  • The Orang-Utan Crisis

    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.

  • Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic

    Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic

    Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic AlFred F. PAwlIk introduction The discussion of cultural, cognitive, and behavioral modernity has a long tradition in europe’s prehistoric archaeology ( Dibble 1989; Hahn 1986; Jelinek 1982; klein 1995, 1999; Mellars 1989a, 1989b). The appearance of specialized blade indus- tries, bone and antler tools, and especially figurative art, musical instruments, and personal ornaments are seen as significant indicators of the highly developed cultural and cognitive abilities of their makers (Clottes 2001; Conard 2003; Conard et al. 2004). The seemingly sudden appearance of expressive art and symbolism together with complex tool technologies in europe at around 40,000 years ago has been attributed to explosive cultural and cognitive advancement with the arrival of ana- tomically modern Homo sapiens ( Klein and Blake 2002; Mellars 1991; Mithen 1996). Whether this Upper Palaeolithic revolution in europe was due to social factors or genetic mutation, was related to changes in the ecosystem, or has a cultural expla- nation (such as competition with another human species, the Neanderthals) is still under debate ( Bar-Yossef 2002; Conard et al. 2004; d’errico 2003; Haidle 2006; McBrearty and Brooks 2000; Mellars 2005; Zilhão 2001). Yet, the “human revolu- tion” model is used to explain the success of the Homo sapiens immigrants over the Neanderthals ( Bräuer and Smith 1992; Conard 2006, 2008; Mellars 2005). On the other hand, potential indicators of an earlier and gradually developing cul- tural and cognitive modernity have been seen in African assemblages. The appearance of some modern cognitive traits (e.g., production of projectile points, shell-fishing, personal ornaments, notational or incised pieces, and pigment processing) in Africa has been dated back to the Middle Pleistocene, earlier than the first evidence of ana- tomically modern hominids 200,000 years ago (Henshilwood et al.
