This project will document and analyze the social, economic and                 ritual variation in communities on the north coast of Papua New                 Guinea.  The researchers will photograph, describe, map and                     prepare an integrated database for a large body of previously                   unanalyzed material in the A. B. Lewis collection at the Field                  Museum of Natural History.  Much of the collection comprises                    objects made in one community but collected in another, and the                 researchers will create a regional analysis of material culture                 for this region of the world at the time of collection, in the                  early 20th century, which they will test with a field survey of                 current material culture in this area.                                                                                                                          This project is important because the relation of local                         communities to a regional culture is a fundamental problem in                   understanding society and culture.  A project which can increase                our understanding of this issue, especially with the time depth                 of this research, will help us understand how these local                       communities will interact in the future.
