Reconsidering the ‘Neolithic’ at Manim rock shelter, Wurup Valley, Papua New Guinea

Abstract

Is the 'Neolithic' relevant to the highlands of Papua New Guinea?What needs to be pointed out at this stage is that there was no point at which a homogenous Neolithic 'package' of economic practice and material culture ever existed.(Thomas 1999:14) … in practice the evidence which is available to us relates to a more complex, messy and fragmented series of developments, and that any attempt to define a particular set of attributes as constituting the Neolithic will be arbitrary in the extreme.(Thomas 1999
