System Failures in Care Continuity and Coordination for People with Multiple Long-Term Conditions
Background The growing number of patients with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) presents major challenges for continuity and coordination of care across patients, carers, professionals, and healthcare systems. Objectives To identify and contrast key problem areas in continuity and coordination of care from the perspectives of patients, carers, and healthcare professionals (HCPs), and define requirements for a system design toolbox to address…
Planning to Minimize the Human Muscular Effort during Forceful Human-Robot Collaboration
This work addresses the problem of planning a robot configuration and grasp to position a shared object during forceful human-robot collaboration, such as a puncturing or a cutting task. Particularly, our goal is to find a robot configuration that positions the jointly manipulated object such that the muscular effort of the human, operating on the same object, is minimized while also ensuring the stability of the interaction for the robot. This r…

Breakaway Americas
Middle to Late Holocene near-shore foraging strategies at Caution Bay, Papua New Guinea
How long have dogs been in Melanesia? New evidence from Caution Bay, south coast of Papua New Guinea
A Holocene record of savanna vegetation dynamics in southern lowland Papua New Guinea
Changing ceramic traditions at Agila ancestral village, Hood Bay, Papua New Guinea
Accounts of New Guinea’s recent past are replete with both archaeological and ethnographic evidence of trade that indirectly connect virtually the entire country from coast to highland. One consequence has been a bias towards central places (e.g. Mailu Island) and/or large-scale production villages (e.g. of the Port Moresby region) as origin locations for distributed goods. Inversely, there has also been attention paid to distant, recipient point…
Ruisasi 1 and the Earliest Evidence of Mass-produced Ceramics in Caution Bay (Port Moresby Region), Papua New Guinea
The history of pottery use along the south coast of Papua New Guinea spans from Lapita times, here dated to 2900–2600 cal BP, through to mass production of pottery associated with a number of ethnographically-known interaction (and exchange) networks. Understanding the antecedents and developmental histories of these interaction networks is of considerable importance to archaeological research from local to western Pacific geographical scales. Th…
Imported obsidian at Caution Bay, south coast of Papua New Guinea
Until now, the evidence for imported obsidian along the south coast of Papua New Guinea has been limited to eleven excavated sites all dating after c. 2,000 cal. BP. Here we present new archaeological evidence for the sourcing and importation of 4,689 obsidian artefacts from 30 excavated sites at Caution Bay. pXRF analysis of a sample of the artefacts revealed that all but one came from a source on West Fergusson Island some 670 km away. During L…

Phased redevelopment of an ancient Gunditjmara fish trap over the past 800 years
Critics point out that a weakness of Lourandos’ ‘intensification’ paradigm for southwestern Victoria is a lack of dates for iconic fish traps of the Lake Condah region. McNiven et al. (2012) detailed excavations at Muldoons Trap Complex at Lake Condah in Gunditjmara Country, where charcoal recovered from channel infill sediments indicated initial construction at least 6600 cal. BP, making the site one of the world’s oldest known fish traps. Chann…
Holocene pollen records from Caution Bay, southern mainland Papua New Guinea
This study presents new palynological data from Caution Bay, south-central Papua New Guinea (PNG). It explores Holocene mangrove transitional events along a tide-dominated shoreline, and expands reconstructive detail for the wider southern PNG lowlands. Coinciding with recent regional archaeological research, this study also holds implications for interpretations of the Holocene settlement of Caution Bay and long-term people–landscape interaction…
High-resolution radiocarbon dating of marine materials in archaeological contexts
Terrestrial engagements by terminal Lapita maritime specialists on the southern Papuan coast
Insights into Austronesian environmental impacts on the New Guinea mainland are negligible, as until now no conclusive evidence for Lapita settlement of mainland New Guinea had been found (e.g. Lilley 2008:79) and the period of concern reveals 'very little correlation with [anthropogenic] environmental change' (Hope and Haberle 2005:548). The recent excavation of Lapita and post-Lapita sites dating between 2900 and 2000 years ago at Caution Bay i…
An early-Holocene Aboriginal coastal landscape at Cape Duquesne, southwest Victoria, Australia
Radiocarbon determinations used the Libby 14 C half life (5568 years).
Forum Introduction
We thank all the commentators for their thoughtful comments, and especially Jim Specht for initiating this stimulating Forum on the discovery of Lapita ceramics at Caution Bay on the south coast of mainland Papua New Guinea. All flag numerous important implications of these discoveries for Pacific archaeology. To make the most economical use of our limited space to respond, we address key Lapita-related criticisms and queries raised by the five c…
A New Ceramic Assemblage from Caution Bay, South Coast of Mainland PNG
This paper reports on the ceramics from Squares A and B of Bogi 1, a newly excavated site at Caution Bay, south coast of mainland Papua New Guinea. A dense cultural horizon dated from c. 2150 to c. 2100 calBP and preceded by earlier cultural deposits contains previously undescribed ceramics of limited decorative variability almost exclusively focused on Anadara shell edge impressions below finger-grooved lips, which we term the Linear Shell Edge-…
New Direction In Human Colonisation of The Pacific
Expansion of Austronesianspeaking peoples from the Bismarck Archipelago out into the Pacific commencing c.3300 cal BP represents the last great chapter of human global colonisation. Bismarck Indonesia Archipelago Papua New Guinea Torres Strait Caution Bay The earliest migrants were bearers of finelymade dentate-stamped Lapita pottery, hitherto found only across Island Melanesia and western Polynesia. We document the first known occurrence of Lapi…
Dating Aboriginal stone-walled fishtraps at Lake Condah, southeast Australia
Nawarla Gabarnmang, a 45,180±910 cal BP Site in Jawoyn Country, Southwest Arnhem Land Plateau
Recent excavations at Nawarla Gabarnmang in Jawoyn country, southwest Arnhem Land have produced a long sequence of AMS radiocarbon determinations on individual pieces of charcoal reliably associated with stone artefacts dating back to 45,180±910 cal BP. It represents one of the earliest radiocarbon-dated archaeological sites in Australia. Here we report on initial results
Box Gully
Recent archaeological investigation at Box Gully, located on the north western tip of the Lake Tyrrell lunette, has resulted in the first documentation of pre‐30,000 calBP Aboriginal occupation of the extensive area between the Murray River and the Tasmanian highlands. The remains of repeated small scale camping episodes were uncovered in a palaeosol capping a buried pelletal clay lunette. Five new radiocarbon determinations on charcoal associate…
