1996 | In a tropical marine climate: Conservation Management of Historic Metals. APT Bulletin 27(1-2), 60-68. A severe tropical climate and a lack of maintenance have resulted in huge inventory of World War II (WWII) sites and objects in the Pacific Area (in both US territories and in the new republics of Freely Associated States of Micronesia) in an advanced, accelerated state of deterioration. How can we assist the Micronesians in preserving a brief moment in time when two foreign nations fought a war on their homeland? The commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the WWII has come and gone. Although the war has not been forgotten, the current hard economic situation in the US, Micronesia, and elsewhere has not been the ideal time to secure the preservation of these vulnerable resources. Since we do not have adequate funds to preserve these irreplaceable cultural resources, what can we do to slow the rate of deterioration? |

Pp. 107-127. As part of the Micronesian Cultural Resources study a brief geomorphological survey was carried out on Taroa Island, Maloelap Atoll, to assess the rate of shoreline modification and the implications on the management of cultural heritage sites. Drawing on data derived from physical survey work in 1989 and historic data provided by the bomb target maps and aerial photographs taken by US forces during World War II it was found that substantial shoreline change had occurred at the lagoonal side of Taroa and the ocean side of Eoon-epje, and islet south of Taroa, now joined by a causeway. The construction of the causeway as part of the Japanese base development was seen as causal to the erosion because the current patterns had changed with the closure of the former reef channel between Taroa and Eoon-epje. |

During the survey for the Micronesian Cultural Resources Study small remains of human bone were encountered inside the concrete anti-bomb personnel shelter associated with barracks building A of the Japanese airbase on Taroa Island, Maloelap Atoll. The report provides a description of the bone fragments, which were too small to yield any meaningful measurements. |

1997 | Floating obsidian and its implications on the interpretation of Pacific prehistory. Antiquity 71, 188-193A piece of pumice encountered among other drift material on Nadikdik Atoll, Marshall Islands, was found to have a large chunk of obsidian attached to it. As the atoll had been devastated by a typhoon and associated storm surge in 1905 the deposition of the piece must have occurred by sea-borne transport in the last 90 years. The paper discusses this and similar incidence of raw material distributed by ocean drift. While occurrence of obsidian in far-flung places is likely to have been caused by human transport, sea-borne dispersal cannot be excluded offhand. |
