This project will explore relationships between material culture, language, geographical proximity, population size and density, subsistence systems, and environmental characteristics in two adjacent regions - the upper Sepik and the highlands of central New Guinea. The role of trade, inter-marriage, migration, ritual and warfare in affecting relationships among the variables will be assessed. This is the first project to examine so many objects (8000+) in such detail for two contrasting regions in the Pacific. It will clarify the role of language vis-a-vis other variables in determining the identifiability of objects produced in those regions and has practical cultural heritage outcomes.

该项目将探索两个相邻区域的物质文化，语言，地理邻近，人口大小和密度，生存系统和环境特征 - 上塞皮克和新几内亚中部的高地。将评估贸易，婚姻，移民，仪式和战争在影响变量之间关系中的作用。这是第一个针对太平洋的两个对比区域进行此类详细介绍的项目（8000+）的第一个项目。它将阐明语言相对于其他变量在确定这些地区产生的物体的识别性并具有实际文化遗产结果中的作用。
