Description:		These recordings were collected during an early morning birdwalk in Zeri. The recordings were made with a Zoom H4N and two external microphones: a head-mounted mic recording our main consultant Jimmy Nebni. The second external microphone was a shotgun (hyper-directional) to collect bird songs. The on-board Zoom mics recorded the ambient noise and conversations between the rest of the participants, including the researchers. Key to file names: .wav = on-board zoom track hm.wav = the isolated head-mounted track (main speaker) sg.wav = the isolated shotgun track (bird song) hmsg.wav = the combined main speaker and bird song tracks Keywords: Birds
		This project focuses on collecting multimedia documentation of multiple undescribed Papuan languages – Nen and Nambu (Morehead-Maro) and Kmntso (Tonda). Other nearby languages will have varrying degrees of description, including Idi, Nama, and Neme. All of these languages belong to an almost completely unknown family in Southern New Guinea. Based at the Australian National University in Canberra, plus collaborations with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and the PNG National Herbarium, the project will embed a German PhD student (Christian Döhler) in a team including a seasoned field linguist (Nick Evans) and a post-doc (Julia Colleen Miller), two Germany-based typologists (Bernard Comrie and Volker Gast) from the FAUST (Future Archive User Simulation Team), plus participation on targeted fieldtrips by ethnobiologist Chris Healey (ANU) and botanist Kipiro Damas (PNG National Herbarium, Madang). Particular foci of the documentation will be the natural world (especially ethnobotany and ethnoornithology), swidden cultivation, fire management and ethnoecology, mythology, auto-ethnography, ethnomathematics, and microvariation in language use in a situation of daily multilingualism.nichola
