Post-Lapita Evolutions or Revolutions? Interaction and Exchange in Island Melanesia: The View from the Tanga Islands Part I Stephanie J. Garling A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY RESEARCH SCHOOL OF PACIFIC AND ASIAN STUDIES COLLEGE OF ASIA AND THE PACIFIC THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA ACT 0200 NOVEMBER 2007 Except where otherwise acknowledged in the text, this thesis represents the original research of the author. Stephanie J. Garling November 2007. i ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis is the period of apparent cultural ‘transition’ or transformation in the archaeology of Island Melanesia in the closing centuries of the third millennium BP. This transformation has long been tied to an ill-defined and much debated ‘Incised and Applied Relief’ ceramic tradition, and in the western part of this region is seen as marking the ‘end’ of Lapita in the transition from the ‘Late Lapita’ to ‘Post-Lapita’ periods. I examine this ‘transition’ by taking a multi-pronged approach to the consideration of social interaction and exchange, in particular in terms of cultural continuities (‘evolutions’) and discontinuities (‘revolutions’) across it. Based on new research in the Tanga Islands and supplemented by the further examination of a group of sites on the New Ireland mainland, the thesis employs two broad types of data to track interaction—compositional and stylistic—which are gleaned from the analysis of pottery, obsidian and red ochre. Its aim is to tease out the complexities of interaction and cultural change at the ‘transition’ indicated by both the match and mismatch of the evidence from these different archaeological data sets. The thesis concludes that Tanga and other ‘transitional’ sites from the Bismarck Archipelago to New Caledonia were embedded in a number of different overlapping and interconnected interaction networks of different spatial and temporal scales and likely cultural significance. These networks reflected webs of relationships and aspects of shared identity and history on both more localised and broader regional levels, and incorporated elements of both stylistic similarity and difference, and cultural continuity and discontinuity with Lapita. It finds that there is indeed some utility to a considerably revised notion of the ‘Incised and Applied Relief Tradition’: one that is both more and less strictly defined. ABSTRACT ii iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to a great number of people, without whose assistance, advice, support and friendship my research and this thesis could not have been achieved. Foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Tanga, whose tremendous support, generosity, hospitality and friendship made the research for this thesis not only possible, but also one of the most enjoyable and memorable periods of my life. Kone aro sigit singam. My sincere thanks go to the clan and community leaders for their permission to undertake the research on their land and for their interest and enthusiasm, and to everyone who assisted me in the surveys and excavations, guided me, helped lug my gear between villages and islands, brought artefacts to show me, invited me into their homes, hausboi and kastam ceremonies, prepared wonderful meals for me (especially tupela meri Tassik, Salome and Tindiu), storied with me, protected me from tara, gave me generous gifts of fruit, yam, fish and buai to name a few, and generally looked after me better than I could ever have imagined. My sincere thanks also to Paul Nebil, who helped me to establish and then continue my research on Tanga, and in doing so sacrificed considerable time, away from his family and work on Anir. At Taonsip on Boeng, my deepest gratitude goes to ol lain bilong Solsol and Mokatilistung—Somanil Funil, Salome, Partui Bonaventura, Likot, Madeline, Felix, George, Geoffrey, Attanasius, and Elizabeth—who shared their home with me for two months and made me literally one of the family. Kone aro, iau Tinlames. At Solsol, I was honoured to be the recipient of a liklik kastam arranged by Somanil and clan leaders Partui, Tangkangku and Kiapun, which formally gave me their permission to conduct research in the Taonsip area, and to remove the artefacts of their ancestors for the education of future generations of Tangans. Thanks also to Joe Neolfea, Felomat clan leader, for his permission to carry out excavation at Matambek, and to Kutbau and Joe for sharing the story of Tinaul and Nakamur with me. I cannot thank the Boeng excavation teams—Benedict, Sores, Andrew, Tinmanil, Kaltusol, and Selewar—and their families enough for all their hard work and support at Matambek and Lifafaesing, and for also making the work such a pleasure. The people of Taonsip always made me feel welcome wherever I went. In particular, thanks to everyone at Matangkerem; to Kalikli and his family for inviting me to a delicious lunch at their home; and to Samdik, Furis, Tading, Felix, Fodok at Kalu Store, Tumar and his wife, Tinmeling, Lanabil, Tinmartaul and Benjamin. For