Acknowledgements
A majority of the papers in this volume were originally presented at a Conference
of the Comparative Austronesian Project. We wish to thank all those associated
with that Conference, in particular Annegret Schemberg who was in charge of
the organization of the Conference and that of the Comparative Austronesian
Project in general.
The cover of this volume shows a single-outrigger travelling canoe from
Satawal Island in the Caroline Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia. It
is taken from François Edmund Pâris’s Essai sur la Construction Navale des
Peuples Extra-Européens, Plate 107. Paris: Bertrand, 1841. We are grateful to
Adrian Horridge for the use of his copy of this print. The textile that forms the
background for the cover comes from Kosrae Island, also in Micronesia. It is a
belt of vegetable fibres consisting of knotted multi-coloured warp threads
combined with supplementary weft weaving. For the reproduction of this textile,
we wish to thank the National Gallery of Australia and the former curator of
Asian textiles, Robyn Maxwell, who now teaches at The Australian National
University. The design of the cover is by Bronwyn Dillon of Griffiths & Young
Design Pty Ltd. The drawings and cartography in the volume have been done
by Theo Baumann and Jenny Sheehan of the Cartography Laboratory of the
Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies.
Putting together a volume of this sort with three editors and twenty
contributors is by no means an easy task. All of the careful and considered
copyediting of individual contributions, the proof-reading of these papers and
the preparation of the index for this volume have been done by Norma Chin to
whom we wish to express our particular thanks. It would be hard to imagine a
more able and more effective person with whom to work on the production of
a complex collection of papers.
