First steps on the Ngunawal language revitalization journey
No full textIn this paper we present a research project driven by a community of Aboriginal people, the Ngunawal, in south eastern Australia who have joined the growing movement in our country to ‘wake up’ our sleeping languages. It is a unique partnering between a peak research agency for Indigenous studies in Australia and a community group formed specifically for the purposes of language revival – the Ngayuriija Ngunawal Language Group.
The ancestral territory of the Ngunawal includes the city of Canberra, Australia’s national capital. The focus on a programme of community outreach in our own region led us to seek to support the Ngunawal community to explore ways in which their language can be revitalized. It has also grown from our work on developing a national Framework document for teaching Australian languages in schools. This happened through the Australian Government initiative to develop a standard Australian Curriculum. Teaching languages in schools has been a driving force for communities keen to see their children have access to studying their own languages in our schools. Indeed this is a key motivating factor for many of the Ngunawal.
Unfortunately the documentation for this language is relatively meagre, much of it early manuscript sources and no more than a few minutes of audio-recording. This means that there will be a need to fill gaps not just in vocabulary but also in morphosyntax. Because each Australian Language has owners this will involve negotiations with neighbouring language communities.
We will describe the process of this language revitalization initiative from the perspective of the researchers as well as that of the Ngunawal community. It has been a slow process in part because of the limited documentation of the language but more importantly because of the need to form a partnership based on trust and commitment. As this partnership has developed the Ngunawal community has gradually revealed additional documentation which has been compiled within the community largely independent of the academy. We will display some of the products of this partnership and reflect on the impact of Ngunawal language revitalization not just on the Ngunawal community but also on the wider Australian community
Pudding Pan : a Roman shipwreck and its cargo in context
No full textThrough contact with national and international institutions and with private collectors, this study has doubled the known assemblage. Analysis of the enhanced assemblage has confirmed the existence of at least three discrete sources of material dating from c AD65-85, c c AD175-195, and from the early third century. As well as confirming that, contrary to popular belief, artefacts continue to be recovered from the site, local fisherman have also provided more accurate locational information for two of the sources which has clarified the long-standing confusion between Pudding Pan and Pan Sand. Detailed analysis of the wear and damage coupled with assessment of the rate at which artefacts have been recovered suggests that the main second century source represents a significant and cohesive buried deposit of plain samian wares. This has serious implications for our current understanding of the trade in pottery which consensus suggests was of too low value to transport in its own right, hence the notion of a parasitic, piggy-back trade. However, this study has shown that supporting evidence from Mediterranean shipwrecks reflects a heavy detection bias in favour of amphora-laden wrecks; pottery cargoes do exist but have only been found on multiple wreck sites during the investigation of other more visible wrecks. In this light, the Pudding Pan cargo is assessed as one link in the samian supply chain; the recovered assemblage is compared with deposits from similar sites closely associated with the trade in samian wares such as shops, warehouses and dockside dumps. The assemblage is also compared with samian assemblages from probable destination sites in Britain which reveals that decorated wares appear to have been deliberately excluded in favour of large plain bowls.</p
Archiving languages and song in Wadeye: Future access to song knowledge
No full textWe present results of a project in Wadeye (Northern Territory, Australia) to document and make accessible public dance-song traditions of Murriny Patha clans. We discuss dissemination and storage of the results locally and within research institutional contexts, including community consultation to ensure that they approved of its direction and results
