Specialised Production of Early-Lapita Pottery: a Skill Specialised Production of Early‐Lapita Pottery: A Skill Analysis of Pottery from the Island of Emirau Nicholas W.S. Hogg A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand November 2011 Abstract This thesis presents the results of a skill analysis augmented by a decorative analysis and temper analysis, conducted upon Lapita pottery from the Early period site of Tamuarawai (EQS), Emirau Island, Papua New Guinea. Lapita pottery is an essential component of the Lapita Cultural Complex and an important source of information through which the lives of the Lapita peoples can be better understood. Research into the production of pottery during the Early-Lapita period (3300- 3000/2900 B.P) initially argued for such pottery to be the result of a “specialised production strategy;” of which two “types” were defined “Specialised Regional Production” by Kirch (1988, 1990, 1997) and Hunt (1988, 1989) and “Mobile Specialised Production” by Summerhayes (2000a, 2000c, 2001, 2010). However, later research challenged this interpretation, arguing instead that specialised production was not occurring. This research utilises a skill analysis, a technique which studies the level of skill invested into pottery production, in combination with a decorative analysis and temper analysis, to identify whether a specialised production strategy was employed to produce the Early-Lapita pottery assemblage of EQS and if so, what “type” of specialised production was occurring. It is argued that the results of these analyses indicate that the EQS assemblage was produced via a specialised production strategy and that this indicates that specialised pottery production was occurring during the Early-Lapita period. The “type” of specialised production employed is argued to be similar to that of “Specialised Regional Production”, whereby whole vessels or potting materials were being moved to the Island of Emirau. It is further argued that the “type” of specialised production employed to produce the EQS assemblage was specifically designed to function in an island environment with minimal resources for pottery production. Finally, the technique of skill analysis has never been employed upon a Lapita assemblage before and therefore can be considered experimental in nature. Due to this a thorough review and critique was completed in regards to the techniques effectiveness for the identification of specialised production. It is argued that the technique was successful in indentifying specialised production and “types” of specialised production but that it also had a few limitations. Keywords: Lapita, Ceramics, Pottery, Specialisation, Skill Analysis, Papua New Guinea.

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.

The airport designed for Boeing 747 and the new Airbus 380 will also provide a staging point for control of the vast PNG Designated Fishing Zone (DFZ). Effectively this increases the level of regulation and compliance on visiting international fishing fleets and provides a way of monitoring their impact. Initially the project focus is on developing commercial artisanal fisheries for St Mathias islanders and marketing high quality hand-fished fresh seafoods under a unique brand that promotes the sustainability of the fisheries, the environment and a values- based society.

From his headquarters at Lae Lieut-General Sturdee controlled four forces deployed in an area that was about 1,000 miles from east t o west. Sturdee had not previously held a command in the field in this war. In 1940 he had been appointed to command the 8th Division but afte r a few weeks had become Chief of the General Staff, an appointment he filled with distinction during the anxious months that followed the entr y of the Japanese into the war . In September 1942 he became head of the Australian Military Mission in Washington . His senior staff officer on Firs t Army was Brigadier E. L. Sheehan, who had come to that appointment i n 1943 after service on the staff of New Guinea Force and I Corps; his chief administrative officer was Brigadier R. Bierwirth who had held similar appointments on the staff of the 6th Division, Northern Territory Force , and I Corps .l The big base at Lae was well situated to be the headquarters of a n army controlling operations throughout the New Guinea territories . It was about 600 miles from Torokina on Bougainville, 450 from Aitape, an d 400 from Jacquinot Bay on New Britain and from Emirau Island, it s northernmost area of responsibility . From Lae Sturdee and his staff con- trolled and maintained not only the four main field formations but a total of 134 formations, units, and detachments, including Angau region s and districts, three Area Commands—Madang, Finschhafen and Wau , seven base sub-areas—at Aitape, Torokina, Madang, Lae, Buna, Port Moresby and Milne Bay, fixed defence units at Moresby and Lae, a multi- tude of engineer and signals units, and many others .

  • 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.

  • Culture, Capitalism and Contestation Over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia
    Changing Lives and Livelihoods: Culture, Capitalism and Contestation over Marine Resources in Island Melanesia Jeff Kinch 31st March 2020 A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Archaeology and Anthropology Research School of Humanities and the Arts College of Arts and Social Sciences Australian National University Declaration Except where other information sources have been cited, this thesis represents original research undertaken by me for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology at the Australian National University. 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.
