developed outside this region somewhere to the west.

Two types of venting are observed.Ž. 1 Focused discharge of a clear, two-phase fluid from discrete orifices, 10±15 cm in diameter. Discharge temperatures are between 89 and 988C and estimated flow rates are as high as 300 to 400 lrmin.Ž. 2 Dispersed or diffuse discharge that consists of streams of gas bubbles ubiquitous in the area. The composition of the gas is mainly CO222Ž. 92.6±97.9% with minor amounts of N Ž.Ž. 2.2±4.7% , O 0.43±0.73% , ; CH4 Ž. 0.6±2% and He Ž0.01±0.02% . Based on their geographic position and chemical composition, the vents have been divided into two groups, A and B. Area B vents have higher K, Rb, Sb, Cs, Tl, and As and lower Ca, Li, Mn, Fe, and Sr concentrations. Their chemical difference is likely caused by subsurface mixing of a CO2 -rich water with a deep reservoir neutral chloride fluid in varying proportions.

    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands

    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.

I testify that the material herein has not been previously submitted in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Jeff Kinch Supervisory Panel Prof Nicolas Peterson Principal Supervisor Assoc Prof Simon Foale Co-Supervisor Dr Robin Hide Co-Supervisor Abstract This thesis is both a contemporary and a longitudinal ethnographic case study of Brooker Islanders. Brooker Islanders are a sea-faring people that inhabit a large marine territory in the West Calvados Chain of the Louisiade Archipelago in Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea. In the late 19th Century, Brooker Islanders began to be incorporated into an emerging global economy through the production of various marine resources that were desired by mainly Australian capitalist interests. The most notable of these commodified marine resources was beche-de-mer. Beche-de-mer is the processed form of several sea cucumber species. The importance of the sea cucumber fishery for Brooker Islanders waned when World War I started. Following the rise of an increasingly affluent China in the early 1990s, the sea cucumber fishery and beche-de-mer trade once again became an important source of cash income for Brooker Islanders.
