  • The New Zealand bracken fern rhizome, Pteridium esculentum (G.Forst)

    Open AccessFoss Leach, Joel Davidson et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2023Referencias: 2

    The two species of bracken fern, Pteridium esculentum and Pteridium aquilinum , are well known to produce neoplastic lesions and thiamine deficiency when consumed by mammals, with severe consequences to health. New Zealand Pre‐European Māori are known to have consumed rhizomes of P. esculentum as food with little or no recorded consequences to health. Processing methods by Māori prior to consumption may have helped to detoxify this food. We carri…

  • Freshwater and Marine eels in the Pacific and New Zealand

    Open AccessB F Leach, Joel Davidson et al.ARTICLEArchaeofauna2023Referencias: 7

    Eels are ubiquitous throughout the Pacific and New Zealand, and offer a rich source of protein and fat. However, bones of eels are rare in archaeological sites. This contrast has been noted several times in archaeological literature, not just in the Pacific, but also in Europe. Explanations for the dearth of bones range from taphonomic processes, the bones are too small, or too fragile, or they preferentially self-destruct because they are rich w…

  • Archaeological excavations at Pig Bay (N38/21, R10/22), Motutapu Island, Auckland, New Zealand, in 1958 and 1959

    Open AccessJoel Davidson, Janet Davidson et al.ARTICLERecords of the Auckland Museum2017

    A large collection of artefacts and faunal material recovered 60 years ago from an excavation on the island of Motutapu, Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand is described for the first time. The occupation site primarily functioned as an adze manufactory using a nearby source of indurated greywacke.

  • Reducing Lead Exposure Risk to Vulnerable Populations

    Laura Schuch, Andrew Curtis et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 65

    Recent headlines highlight disparities in childhood lead poisoning in urban areas yet discourse does not address the lack of primary prevention options. Previous geographic information systems (GIS) approaches, concentrated on census tracts or ZIP codes, miss contextual understanding of lead exposure and make intervention impractical. Through the combination of electronic medical record (EMR) data from an urban children's hospital and spatial vid…

  • Intrusion, integration and innovation on small and not‐so‐small islands with particular reference to Samoa

    Open AccessJoel Davidson, Janet M DavidsonARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2012Citada por: 8Referencias: 32

    Investigations on small Polynesian outliers have illustrated how difficult it can be to identify archaeological evidence of intrusion, or to interpret the effect of any intrusion on the resident populations. In Samoa, the still meagre amount of artefactual and faunal remains from archaeological excavations adds to these problems. A review of the known Samoan archaeological sequence finds little or no evidence of intrusion, apart from a probable p…

  • Connections with Hawaiki

    Open AccessJoel Davidson, Janet Davidson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Archaeology2011

    A tool from the archaeological site at Wairau Bar, New Zealand, is identified as an import from the tropical Pacific. The tool was made by working a cutting edge on the apex of a spiral gastropod shell, identified as Acus crenulatus (formerly Terebra crenulata) (family Terebridae). Similar tools have been found in a number of sites in tropical East Polynesia, dating to the same general time period as Wairau Bar. The tool supports the view that th…

  • The Lapita Occupation at Naitabale, Moturiki Island, Central Fiji

    Patrick Nunn, Patrick D Nunn et al.ARTICLEAsian perspectives2007Citada por: 31Referencias: 12

    In 2003 the authors discovered and excavated a Lapita site at Naitabale close to the southern end of Moturiki Island (central Fiji). Today the site is 350 m inland from the coast, but in Lapita times it was located behind the active beach ridge. A large collection of potsherds (including 92 dentate-stamped or incised Lapita sherds), shell, and animal bones was recovered, together with a human burial. Sherd decorations show affinities with the Wes…

  • An Ocean in Common

    Joel Davidson, Gary E WeirARTICLEJournal of American History2002Citada por: 1

    This book traces the developing relationship between the U.S. Navy and ocean scientists from the end of World War I to the early 1960s. The author, Gary E. Weir, is an official navy historian who has written extensively about American submarine programs. His principal thesis is that the symbiotic connection between scientists and the navy depended as much upon an interpersonal network of military and civilian oceanography boosters as upon technol…

  • More than Munitions

    Joel Davidson, Janet F DavidsonARTICLETechnology and Culture2001

    Clare Wightman's More than Munitions explores the history of women's work in the British engineering industries from 1900 to 1950. After placing her book in the context of literature on the history of workplace control, feminist labor history, women's wartime work, and sexual segregation at work, Wightman surveys women's work opportunities in Britain in general and their employment opportunities in the engineering industries in particular. Explai…

  • The use of size-frequency diagrams to characterize prehistoric fish catches and to assess human impact on inshore fisheries

    Open AccessFoss Leach, Joel Davidson et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2001Citada por: 8Referencias: 5

    Archaeological collections of fish bones from previously excavated sites in New Zealand are being re-examined and selected bones measured in order to estimate original fish size, reconstruct prehistoric fish catches and assess human impact on the fishery over the course of about 800 years of New Zealand prehistory. Several problems hamper this research, such as small sample sizes, lack of significant stratigraphy at many sites, inconsistent field…

Un tel contraste entre des parties adjacentes du même site est des plus inhabituels dans le Pacifique. Dive…

    Twenty-four measurements were taken on five of the paired cranial bones and the otoliths of a modern sample of 177 blue cod. Parapercis colias. Regression analysis was performed on these measurements to estimate live fork length and ungutted weight. A number of regression models were examined (linear, logarithmic, exponential and power curve) to work out the optimum estimator for each bone measurement. It was found that live fork length of this s…
