“…To examine this we could ask: did the Bel move from a 'coloniser' mode of lithic production to a 'trader' mode? This change has been posited for the southeast of New Guinea, where emergent trade networks focussed on redistributing ceramics, lithic material, and other objects around the coast (Summerhayes and Allen 2007). Irwin (1991) identified two different modes of exchange: the 'coloniser mode' which involved gift exchange between new communities and parent communities to maintain social links, followed by a later 'trader mode' which turned the same materials into commodities through established trade networks.…”

“…The Lapita cultural complex is archaeologically visible through the appearance of distinctively decorated ceramics (Kirch, ; Spriggs, ). Very few pre‐ceramic sites have been found in the lowland region of New Guinea, the earliest evidence of occupation (ca., 4000 BP) comes from pre‐ceramic deposits from Kukuba Cave (for an overview of south coast archaeological sites see Summerhayes and Allen, ).…”

“…At around 2000 BP, the number of settlement sites in the Port Moresby region and elsewhere along the south coast started to rapidly increase (Summerhayes and Allen, ). Material evidence indicate that the location and the success of these settlement sites were intrinsically linked with local and long‐distance trade and exchange systems (Allen, ; Allen et al, ).…”

“…Other researchers have used petrographic techniques, often in combination with bulk geochemical analyses, for sourcing of ceramics in the area based on the premise that variations in local geology should be reflected in the mineralogy of sand tempers collected from and used by past potters in these areas (cf. Bickler ; Summerhayes and Allen ; Worthing ). Some major findings from these previous studies were the recognition that temper and clay sourced from the Port Moresby Beds near Port Moresby (Figure ) were naturally enriched in chert, whereas sources at Lea Lea and Yule Island (Figure ) were more enriched in quartz and feldspar.…”
