Description:		These recordings were collected during an morning birdwalk around the garden site, Zeri. The main local consultant was Jimmy Nébni, who wore a head-mounted microphone and provided commentary. Researchers Chris Healey, Nick Evans and Julia Colleen Miller elicited bird names and stories along the way. Bird song was also collected using a shotgun microphone. Many unnamed participants went on this walk. Key to the audio files naming (all audio tracks were recorded simultaneously using the 4 channel Zoom H4N): = audio track recorded using Zoom H4N's onboard stereo microphone. Content includes comments by those people near the main consultant. hm = AKG C520 headmounted mic for high quality recordings of Nen bird names and commentary. sg = Audio Tecnica AT8015 shotgun mic focusing on collecting bird song along the walk. hmsg = the blended track of the headmounted and shotgun track, with boosted volume for the birdsong. This creates a track with the birdsongs and commentary by the speaker. Track 03 contains a story in Nen about kaeko nests approx 36 minutes into track. Kaeko does not build its own nest. It takes over some other bird's nest. This story has been collected a couple of times. The amusing zo story is at the end of this final track and has been extracted, transcribed, and translated. Keywords: birds; mammals; 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
