PREH 2005

Archaeology of the Pacific Islanders

Lecturers: Drs Glenn R. Summerhayes and Geoff Clark

PRELIMINARY HANDOUT (revised)

Course summary

The course covers the archaeology of the Pacific Islands, spanning Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, including New Zealand. The course will examine the evidence for the initial settlement of these regions, and also cultural developments through ancient times to the historical period.

Recommended Readings

P. Kirch 2000. On the Road of the winds. University of California Press

Only available in hardback. It is an up to date and extensive review of the issues covered in this course.

M. Spriggs 1997 The Island Melanesians. Oxford:Blackwells.

This has just come out in hardback but is very expensive to buy. If it was in paperback it would be one of the set texts for the course, covering the entire span of human occupation of the Bismarck Archipelago, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia and addressing many of the central questions of the course. Two copies of the book will be on 2 hour loan in Chifley during the course.

P. Bellwood 1987 The Polynesians. 2nd edition. London: Thames and Hudson.

Available in paperback it is a very useful introduction to the Polynesian area and its archaeology. Its disadvantage is that it is now 10 years out of date and a lot has happened in between.

P. Bellwood et al. (eds) 1995 The Austronesians. Canberra: Dept of Anthropology, RSPAS, ANU.

A good introduction to the linguistics, genetics, archaeology, history and anthropology of the Austronesian World connecting SE Asia and the Pacific Region. Only in part directly relevant to the course however. If you are intending also to take the SE Asian Archaeology course in future this would be a very useful purchase.

G. Summerhayes 2000. Lapita Interaction. Terra Australis 15. RSPAS, ANU.

An up to date volume dealing with current Lapita issues.

P. Kirch 1997. The Lapita Peoples: Ancestors of the Oceanic World. Blackwell,  Oxford.

Recent review of Lapita as seen through Kirch’s eyes. Useful review.

Proposed assessment

Assessment will be based on two essays or projects worth 40% each (3000 words each or equivalent) and 20% based on tutorial attendance and participation including a short 10 minute tutorial presentation. The first essay will be due on Wednesday 3^rd October and the final essay on Wednesday 24^th October. Essay topics will be discussed in the first tutorial. There will be penalties for lateness without a doctor's certificate. Tutorial attendance will be noted and will affect your final grade. Attendance at lectures is also most important as much of the material to be discussed is new, unpublished material. Students are advised to spread essay writing evenly over the course, and to write one essay from the topics given in the first half of the course and one from the second.

Tutorial times

NOTE: There will be no tutorial in the first week of classes.

Thursday 11.00 to 12.00 (room to be specified).

Lecture schedule

Lectures will be held on Wednesday and Thursday 10.00 to 11.00 in HAYDEN ALLEN LECTURE THEATRE 052.
