Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation at Kuk Swamp in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea
The subject of this chapter is the nomination of Kuk for World Heritage listing by UNESCO. It deals with the story up to the point of the site’s acceptance in July 2008. The nomination was not the first time that consideration had been given to the question of long-term conservation at Kuk in the interests of cultural heritage, as distinct from short-term protection in the interests of archaeological research, as discussed in Chapter 24.

Mid-Holocene Social Networks in Far Eastern New Guinea
Stylistic and distributional studies of prehistoric stone mortars and pestles are used to examine what connections existed during the mid-Holocene within Far Eastern New Guinea, and beyond to the Huon Peninsula and West New Britain. The finds from Far Eastern New Guinea demonstrate strong stylistic similarities with those found mainly on the Huon Peninsula and associated islands. How such cultural links were established may be due in large part t…
Changes in kula valuables and related supply linkages between the Massim and the South Papuan Coast between 1855 and 1915
The kula is a famous exchange circuit linking some of the islands off the eastern tip of Papua New Guinea. In his classic ethnography, Bronislaw Malinowski (1922) describes how the two most highly ranked valuables were exchanged. In 1915-18, these valuables were Conus armshells and shell bead necklaces, but in 1855 this was not the case. When prehistory merged into history on Woodlark Island, it was circular boar's tusks rather than Conus armshel…
Engraved prehistoric Conus shell valuables from southeastern Papua New Guinea
In the early 1900s thirteen engraved Conus shell valuables were dug from prehistoric midden mounds in Oro Province. Since the early 1970s nineteen undated surface finds have been found in the northern Massim of Milne Bay Province.When three artifacts became available for AMS radiocarbon dating, provided they were restored after sampling to their original visual appearance, a specialist team was assembled and this paper reports its findings regard…

Mid-Holocene Social Interaction in Melanesia
The widespread distribution in Papua New Guinea of obsidian stemmed tools dated to the mid-Holocene has led scholars to postulate the existence of large interaction spheres. A newly reported artifact from Biak Island, West Papua provides the stimulus for reconsidering the role of this tool type in regional social interaction. The tool was hammer-dressed, a technique unknown for obsidian flaked tools elsewhere in the world and only rarely applied …
Prehistoric stone artefacts from Enga and the implication of links between the highlands, lowlands and islands for early agriculture in Papua New Guinea
Two of the unanswered questions of Papua New Guinea prehistory are: (1) whether agriculture was present in the mid-Holocene not only in the highlands but also in the lowlands and Bismarck Archipelago and (2) whether the presence of agriculture might have been influenced by interaction between these regions. This paper addresses these questions through an analysis of prehistoric stone mortars, pestles and figures, which hold information on both st…
Social networks and the spread of Lapita
Lapita pottery seems to arrive in the Pacific out of the blue, and signal a new social, economic or ideological network. The authors show that widespread interaction, articulated by obsidian tools and stone mortars and pestles decorated with various motifs, was already in existence in New Guinea and New Britain. These earlier networks provide a preview of the social interaction that was to light up with the advent of Lapita
Re-Dating Mid-Holocene Betelnut ( Areca Catechu L.) and Other Plant Use at Dongan, Papua New Guinea
Direct accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating of anaerobically preserved plant remains from the Dongan site in New Guinea, combined with assessment of preservation condition, confirms earlier doubts about the antiquity of betelnut ( Areca catechu L.) found at the site. A possible sago leaf fragment is also identified as a modern contaminant. The mid-Holocene age of other fruit and nut remains is verified using these methods. The utility of AM…
Changing shorelines and cultural orientations in the Sepik-Ramu, Papua New Guinea
Today the Sepik and Ramu rivers drain the north‐west mainland of Papua New Guinea. A joint archaeological and geomorphic research programme has revealed that their modern joint flood‐plains were once a brackish inland sea. During the period of the inland sea the north coast was much closer to the intermontane valleys of the Papua New Guinea highlands. Six to five thousand years ago, this former inland sea would have allowed an almost direct excha…

Shellfish gathering at Nukalau Island, West New Britain Province, Papua New Guinea
Shellfish are especially important to the Nukukau islanders of West New Britain Province, PNG, when fishing is poor and the weather too rough for fishing parties to go out. Today fewer shellfish species are gathered than in the past. Popular demand and the increasing size of the village community means, as is the case elsewhere in PNG, that the available shellfish stocks are becoming younger and shell size is decreasing
Wilms' tumor in the newborn period
"The natural resources of New Guinea and nearby islands have attracted outsiders for at least 5000 years: spices, aromatic woods and barks, resins, plumes, sea slugs, shells and pearls all brought traders from distant markets. Among the most sought-after was the bird of paradise. Their magnificent plumes bedecked the hats of fashion-conscious women in Europe and America, provided regalia for the Kings of Nepal, and decorated the headdresses of Ja…
