Beyond museum walls
As digital transformation reshapes early childhood education, Science Discovery Children’s Museums (SDCMs) emerge as uniquely positioned spaces to foster rich, multimodal learning environments that extend early literacy learning beyond the museum walls through family engagement. This paper presents a case study of an 8-week transmedia program co-designed with an Australian SDCM to foster young children’s multimodal literacy development through ST…
Developmentalism in Late Qing China, 1874–1911
This article explores the changing historical referents that Qing officials used in arguing for the extension of direct governance to the empire's frontier regions from the 1870s to the 1900s. In the 1870s, Shen Baozhen and Zuo Zongtang made the case for a change of governance on Taiwan and in Xinjiang respectively by reference to past Chinese frontier management. However, in the first decade of the twentieth century Cen Chunxuan and Yao Xiguang …
Introduction
This article argues for a ‘history from between’ as the best lens through which to understand the construction of historical knowledge between East Asia and Europe. ‘Between’ refers to the space framed by East Asia and Europe, but also to the global circulations of ideas in that space, and to the subjective feeling of embeddedness in larger-than-local contexts that being in such a space makes possible. Our contention is that the outcomes of such …
Overlapping Histories, Co-produced Concepts
Many historians of China, particularly those based in North America, insist that the Qing dynasty's territorial expansion was imperial and comparable to the imperial expansions of other global empires. Other historians, particularly but not only those based in the People's Republic of China, continue to resist this interpretation. They argue that dynastic expansion in the Ming and Qing periods was simply a form of nation-state building, akin to s…
Some Corner of a Chinese Field
The memory of the foreign involvement in the Taiping war lasted long after the fall of the Taiping capital at Nanjing in 1864. The events were commemorated by various actors, Chinese and foreign, from the end of the war until the end of the treaty-port century in 1943 when the right to extraterritoriality was abrogated. This article explores the commemorations of the foreign role through three media: the issuing of medals to foreign fighters, the…
Maritime Raiding, International Law and the Suppression of Piracy on the South China Coast, 1842–1869
This paper explores how piracy was defined and eventually reduced in the South China seas between 1842 and 1869. In the early 1840s, a large increase in maritime raiding led British agents to complain about the unwillingness of Qing officials to suppress disorder and drove the Hong Kong administration to propose its own solutions. British metropolitan officials nonetheless rejected many of these measures, arguing that they ran counter to establis…
Empire and Identity in Guizhou
Reviewed by: Empire and Identity in Guizhou: Local resistance to Qing expansion by Jodi L. Weinstein Jonathan Chappell Empire and Identity in Guizhou: Local resistance to Qing expansion By Jodi L. Weinstein. Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2014. The novelty of Jodi Weinstein's book, Empire and Identity in Guizhou: Local resistance to Qing expansion, lies in its adoption of a "livelihoods approach" to understand Zhongjia attempts to negot…
The Limits of the Shanghai Bridgehead
This article discusses the rationale behind British intervention in the Taiping civil war in China and the episode’s wider significance for understanding nineteenth-century British imperial expansion. I argue that the most productive way to understand the shape of the limited British intervention in the war is through analysing the relative strength of distinct bridgeheads of British interest in China. British interests in Shanghai grew rapidly i…

Prehistoric maritime migration in the Pacific islands
Long-distance human migration across the Pacific Ocean occurred during the late Holocene and originated almost entirely in the west. As prevailing tradewinds blow from the east, the mechanisms of prehistoric seafaring have been debated since the sixteenth century. Inadequacies in propositions of accidental or opportunistic drifting on occasional westerlies were exposed by early computer simulation. Experimental voyaging in large, fast, weatherly …
Comparative Radiocarbon Dating of Lignite, Pottery, and Charcoal Samples from Babeldaob Island, Republic of Palau
It is difficult to construct archaeological chronologies for Babeldaob, the main island of Palau (western Micronesia), because the saprolitic clays of the dominant terraced-hill sites and associated ceramic sherds often contain old carbon that originated in lignites. This has implications, as well, for chronologies of sedimentary sequences. Comparative analysis of the dating problem using lignite, pottery, and charcoal samples indicates that, in …
Cosmogenic nuclide ages for Last Glacial Maximum moraine at Schnells Ridge, Southwest Tasmania
Moraines on Schnells Ridge, southwest Tasmania, have been dated using in situ 10 Be. An age of 19,400 ± 600 yr is indicated for the well-preserved innermost moraine from consistent measurements on four large quartzite boulders. This corresponds closely with exposure ages reported by T.T. Barrows et al. (2002, Quaternary Science Reviews 21, 159–173) for Last Glacial Maximum glacial features farther north in Tasmania and southeast Australia. In con…
Variability in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation Through a Glacial-Interglacial Cycle
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most potent source of interannual climate variability. Uncertainty surrounding the impact of greenhouse warming on ENSO strength and frequency has stimulated efforts to develop a better understanding of the sensitivity of ENSO to climate change. Here we use annually banded corals from Papua New Guinea to show that ENSO has existed for the past 130,000 years, operating even during “glacial” times of s…
Sea Level Change Through the Last Glacial Cycle
Sea level change during the Quaternary is primarily a consequence of the cyclic growth and decay of ice sheets, resulting in a complex spatial and temporal pattern. Observations of this variability provide constraints on the timing, rates, and magnitudes of the changes in ice mass during a glacial cycle, as well as more limited information on the distribution of ice between the major ice sheets at any time. Observations of glacially induced sea l…

