World Heritage and the challenge of climate change: A Reform Agenda
The General Assembly of States Parties to the World Heritage Convention adopted a policy and strategy on climate change in 2007. Many of its actions remain to be delivered. Climate change has highlighted the limits of a system under stress to respond to an immense challenge. The General Assembly is again considering the issue, and a second World Heritage climate change policy is being developed to provide high-level guidance on response measures.…
Taking control of the production of heritage: Country and cultural values in the assessment of Aboriginal cultural heritage significance
Cultural heritage management produces hundreds of archaeological assessments each year. However, the level of input from Aboriginal people into the significance assessment of places uncovered during this commercial archaeological work is minimal at best. Assessment outcomes continue to privilege scientific archaeological concepts of significance. To address this, the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation has led the development of a tailor…

World Heritage and outstanding universal value in the Pacific Islands
Over the past two decades, the World Heritage Committee has sought to address the current and future credibility of the World Heritage List through capacitybuilding programmes in regions currently under-represented on the List, including the Pacific Islands, to support States Parties to nominate places of potential outstanding universal value. Since 2004, the Pacific 2009 World Heritage Programme has been successful in contributing to a dramatic …

Learning History Through Heritage Place Management in the Pacific Islands
In 2007, the University of the South Pacific offered a pilot unit in the undergraduate history programme titled ‘Introduction to Cultural Heritage Management’. The unit introduced students to conce
East Rennell World Heritage Site: Misunderstandings, inconsistencies and opportunities in the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the Pacific Islands
Continuing traditional land tenure and resource use pattern the landscapes and seascapes of the Pacific Islands, and the rights of customary land owners are enshrined in the constitutions of many Pacific Island states. The implications of this for heritage conservation programs implemented by national governments under international Conventions and Agreements are explored through a case study of East Rennell World Heritage site, the first site to…
Archaeology, local history and community in French Polynesia
In French Polynesia traditional ceremonial stone structures known as marae are a focus of communities reviving Polynesian culture. In the context of this changing social and political environment this paper explores the role of archaeology in a local community project developing a World Heritage nomination for the largest and best-known of these sites, Marae Taputapuatea. Although not germane to the project, the community is increasingly interest…

R U There? Ostracism by Cell Phone Text Messages.
Ostracism has a powerful negative effect on individuals. Face-to-face (i.e., social) ostracism is not necessary for these effects to emerge; they occur also in Internet ball toss games and within chat rooms. In previous research, ostracized individuals ob-served the interaction between other members of a group. In this experiment, the authors tested whether imagined ostracism is sufficient to inflict psychological pain. They used a triadic cell p…
The archaeology of No man's land: Indigenous camps at Corindi Beach, mid‐north coast New South Wales
At Corindi Beach on the mid‐north coast of New South Wales are five twentieth century campsites located on the fringes of the township, beside the town racecourse, an area called by local Aboriginal people ‘No man's land‘. These campsites are important symbols of the self‐sufficient lifestyle followed by the Corindi Beach Indigenous community in the twentieth century and are a physical reminder of cross‐cultural relationships between local people…

The need for Lapita: Explaining change in the Late Holocene Pacific archaeological record
The changes visible in the late Holocene archaeological record of Island Melanesia have traditionally been explained through a culture‐historical framework, in which the appearance of Lapita pottery and an associated suite of portable artefacts, plant and faunal remains was considered evidence of a distinct cultural group arriving in the region. Evidence from pre‐Lapita sites in the region, dating to as early as the late Pleistocene has demonstra…
Age and sex trends in ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. A comparison between hospital discharge and mortality data
Much of our knowledge concerning patterns of disease in the general population is based on mor- tality statistics. However, trends observed in connexion with fatal forms of a disease do not necessarily apply to less severe forms. Thus, there is often a need to supplement mortality data with more comprehensive information covering not only severe forms of illness but also milder ones
