Book launch Archaeologies of Island Melanesia: Current approaches to landscapes, exchange and practice Edited by Mathieu Leclerc and James Flexner The book will be launched by Professor Richard Miles ‘The island world of Melanesia—ranging from New Guinea and the Bismarcks through the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia—is characterised more than anything by its boundless diversity in geography, language and culture. The deep historical roots of this diversity are only beginning to be uncovered by archaeological investigations, but as the contributions to this volume demonstrate, the exciting discoveries being made across this region are opening windows to our understanding of the historical processes that contributed to such remarkably varied cultures. Archaeologies of Island Melanesia offers a sampling of some of the recent and ongoing research that spans such topics as landscape, exchange systems, culture contact and archaeological practice, authored by some of the leading scholars in Oceanic archaeology.’ Professor Patrick Vinton Kirch Professor of Anthropology, University of Hawai‘i Published by ANU Press press.anu.edu.au
