A New Melanesian Rock-Art Style: Figurative Engravings at Roche Mauprat, Arama Chiefdom, New Caledonia
The paper presents the initial study of a unique rock-art site discovered at the northern tip of the Mainland (Grande Terre) of New Caledonia. On the walls of a cliff-face at the foot of a karst outcrop near Roche Mauprat, people have carved successive layers of geometric and figurative motifs. The fine, detailed engraving style of some human figures is unlike anything identified to date in the rock-art of New Caledonia, where petroglyph anthropomorphic motifs are very rare. We present the main themes that have been recorded, including geometrics, groups of dancing figures and sets of traditional houses surrounded by trees. Only one European figure was identified, indicating that the main engraving period was probably pre-contact and pre-colonial. The paper discusses the relation of this new rock-art style to other art forms, and especially the well-studied Kanak engraved bamboo tradition that flourished during the second half of the nineteenth century in New Caledonia.
期刊介绍:
Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