organising two magnificent farewell kaikai at their homes, special thanks to both Tangkangku and ol lain blong em; and to the Lubun lain, Parbil and Patrick Tokanai and their families. My sincere thanks also to everyone who ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv shared their stories with me while I was at Taonsip, in particular Kamdamut, Partui, Somanil, Kutbau, Benedict and Sores. At Fonli, I would particularly like to thank Clement Tamenguam, Walburga Tinmelkia and Soktim Kabisar for their help in surveying and recording the caves. My special thanks go to the Kabisar lain for such a lovely welcome and kaikai at Wilinmale. At Sungkin, the hospitality and friendship of Filomena, Linus Minemanil, Albert, Rita, Humphrey Fenmut and the late Papa John Tolimar made the guesthouse a most welcome retreat. Special thanks to Albert for patiently transporting my gear and myself around Boeng, and to Fenmut for his help in survey and excavation. Thanks to Stanis Sarfini, Fasambo clan leader, for his support of the research. On Lif, my most sincere gratitude to everyone at Matampaluk—my other home away from home—especially Tindiu, Sianot, Abram and Gletrom for sharing their home with me, and to Teresia Wanmak, Severin, Bu-buol, Dorothy, Mechtil and Katil Kelep, Tiana, Hilary, Gerwarsius, Tinmelsor, Grace, Bruno Saputan, Maion, Rigil, Roswita, Michael and Ester. Thanks to Keneko and Vincent for helping me to sort through the fine fractions. I am especially grateful to Sianot, whose boat and excellent seamanship helped to transport myself and my supplies, finds and equipment between Tanga and Lihir, Namatanai and Anir. Thanks also to Patricia Tivese for allowing me to use her house at Matampuluk. At Angkitkita, my sincere thanks to Ben Fomen, Hildegarde, Michaeline, Naomi, Ingkom, Augustine, the late Lepan, the hard-working excavation team—John Fisher, Doreen, Enscar Kelep, Genevieve Tine and Blaise Fungkupet—and to all the other residents for their support, friendship, and interest in (and forbearance of) the research in their backyards. Thanks also to John Guaupet and Mark Kuen for their assistance during the survey of Lif. On Tefa, special thanks to James Kelep, Katil Kelep and Tarango for their hospitality at beautiful Ansingsing. On Maledok, my sincere thanks to the many people who gave me tremendous assistance and hospitality during the course of the survey and excavation, in particular: Titus Fadur, Bernadette, Edward Sioni, James Tokian, Celestine Timpuakot, Gabriel Fatbil and Bonifas Kepgas at Matangkipit and Angkono; Neone, Petua, Joycelyn, Alfred and Augustine at Waranlis and Salkangkis; Vincent Sangmet, John Neman and Tekla Batrom at Namanulla and Kiam; Phillipus Telsiliflif and everyone at Taun; Ludwig Song, Rosalind, Gertrude, Moses Song, and Hilary Waranmanil at Minmale; John, Michael, Tom and Alois Fang at Fit; Joseph Tandolmaket at Emo; and Richard Toktim, Michael, Andrew, and Frances Tolimar at Sautam. I especially want to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v express my heartfelt gratitude to Joycelyn for looking after me when I was ill at Waranlis, and to Richard Toktim and Gabriel Fatbil, without whose excellent seamanship I would probably not be here today. On Anir, I especially want to thank everyone at Balanis—Julie, liklik Julie, Sakses, Augustine, George-Hilda, Lamil, Lucy, Joe and Sorliu—for their tremendous hospitality. I am indebted to both Julies, and to Nengam and Ellen, for taking such good care of me when my leg was bagarap. Thanks also to Charles, Siraol, Paul Wingilmat, Leo Faboksiaro, Catherine, Annie and Lui for their continuing friendship over the years. On Lihir, special thanks to Wanmak, Patricia Tivese, Leonie, Naomi, Busa, Pio and Jason for their welcome and hospitality. Thanks also to Andy Holding (Community Liaison Officer, LMC) for being my lifeline while I was on Tanga, especially for conveying letters from Australia, special food parcels, and for helping to arrange some of the logistics of my fieldwork. Thanks also to Peter Nealim and Robin at Londolovit. In Kavieng, I wish to thank Simon Passingan (Deputy Administrator Corporate Services, New Ireland Provincial Administration) for his support of the research on Tanga. In Port Moresby, thanks to Nick Araho, Herman Mandui, the late Baiva Ivuyo and Robert Mondol (Department of Prehistory, National Museum and Art Gallery), and Jim Robbins (Cultural Studies Division, National Research Institute) for their support of the research, their help with transport, arranging logistics, and the loaning of collections. Many people within the Department of Archaeology and Natural History (ANH) and elsewhere at The Australian National University (ANU) have provided me with invaluable advice, encouragement, discussions and assistance. Foremost, I am grateful to my former supervisor, Glenn Summerhayes (now University of Otago), for inspiring my interest in the archaeology of New Ireland, giving me the opportunities to do fieldwork on Anir, and supporting and encouraging my research project on Tanga.

