Experimental archaeologist, Wallace Raymond Ambrose 1933–2024
Jack: Professor Jack Golson, AO, 1926–2023
The new ANU Fellow's duties were to 'carry out and supervise research on the prehistory of Australia, Indonesia, Melanesia and neighbouring areas' (Allen 2019). The proposed research agenda was ambitious, innovative and timely; it called for skills for which Jack was already known. In the previous seven years, he had taught archaeology in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Auckland, the first such appointment in New Zealand. By 1…
The origins and dispersal throughout the Pacific islands of fehi bananas (Musa series Australimusa)
Fehi bananas are a Pacific Islands and eastern Indonesian assemblage of parthenocarpic diploid and triploid cultivars in Musa series Australimusa. Fehi cultivars were derived principally from M. maclayi, M. lolodensis and M. bukensiss.l. and related entities. Eleven Fehi cultivar groups comprising morphologically similar cultivars are described, along with naturalised forms from eastern Polynesia. Fehi cultivars have been referred to particular s…

Lepong: A New Obsidian Source in the Admiralty Islands, Papua New Guinea
A new obsidian source from northwest Manus, Papua New Guinea, is reported for the first time. The chemical signature for this new source was obtained using the electron microprobe, ICP‐MS, and PIXE‐PIGME, and the results were compared with known sources and artifacts from this region. The results show for the first time a more complex scenario of obsidian procurement and exchange than previously thought. Archaeological excavation and survey of Ma…
Development of strategies for effective communication of food risks and benefits across Europe: Design and conceptual framework of the FoodRisC project
The FoodRisC project offers a unique approach to the investigation of food risk/benefit communication. The effective spread of food risk/benefit information will assist initiatives aimed at reducing the burden of food-related illness and disease, reducing the economic impact of food crises and ensuring that confidence in safe and nutritious food is fostered and maintained in Europe

A study of nutrition and health claims – a snapshot of what’s on the Irish market
Objective To examine the use of nutrition and health claims on packaged foods commonly eaten in Ireland. Design An assessment of the labels of packaged food products that are commonly eaten in Ireland to determine the level of use of nutrition and health claims. Where present, the exact text of the claims as observed was recorded for seventeen different food categories and the claims categorised in accordance with EU Regulation 1924/2006 on nutri…

Public perceptions of the dioxin incident in Irish pork
In early December 2008, a global recall of Irish pork was initiated as a result of a subset of the national pork output being contaminated with dioxin. In this study, members of a panel from an Internet‐based longitudinal monitor of public opinion on food and health issues were used to assess public perceptions about the dioxin incident in late December. Although most respondents did not regard food as posing a risk to health, a larger proportion…
Bananas and People in the Homeland of Genus Musa: Not just pretty fruit
Bananas, perhaps the most recognisable of fruits, are nowhere more genetically diverse than in the southwest Pacific, where parthenocarpic fruit originated according to recent biomolecular evidence. In the wider Indo-Malesian area, homeland of the genus Musa L., understanding the domestication of bananas must include consideration of a much greater range of Musa species than just the few implicated in the parentage of the modern cultivars with se…

Pacific Bananas: Complex Origins, Multiple Dispersals
This paper reviews recent genetic evidence for the origins of the traditional cultivated bananas of the Pacific, and shows that they are unexpectedly complex. Current assumption of their prevailing west-to-east spread from Southeast Asia into the Pacific thus needs modification. Although bananas are widely assumed to have been part of the set of crops transported to Polynesia at first settlement, the linguistic evidence on which this is based und…
The loneliness of an obsidian source in southwest Manus
Of two obsidian source areas in the Admiralty Islands (Manus Province, Papua New Guinea), only the Lou‐Pam Islands source has a well‐established place in archaeological distributions both local and regional. From the other source area in southwest Manus Island, many sites have been recorded following their exposure by bulldozers. These sites contain retouched obsidian point fragments like those from the Emsin workshop site excavated on Lou Island…

Site survey of southwest Manus: A Preliminary Report
Bulldozer disturbance during logging in southwest Manus has revealed a high density of prehistoric settlement sites on hilltops in the hinterland, where archaeological evidence is scanty on undisturbed surfaces. There is no evidence of such a settlement pattern in the area in the recent past Collections salvaged include obsidian nodules, debitage and many finely retouched points of different forms. Although there is a little‐known source of obsid…
Wosene Kosrof of Ethiopia
Wosene Kosrof is an Ethiopian artist who understands the visual power of language. He knows that there was a time when words were like and would suddenly come alive, and what people wanted to happen could happen when all you had to do was say it,'1 and so he uses words for their intrinsic magic as well as for their and symbolic significance. Drawing his own Amharic calligraphy with its verbal and visual richness, he has created a body of work tha…

On the Prehistory of Western Melanesia: The significance of new data from the Admiralties
The significance of new discoveries and data on the prehistory of Western Melanesia from the Admirality Islands is discussed. The implication is thus that the origin of pottery in western Melanesia pre-dates the settlement of the Admiralties, and that its production by socially, not culturally, restricted specialists may be as old

Ahus of Another Colour: A comparison of two potting centres in the Admiralty Islands
Pottery making in the Admiralties has been largely carried on by communities on Ahus or Hus, a small coral islet to the north of Papua New Guinea and the other on Mbuke, a small volcanic island. The potting centres are discussed with two broad aims. The first is to clarify some aspects of cultural distinctiveness and economic specialization, exemplified by Hus, and the second aims is to compare pottery from two centres and assess the significance…
