This report is a Desktop Study, with inputs from preliminary consultations and fact-finding in Port Moresby, namely at the National Museum and Art Gallery, Papua New Guinea and University of Papua New Guinea Library, but also at the National Library, National Archives and Australian National University Libraries in Canberra, Australia. It outlines the utility of aerial imagery from early surveys obtained since 1956 as a tool for archaeological interpretation within the AOI.
This report presents a provisional summary of archaeological excavations conducted in the surrounds of Madilogo (Ma i) as part of a study commissioned by the Department of Environment and Conservation as a Kokoda Initiative activity. Excavation site selection was based on previous predictive modelling and extrapolated evidence collected from previous fieldwork at Kosipe, Kokoda, and Madilogo excavations.
The information presented here is based on archival studies and fieldwork in the project area, as part of a social mapping project commissioned by the Department of Environment and Conservation as a Kokoda Initiative activity.
The purpose of this report is to plot series of programs that will enable the PNG National Museum and Art Gallery to develop the competencies, procedures and approaches and necessary to carry out this function in a sustainable manner so it can preserve the Kokoda and WW2 collections. This report is also aimed at identifying the priorities in the Kokoda Collection.