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.

Boot camp, c.1941 Martin Place, Sydney, c.1941 Because my father fought at Sattelberg in the hills west of Finschhafen in 1943, I became fascinated by New Guinea and read avidly. After studying anthropology at the University of Sydney I went to PNG as an Education Officer in 1962. I asked to be posted to Telefomin. Languages of Central New Guinea I lived at Telefomin 1962-65. In 1963-64, Bryan Cranstone, British Museum, was based at Tifalmin west of Telefomin to research and collect items of material culture. His method of documenting things that he collected drew my attention to the house boards and shields of the region. He became my mentor. I was fortunate to witness the last of the male initiation ceremonies – dakasalban candidates with sponsor at left, otban at right. In 1964, I collected about 320 items of material culture for the Australian Museum, supported with photographs, and began a survey of all house boards and shields in the wider region, extended in 1967. This resulted in a Masters Thesis in 1969 and a booklet in 1988. At Bolovip, the board photographed by Champion in 1926 (left) was still there in 1967 (top right) but had been discarded by 1981.

Hartmann, M.D. Introduced and Annotated by Richard Feinberg Kent State University INTRODUCTION The Polynesian outliers for years have held a special place in Oceanic studies. They have figured prominently in discussions of Polynesian set- tlement from Thilenius (1902), Churchill (1911), and Rivers (1914) to Bayard (1976) and Kirch and Yen (1982). Scattered strategically through territory generally regarded as either Melanesian or Microne- sian, they illustrate to varying degrees a merging of elements from the three great Oceanic culture areas—thus potentially illuminating pro- cesses of cultural diffusion. And as small bits of land, remote from urban and administrative centers, they have only relatively recently experienced the sustained European contact that many decades earlier wreaked havoc with most islands of the “Polynesian Triangle.” The last of these characteristics has made the outliers particularly attractive to scholars interested in glimpsing Polynesian cultures and societies that have been but minimally influenced by Western ideas and Pacific Studies, Vol. 9, No. 3—July 1986 1 2 Pacific Studies, Vol. 9, No. 3—July 1986 accoutrements. For example, Tikopia and Anuta in the eastern Solo- mons are exceptional in having maintained their traditional social structures, including their hereditary chieftainships, almost entirely intact. And Papua New Guinea’s three Polynesian outliers—Nukuria, Nukumanu, and Takuu—may be the only Polynesian islands that still systematically prohibit Christian missionary activities while proudly maintaining important elements of their old religions.

    Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania

    Abstract of http://www.uog.ac.pg/glec/thesis/ch1web/ABSTRACT.htm Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania by Glendon A. Lean In modern technological societies we take the existence of numbers and the act of counting for granted: they occur in most everyday activities. They are regarded as being sufficiently important to warrant their occupying a substantial part of the primary school curriculum. Most of us, however, would find it difficult to answer with any authority several basic questions about number and counting. For example, how and when did numbers arise in human cultures: are they relatively recent inventions or are they an ancient feature of language? Is counting an important part of all cultures or only of some? Do all cultures count in essentially the same ways? In English, for example, we use what is known as a base 10 counting system and this is true of other European languages. Indeed our view of counting and number tends to be very much a Eurocentric one and yet the large majority the languages spoken in the world - about 4500 - are not European in nature but are the languages of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. If we take these into account we obtain a quite different picture of counting systems from that of the Eurocentric view. This study, which attempts to answer these questions, is the culmination of more than twenty years on the counting systems of the indigenous and largely unwritten languages of the Pacific region and it involved extensive fieldwork as well as the consultation of published and rare unpublished sources.
