  • Yosihiko Sinoto and the Hawaiian Fishhook Typology
    Amanda Landis ANTH 464: Hawaiian Archaeology Dr. T. Hunt 10 April 2007 The Quiet Revolutionary: Yosihiko Sinoto and the Hawaiian Fishhook Typology Yosihiko Sinoto is not an international anthropology superstar. He is not famous - - or, at least his name is not instantly recognisable. Even his mentor Kenneth Emory is more illustrious. It is difficult to find his work in public and popular forums, such as the internet, unless you know exactly what you are looking for. However, with Yosi Sinoto first impressions -- even the lack of them -- are deceiving. Sinoto is, arguably, one of the most important archaeologists working in Oceania. Many modern accepted wisdoms of the ancient long distance-voyaging are based on the work Sinoto did throughout the Pacific. Sinoto’s definitive work throughout the Hawaiian Islands and French Polynesia established not only a chronology of settlement for Hawaii, but for migration in the Pacific as well. In Hawaii, however, Sinoto is most famous for his work with fishhooks. Sinoto believed that fishhooks could be used as a marking point on a cultural sequence -- specifically, using fishhook types to create a relative chronology. With fellow archaeologists Kenneth Emory and William J. Bonk, Sinoto was able to use fishhooks to create a settlement timeline for Eastern Polynesia as well as prove origins and inter-island interactions of the ancient people of Oceania. Even though some of Sinoto’s methods and 1 theories may have fallen out of favour, Yosi Sinoto’s work with Hawaiian fishhooks remains influential to this day. Born in Japan in 1925, Yoshiko Sinoto, the son of a scientist, became entranced by archaeology at a young age.

    THE JOURNAL OF THE POLYNESIAN SOCIETY VOLUME 127 No.3 SEPTEMBER 2018 VOICES ON THE WIND, TRACES IN THE EARTH: INTEGRATING ORAL NARRATIVE AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN POLYNESIAN HISTORY PATRICK VINTON KIRCH 2018 Nayacakalou Medal Recipient University of California, Berkeley The Polynesian peoples have long been noted for their propensity to encode the rich traditions of their ancestors in oral narrative accounts, often memorised by priests or other specialists, and passed down orally from generation to generation. Anthropologists refer to these as oral traditions, oral history or oral narratives, although they are also often categorised as “legend” or “myth”, terms that tend to dismiss their value as witnesses of real human affairs—that is to say, of history. In this lecture, I focus on a particular form of Polynesian oral narrative or oral history—one that is fundamentally chronological in its structure in that it is explicitly tied to a genealogical framework. Now I confess that I am not a specialist in oral tradition, a subject that is sometimes subsumed under the discipline of “folklore”. I am by training and by practice, over nearly half a century now, an archaeologist first and foremost. But I am also an anthropologist who believes in the holistic vision of that discipline as conceived by such disciplinary ancestors as Alfred Kroeber and Edward Sapir at the beginning of the 20th century. While this may make me something of a living fossil in the eyes of younger scholars who hew to narrower subdisciplinary paths, my holistic training and predilections incline me to see the value in working across and between the different branches of anthropology.

  • Necker and Nihoa Islands - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 09/07/2005 03:53 PM
    Necker and Nihoa Islands - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 09/07/2005 03:53 PM Nihoa and Necker Islands By Dennis Kawaharada In 1822, Ka'ahumanu and a royal party including Kaumuali'i, Liholiho, Keopuokalani and Kahekili Ke'eaumoku, visited Ni'ihau and heard chants and stories about an island called Nihoa, to the west of Kaua'i, the direction from which the winter rains came: 'Ea mai ana ke ao ua o Kona, 'Ea mai ana ma Nihoa Ma ka mole mai o Lehua Ua iho a pulu ke kahakai The rain clouds of Kona come, Approaching from Nihoa, From the base of Lehua, Pouring down, drenching the coast. Intrigued, Ka'ahumanu organized an expedition and sailed in two or three boats under Captain William Sumner to visit the island. They landed on the once inhabited, but long deserted island 150 miles WNW of Kaua'i and annexed it to the Hawaiian kingdom. The waterfront area around Ka'ahumanu Street in Honolulu was named Nihoa in honor of the visit. The island was annexed to the Hawaiian Kingdom again by Kamehameha IV, who landed on the island in 1857. In 1885, Queen Lili'uokalani, with 200 excursionists, visited Nihoa on the steamer 'Iwalani, and brought back artifacts-a stone bowl, a stone dish, a coral rubbing stone, and a coral file (Emory 8-11). Nihoa, jutting up from the sea beyond sight of Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, is the westernmost place in this tradition of Kaua'i geography. It has come to stand for "one who bravely faces misfortune": "Ku paku ka pali o Nihoa i ka makani"-"The cliffs of Nihoa stand strongly against the wind" (Pukui, 'Olelo, No.

By Don Hurley first fell in love in the Spring of 1961, I while walking by the back lot of Johnny’s Garage in Wofford Heights, California. This was not a teenage flirtation or an “Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson” moment of sexual awareness. At that very instant, without warning, I fell victim to EULUA ACCOUNTING the most extreme type of lust. It has stayed with me the rest of my life. It was British Racing Green, damaged in the front, probably due to an overly enthusiastic driver with too little experience in driving the winding roads of the Kern River Valley. My own driving had been limited to large American cars with bumpers suitable for pushing other large American cars, a desirable quality at that time. This automobile was very different, having wire wheels, only two small seats, and absolutely no capacity for hauling trash or pulling a boat.

  • Intellectual Roots of Key Anthropologists
    SELECTIONS FROM ASSESSING CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Robert Borofsky, editor (1994) New York: McGraw-Hill FREDRIK BARTH is currently Research Fellow under the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Professor of Anthropology at Emory University. He has previously taught at the universities of Oslo and Bergen, and as a visitor at various American departments of anthropology. He has carried out research in a number of areas, starting in the Middle East with a focus on tribal politics and ecology. His best known works from this period are: Political Leadership among Swat Pathans (1959), Nomads of South Persia (1961), Models of Social Organization (1964), and the edited work Ethnic Groups and Boundaries (1969). Later, he has also done fieldwork in New Guinea and Southeast Asia, and among his publications are Ritual and Knowledge among the Baktaman of New Guinea (1975) and Cosmologies in the Making (1987). A monograph entitled Balinese Worlds will appear in 1993. "After a wartime childhood in Norway, I started at the University of Chicago with an interest in paleontology and human evolution. But the active and rich teaching program of Fred Eggan, Sol Tax, Robert Redfield and others broadened my intellectual horizon and led, after an interlude on a dig in Iraq with Bob Braidwood, to my choice of social anthropology as the focus of my work. My foundations derived indirectly from Radcliffe-Brown, who had taught my teachers during the 1930s. "Like many of my Chicago cohort, I went on to further studies in England. I chose the L.S.E. Autobiographies: 2 and developed a life-long association with Raymond Firth and, even more importantly, with Edmund Leach, whom I later followed to Cambridge for my Ph.D.
