Description:Walk to the hamlet of Masu. This is Chris' last birdwalk before departure to Wando. Moses leads the walk, heading the the hamlet a few kilometres outside of Rouku Village. One audio track of ambient sounds from the shotgun microphone, focusing on the bird songs. Videos of the walk include: tci20160819-01-JMc01: Scenery footage walking on the road from Rouku Village toward Morehead. tci20160819-01-JMc02: Mostly scenery with a bit of bird-spotting along the road from Rouku to Morehead. We leave the road in this clip, walking toward the Morehead River. tci20160819-01-JMc03: In this clip, we come across the large bush fowl mound. This is measured to compare with others found around Bimadbn Village and Zeri (the garden hamlet 15km from Bimadbn). tci20160819-01-JMc04: More scenery footage as we approach Masu (butterfly, anthill, gardens). Different fences surround the garden sites. tci20160819-01-JMc05: Our arrival at Masu and scenes of the buildings there and more footage of the surrounding scenery, including a windy copse of bamboo. tci20160819-01-JMc06: Walking from Masu to the orehead River. We spend some time there and get names of waterbirds. tci20160819-01-JMc06: Walking back to Rouku Village Keywords: Birds; Gardening; Marterial culture; Village descriptions; Insects
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
