It has been deliberately left without further qualifications as an invitation to discussion. I wish to thank Mrs Carihel White and Mr M.

Abstract:	Ethnographic observations have been used to help interpret archaeological material at least since John Speed featured Red Indians in his Historie of Great Britanie in 1611 (Kendrick, 1950, 122-5). By 1966 anthropologists at a 'Man the Hunter' Conference in Chicago were sharply divided between those who think present hunter-gatherers are a few poor relicts and those who believe they represent reasonably adequately the range of early homo sapiens societies. It is proposed here to bypass the general problem and to outline two particular detailed studies which attempt to relate past and present aspects of life in the Eastern Highlands District of New Guinea.
