Abstract: This paper reports on the excavation of the cave of Buang Merabak in New Ireland. The site was occupied before 30, 000 years ago and has produced evidence for very early shellfishing and movement of obsidian. Buang Merabak is an important member of a network of excavated sites with evidence for late Pleistocene human occupation in western Melanesia.
