Archaeologist and ARC DECRA fellow at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia) | Smithsonian Institution (NMNH) & Museums Victoria affiliate. Interested in all things cultural - Indigenous voyaging, exchange, heritage & museums
In this new🏺paper we help overturn some assumptions about trade on PNG's south coast

We looked at similar pottery designs across 100km of coast

Turns out, they spread not by trade but movement of women makers - intermarriage and community exchanges