Reconciliaion of late Quaternary sea levels derived from coral terraces at Huon Peninsula with deep sea oxygen isotope records
Beyond the radiocarbon limit in Australian archaeology and Quaternary research
Allen (1994) and Allen & Holdaway (1995), noticing the pattern in early radiocarbon dates from Australia, have advanced the notion their limit records the human settlement of the continent. A critical analysis of context and content in those carbon determinations leads to a different view. The results may be disconcerting for every region which builds its late Pleistocene chronologies on radiocarbon
The origin of Anadara shell mounds at Weipa, North Queensland, Australia
We examine the criteria for distingishing middens from natural shell accumulations, in the light of the Stone's (1992, 1993) hypothesis that large shell mounds, dominated by the bivalve Anadara, in the Weipa area are scrub fowl nests built from shelly chenier ridge deposits that formed by natural geomorphologic processes. Several previous investigators have considered that the same mounds were humanly made. We present fresh field observations fro…
Holocene Coral Reef Terraces and Coseismic Uplift of Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea
As many as six levels of emerged Holocene coral terraces occur along 40 km of coastline on the Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea, recording uplift history since culmination of the postglacial transgression. The Holocene reef crest, ca. 6000 yr B.P., is tilted down to the northwest, parallel to the coast and concordant with the deformation of the last interglacial coral reef terrace, and descends from 23 to 12 m in the study area. The pattern and r…

Stone Axe Factories in the Highlands of East New Guinea
The writer spent three months, during late 1963 and early 1964, journeying through the New Guinea Highlands in an attempt to trace sites where stone axes have been made in the recent past. In the Simbai (Tsembaga) and Kaironk areas steel has effectively replaced stone only within the last ten years, though some steel had been traded in a decade or so earlier (Rappaport, n.d.; Bulmer, personal communication). In the other Highlands area discussed …

Thresholds and lags in geomorphologic changes
The concept of thresholds in geomorphology is developed with reference to several different systems. Thresholds are classified as transitive or intransitive, according to whether a change of geomorphic state or process is caused by a persistent change of external boundary conditions or by a relatively short‐lived perturbation of boundary conditions. Lags enter the system when a geomorphic change persists for some time after disruption of boundary…

Music is here with us, every day, yet we are slow to examine and to understand it. Let us not speak of traditional musical history, which thus far is a fragmentary history of fine-art music; let us not speak of a philosophy of music, nor of the realization of acoustical theories, nor of teaching methods, nor of the sociology of interrelations, nor of techniques.... It behooves us to examine music in other ways: to turn it this way and that, to se…

Natural diversion of the ramu river in Papua New Guinea
At present, the Ramu River in Papua New Guinea flows directly into the Bismarck Sea, while the adjacent Keram flows into the Sepik River. There is evidence to suggest that the Ramu previously occupied the existing Keram water course, and has been gradually diverting its discharge into its present channel, probably over the last 4,000 years. The diversion process is not complete yet, and during the wet season flood water still travels across these…

Electrical analogues of spatial diffusion processes
Chappell J. M. A. and Webber M. J. (1970) Electrical analogues of spatial diffusion processes, Reg. Studies 4, 25–39. Diffusion processes of two types are currently recognized by geographers—(i) diffusion of innovation or an infectious component through a closed community, and (ii) diffusion of similar vectors through an extensive region, within which there may be population nodes. The latter problem is qualitatively similar to problems of heat, …
Some Effects of Partial Recrystallisation on 14C dating Late Pleistocene Corals and Molluscs
The issue of sea level during the last interstadial revolves largely around the problem of achieving reliable 14 C dates for shell carbonate from Late Pleistocene shallow marine and littoral deposits. A set of 27 samples were collected from Late Pleistocene reefs in New Guinea, and measurements made of 13 C, 14 C, plus the degree of recrystallisation (determined by X-ray diffraction). The original fibrous aragonite structure of the samples (coral…
Astronomical Theory of Climatic Change
Quaternary paleotemperatures and sea level records, from both deep sea cores and dated shorelines, provide the basis for testing the Milankovitch hypothesis of climatic change. The longest and most detailed records include (1) oxygen isotope analyses of Caribbean and Atlantic deep sea cores, (2) paleoecological analyses of the same cores, and (3) radiometrically dated raised coral reefs from New Guinea and elsewhere, representing times of relativ…
Quaternary Sea Level Fluctuations on a Tectonic coast
Emerged coral reef terraces on the Huon Peninsula in New Guinea were reported in a reconnaissance dating study by Veeh and Chappell 1970. Age definition achieved was not good for several important terraces, and we report here a series of new 230 Th/ 234 U dates, which further clarify the history of late Quaternary eustatic sea level fluctuations. More than 20 reef complexes are present, ranging well beyond 250,000 yr old: we are concerned with th…
Late Quaternary glacio- and Hydro-Isostasy, on a Layered Earth
Isostatic response of the Earth to changes in Quaternary Times of ice and water loads is partly elastic, and partly involves viscous mantle flow. The relaxation spectrum of the Earth, critical for estimation of the mantle flow component, is estimated from published determinations of Fennoscandian and Laurentide rebound, and of the nontidal acceleration of the Earth's rotation. The spectrum is consistent with an asthenosphere viscosity around 10 2…

A Large Drop in Atmospheric 14 C/ 12 C and Reduced Melting in the Younger Dryas, Documented with 230 Th Ages of Corals
Paired carbon-14 ( 14 C) and thorium-230( 230 Th) ages were determined on fossil corals from the Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea. The ages were used to calibrate part of the 14 C time scale and to estimate rates of sea-level rise during the last deglaciation. An abrupt offset between the 14 C and 230 Th ages suggests that the atmospheric 14 C/ 12 C ratio dropped by 15 percent during the latter part of and after the Younger Dryas (YD). This promi…
