The Orang-Utan Crisis
106 Oryx THE ORANG-UTAN CRISIS FOREWORD The Orang-utan or Maias, Pongo pygmaeus, which lives only in the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, is one of the animals in greatest danger of extermination throughout the world. The threat comes from the demand for young captive orangs. These are normally obtained by shooting the mother, so that, remembering also the numbers of baby orangs which must be killed accidentally with their mothers or die in transit later from disease or undernourishment, it is reasonable to estimate that for every orang to reach its final destination in captivity, at least three perish. In articles in Oryx, VI, 2, August, 1962, Major Tom Harrisson, director of the Sarawak Museum, and his wife, Barbara Harrisson, brought the position of the Orang-utan vividly before the Fauna Preservation Society and for long before that the Society had been bringing the parlous state of the Orang-utan to the notice of the authorities in Singapore—for most orang-utans obtained in the wild are taken first to that port. More recently, at a meeting of the Executive Board of IUCN in May, 1963, Dr. Harold Coolidge, Executive Director of the National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A., who had just returned from Singapore, told the writer that at least sixty orangs were then " in the pipeline, from Sumatra and Borneo to America and Europe". He suggested that another enquiry should be made at Singapore and this has resulted as follows:— No orang may legally enter Singapore without an import licence and these licences are not granted without an export licence from the country of origin, but control of import is very difficult because of the vast number of ships entering the port and the fact that an orang may be kept on board, nominally as a sailor's pet, until an opportunity to smuggle it ashore occurs. -
Tom Harrisson's Contribution Through Radiocarbon Dating to the Understanding of the Prehistory of Southeast Asia Received 19 September 1977
Tom Harrisson's Contribution through Radiocarbon Dating to the Understanding of the Prehistory of Southeast Asia Received 19 September 1977 RICHARD SHUTLER, JR. OM HARRISSON was appointed Government Ethnologist and Curator of the Sarawak Museum in Kuching in 1947, a post he held until 1966. Although T he was not new to this area, 1947 must be considered the year he officially began archaeological research in Borneo. Tom carried out the first archaeological excavations in Borneo, and, for some areas of that island, these are still the only ones which have been done. From his excavations, particularly at the Great Niah Cave in Sarawak, a number of radiocarbon dates have been obtained that give some idea of the time depth of the prehistoric occupation of Borneo. Harrisson's most important excavations were at Niah Cave, Sarawak, in western Borneo, beginning in 1954. A good deal ofthe work at Niah, Brunei, and Sabah was carried on jointly with Barbara Harrisson. The oldest radiocarbon date for Niah Cave is 41,500 ± 1000 B.P. (GRO-1338), from a depth of 100 inches. Associated with this date are unifacial choppers of classic Southeast Asian Palaeolithic type. From Pit EE, 10 inches below the 41,500 B.P. date, a Homo sapiens skull was found. This is the earliest Homo sapiens skull known from East Asia. Directly below the skull, a small, unretouched flake was found that is described as a "Mid-Sohan" type (Harrisson 1959a). The radiocarbon dates from Niah Cave provide the longest dated cultural sequence in Southeast Asia, going back to 41,500 B.P. -
Niah Cave) Sarawak) Burial Series Using Stable Isotopes of Carbon
Reconstructing Human Subsistence in the West Mouth (Niah Cave) Sarawak) Burial Series Using Stable Isotopes of Carbon JOHN KRIGBAUM THIS PAPER PRESENTS A PALAEODIETARY ANALYSIS using stable carbon isotopes oftooth enamel to explore diachronic patterns ofhuman subsistence in the termi nal Pleistocene and Holocene at Niah Cave (Sarawak, Malaysia). Niah's West Mouth has produced an outstanding archaeological assemblage (Barker et al. 2000,2001, 2002a, 2002b, 2003; T. Harrisson 1957,1959,1972; Zuraina 1982) that "contains the longest stratified record of human occupation in Island South east Asia" (Bellwood 1997: 172). Aside from early human remains oflate Pleisto cene context, most proper burials recovered from the West Mouth can be consid ered terminal Pleistocene or Holocene in age (Bellwood 1997; Brooks et al. 1979; B. Harrisson 1967; Krigbaum and Manser in prep.). The burial series pro vides a unique opportunity to address diachronic trends in pre-Neolithic and Neolithic human subsistence patterns in a single locale. Isotopic data presented below provide a fresh perspective for understanding prehistoric lifeways of for aging populations inhabiting tropical lowland settings in Southeast Asia, particu larly with respect to how caves serve as a component of complex subsistence and settlement patterns (Anderson 1997). THE RESEARCH CONTEXT Surprisingly, little detailed work has been conducted on reconstructing prehistoric human subsistence in the lowland tropics of Southeast Asia. In part this is due to negative evidence in the record and the paucity of sites of appropriate age. Post glacial changes in topography and climate have greatly affected what evidence might exist for late Pleistocene human presence. Because the Sunda subcontinen tal shelf is so shallow, sea level transgression dramatically changed the configura tion of land and sea, with rising sea levels submerging any habitation sites in coastal lowland settings (Dunn and Dunn 1977; Hanebuth et al. -

