The development of Sahul agriculture with Australia as bystander
The distribution of food-plants-both potential and actually exploited - reflects the natural history of contact across the seas and through the region, often long before Pleistocene times. The later and the human contribution has to be discerned from varied lines of evidence. The inventive process of early domestication leading to cultivation in the Sahulian north (New Guinea) was not a part of plant adaptation in the south (Australia). Neither d…
The origins of subsistence agriculture in Oceania and the potentials for future tropical food crops
The Origins of Agriculture
The eight case studies in this book -- each a synthesis of available knowledge about the origins of agriculture in a specific region of the globe -- enable scholars in diverse disciplines to examine humanity's transition to agricultural societies. Contributors include: Gary W. Crawford, Robin W. Dennell, and Jack R. Harlan

The Southeast Solomon Islands Cultural History Programme
The Southeast Asian Foundations of Oceanic Agriculture
The assumption of the Southeast Asian origin of Oceanic agriculture is examined on the following bases: a) The root crop precedence to rice as the widely adopted food staple in SE Asia, and the significance of this precedence to agricultural diffusion into Oceania. b) A review of recent evidence in regard to a). c) The significance of early environmental adaptations in New Guinea that could indicate that agriculture there was as early as any such…
Some nutritional aspects of the Philippine Tasaday diet
Discrepancies have often been observed in the estimated nutritional requirements of groups of primitive peoples and the availability of nutrients as estimated or measured from dietary data. Although the scientific evidence to support the assumptions regarding the diet of prehistoric man is quite scanty, opportunities still exist to gain an insight into the diet of early man. Fernandez and Lynch have estimated that the Tasaday adult spends some th…
Arboriculture in the subsistence of Santa Cruz, Solomon Islands
Ethnobotany from the voyages of Mendaña and Quiros in the Pacific
Sixteenth‐century Spanish explorers in the South Pacific carefully recorded details of indigenous food plants and crop yields. It is argued that the apparent agricultural wealth of the Solomon Islands encouraged Mendaña's plans for a colonial settlement; the failure of which can be attributed, in part, to their lack of understanding of the traditional economic system
