  • Kosipe Revisited
    Peat in the mountains of New Guinea G.S. Hope Department of Archaeology and Natural History, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Peatlands are common in montane areas above 1,000 m in New Guinea and become extensive above 3,000 m in the subalpine zone. In the montane mires, swamp forests and grass or sedge fens predominate on swampy valley bottoms. These mires may be 4–8 m in depth and up to 30,000 years in age. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) there is about 2,250 km2 of montane peatland, and Papua Province (the Indonesian western half of the island) probably contains much more. Above 3,000 m, peat soils form under blanket bog on slopes as well as on valley floors. Vegetation types include cushion bog, grass bog and sedge fen. Typical peat depths are 0.5‒1 m on slopes, but valley floors and hollows contain up to 10 m of peat. The estimated total extent of mountain peatland is 14,800 km2 with 5,965 km2 in PNG and about 8,800 km2 in Papua Province. The stratigraphy, age structure and vegetation histories of 45 peatland or organic limnic sites above 750 m have been investigated since 1965. These record major vegetation shifts at 28,000, 17,000‒14,000 and 9,000 years ago and a variable history of human disturbance from 14,000 years ago with extensive clearance by the mid- Holocene at some sites. While montane peatlands were important agricultural centres in the Holocene, the introduction of new dryland crops has resulted in the abandonment of some peatlands in the last few centuries.

  • Give and Take Papua New Guinea Place Unusual Emphasis on the Sovereignty of the Individual
    The Wola people of the Highlands of Give and Take Papua New Guinea place unusual emphasis on the sovereignty of the individual. Their society places few constraints on its members; they have no government, no Exchange in Wola Society authoritative leaders, no formal judicial system. If to paraphrase Rousseau, man is born free but is everywhere in chains, Wola man is very lightly shackled. Order in Wola Society is based on the exchange of wealth, the effect of an elaborate exchange system that allows the handing round of wealth—pearl shells, pigs and other, minor items. Exchange among the Wola is an important social principle. It requires co-operation and constrains the fractious individual to maintain an ordered society. This book presents a vigorous, new analysis of a Highlands people that is a substantial contribution both to the ethno­ graphy of the New Guinea Highlands and to anthropological theory.

  • Eupolisz Utazási Iroda
    4367 m - Mount Giluwe (v7s) Ausztrália és Óceánia legmagasabb vulkánja Időpontok Indulás-érkezés* Telítettség Jelentkezési határidő Pápua Új-Guinea nevét említve talán a legtöbb utazónak mai napig a legendákkal övezett történelem és a rejtélyes, külvilágtól elzárt törzsekben élő népcsoportok jutnak az eszébe. Az igazság pedig nem is áll olyan messze a képzeltünkben élő Pápuáról: a Földünk második legnagyobb szigetén fekvő ország messze az egyik legkevésbé felfedezett része világunknak, mint földrajzi, mint pedig kulturális értelemben. Erre, az európai utazók által alig ismert szigetre mindent kétséget kizáróan életre szóló élmény jelent eljutni, ezért utunkat úgy állítottuk össze, hogy a "Volcanic 7 Summits” csoporthoz tartozó Mount Giluwe vulkánjának megmászása mellett további élmények is várjanak csapatunkra. Belekóstolunk a hegyvidéki területek apró falvainak különös világába, átélhetünk egy hamisítatlan tradicionális fesztivált, kitérünk a tengerparti régió érintetlen szigeteire, majd felfedezzük a Sepik folyó misztikus világát is. Utunk végére pedig nem marad más hátra, mint a mérvadó utazási oldalakon a régió gyöngyszemeként emlegetett Raja Ampat szigetvilága. Új-Guinea szigetének így az indonéz részéről is kapunk egy ízelítőt, hogy végül paradicsomi körülmények között pihenjük ki életünk egyik legnagyobb kalandját.Kiemelt látnivalók az utunk során:- a Mount Hagent körülvevő pápuai hegyvidék,- Ausztrália és Óciánia legmagasabb vulkánja, a Mt Giluwe,- a ország egyik leghíresebb kulturális fesztiválja, a két napos Hagen Show,- Új-Guinea leghosszabb folyója, a misztikus Sepik folyó,- a folyóparton élő pápuai törzsek, szellemházaik és különös szokásaik,- a Muschu-sziget meseszép tengerpartjai és japán háborús emlékei,- a Sentani-tó csodás panorámája a MacArthur emlékműről,- Raja Ampat paradicsomi szigetei,- a világ egyik leggazdagabb víz alatti élővilága. A "Volcanic 7 Summits” (v7s) kifejezés a hét kontinens hét legmagasabb vulkánját foglalja magába.

  • In My Consideration of Sorcery, Healing, and Magic As Symbols of Life I Have a Twofold Intention
    Religious Traditions 83 AN INTERPRETATION OF MAG1C Mary MacDonald Introduction In my consideration of sorcery, healing, and magic as symbols of life I have a twofold intention. Firstly, I want to describe the traditional religious outlook and practices of the Mararoko people of the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea by relating their beliefs and rituals to their quest for a life which is rich and abundant. Secondly, I want do demonstrate that the religions of Melanesia, which are often condescendingly characterized as "magical", enable their members to grasp the significance of human life through processes of magic which may be viewed as symbols of the quest for life. That is, I contend that it is more appropriate to view magic as a philosophy of life which finds expression in ritual processes than as an inferior science or technology. Therefore, I shall use "magic" in an objective sense to describe those processes in which people in their desire for a more abundant life forge symbolic· links between different areas of human experience. For the people of Mararoko the world of nature and of social relationships provides a matrix of symbols in which to express their experience and understanding of human life. From the associations they sense between different aspects of their world they have over generations produced symbols which at the same time interpret experience and themselves call for interpretation in the light of ongoing experience. In this paper l suggest that the various expressions of magic are metaphorical statements regarding the human situation. On the surface it may seem that magic is more concerned with the daily exigencies of life in the Mararoko habitat 84 than with the long-term life of the community or the ultimate meaning of life.

  • POTASSIUM - ARGON DATES and PRE-WÜRM GLACIATIONS of MOUNT GILUWE VOLCANO, PAPUA NEW GUINEA by E
    Zeitschrift für Gletscherkunde und Glazialgeologie, Bd. XII, Heft 1, 1976, S. 55-62 POTASSIUM - ARGON DATES AND PRE-WÜRM GLACIATIONS OF MOUNT GILUWE VOLCANO, PAPUA NEW GUINEA By E. LÖFFLER, Canberra With 3 Figures ABSTRACT Aseries of K-Ar dates from Mt Giluwe volcano is reported and its relevance to the Quater­ nary history of the volcano is discussed. The period between about 380000 and 220000 years BP seems to have been one of major volcanic activity. During the volcanic activity there were periods of ice cover probably of sllOrt duration. The oldest evidence of glacial action predates a lava flow dated at between 340000 and 380000 years. At about 290000 years an ice cap of a thickness of at least 100 m covered the summit area and one 01' a series of subglacial eruption(s) led to the formation of palagonitic breccia. This event was probably associated with a complete melting of the ice since it was followed almost immediately by the eruption of a thick sequence of normal lava flows which range in age from ab out 289000 years to about 220000 years. Subsequent volcanic activity was less significant and no dates are available on this.