Is Rehabilitating Orang Utans Worth While?
Is Rehabilitating Orang Utans Worth While? Rosalind Aveling and Arthur Mitchell H.D. Rijksen The centres for rehabilitating confiscated orang utans in Borneo and Sumatra have shown that at least some animals can be successfully restored to the wild. But there is still the fear of introducing disease and possibly social stress into wild populations. Two centres, Bohorok and Sepilok, which are largely administered and funded by the Indonesian and Malaysian governments, are extremely popular, have many visitors, and thus have a valuable role in conservation education. The authors, have been working on education programmes at these centres. In 1962 in Sarawak, Barbara Harrisson, concerned at the trade in captive orang utans and its effect on the dwindling wild populations, set out to rehabilitate some captive animals to the wild. Since then five rehabilitation centres have been established in different parts of the orang utan's range - Sepilok in Sabah in 1964, Tanjung Puting in Kalimantan in 1971, Ketambe in 1971 and Bohorok in 1973 both in Sumatra, and Semengoh (originally for gibbons) in Sarawak in 1977. Their effectiveness in orang conservation has been much debated since, but to assess their achievements their different methods and conservation roles need to be examined. Can Captives be Rehabilitated? Rijksen has coined the terms 'ecological rehabilitation' to describe the process 263 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

And Related Prehistoric Pottery from Borneo
v. BORNEO Niah 'Three Colour Ware' and Related Prehistoric Pottery from Borneo By WILHELM G. SOLHEIM II, BARBARA HARRISSON AND LINDSEY WALL HOUGH previous publications hav.e mentioned the pottery found in the T Great Cave at Niah (Harrisson 1957: 164-65; Harrisson 1959 a: 6) and a few vessels have been illustrated (Harrisson 1957: pI. 0 b, and Harrisson 1958 : fig. 3), no general or specific report on it has yet been published. This paper presents a general description of the Niah 'Three Colour Ware', the pottery associated with it in the Great Cave at Niah, and very briefly the related pottery known from other sites in Borneo. Specific descriptions of the Niah pottery and the pottery from the other sites will appear in the Sarawak Museum Journal when the detailed analyses have been completed. INTRODUCTION The Great Cave at Niah has been described several times (Harrisson 1957; Solheim 1960). The primary excavation area is at one corner of the cave, by the side wall, extending from the front, back into ·the cave about 100 metres. To the front of this area the excavation has come across refuse mainly from a living site, while stretching back into the cave is an extensive cemetery. Pottery has been found scattered about the whole excavation area, but it is primarily associated with the cemetery. To the front, the pottery is mostly found in the top twelve inches with a much smaller number of sherds below that and none below twenty-four inches. The majority of the burials have been left in situ after uncovering, for later final excavation, so the depth to which pottery, and burials, extends in the cemetery is ·not yet known. -

Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995
Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions. -
