The island of New Guinea, once the northern frontier of the Pleistocene continent of Sahul, remains an underrepresented region for archaeological research today.This is undoubtedly the case when compared to Australia, the other half of that giant continent.The reasons for this vary and are numerous and are for another time, however, it stands that this imbalance impacts the way New Guinea is represented within our discipline.This disparity is somewhat bleak given, as White and O'Connell (1982) point out, for much of the period of human settlement-80% of time in fact-New Guinea and Australia were still this single landmass.This paper argues the importance of New Guinea for archaeological investigation by showing its value in offering insight into the overall human story, and outlining what archaeology as a discipline can gain through these endeavours
