- W92954883 abstract "This thesis examines claims recently put forward by McNiven et al. (2006) for a migration into the Torres Strait by mainland New Guinea groups c.2500 BP. Support for this hypothesis rests mostly on fragments of pottery dating from c.2 500 BP that have been recovered from the Mask Cave, Pulu Islet (Western Islands) site. The discovery of ancient pottery in the Torres Strait has implications for how researchers currently understand interactive processes amongst populations living in the New Guinea-Torres Strait-Australia region c.2500 BP. Proving or disproving McNiven et al.'s (2006), or any other, hypothesis is not the main aim of this paper. However, critical evaluation of the evidence and arguments put forward by McNiven et al. (2006) and others, and viewed within certain theoretical perspectives, shows that a migration hypothesis is not easily supported. Alternative explanations are explored, including diffusionary processes centered on the Eastern Islands of Torres Strait, which show much clearer archaeological affiliations with mainland New Guinea populations than do the Western Islands. Examining how the skills necessary to create pottery arrived in the Western Islands of Torres Strait is as significant for our understanding of the prehistory of the region as the discovery of the pottery itself." @default.
