New Guinea, and especially Papua New Guinea, is the last country in the world where ethnologists were able to closely observe, film and photograph the whole manufacturing chaînes opératoires of polished stone felling tools, from quarry extraction to finished tool use. Research on the polished blades of PNG has evolved over the years, following changing philosophies and research agendas.

This presentation of Irian Jaya axes therefore tackles a topic that remains mostly unexplored. Until now,...

"You want to fall in love with Fresh Meat, huh?" Ye Jiayao's mouth was dry from being slammed into the wall by a man. The man's voice was deep and sexy, full of danger.
