Thanks for making and sharing this video. As a horticulture, agroforestry, and permaculture consultant and educator, I am obsessed with learning about the transition from hunter-gatherer to horticulture to agriculture. Many cultures who have been labelled as hunter gatherers actually were horticulturalists shifting landscapes to diversity of plants useful native and introduced plants, in successional agroforestryacross the landscape thru burning, weeding, harvesting, planting and seed dispersal, animal plant dispersal. Early anthropologists did not understand the sophisticated land management practices since they didn't see farms, fences, fields , domesticated animals and plants, or mono cultures. I believe Papua New Guinea may be of the places where deep ancient horticulture traditions and survived ice ages. Artifacts from 20,000+ years ago would be more degraded. Also digs might just stop at what is accepted as the recognized habitation/horticulturalist oldest dates instead of more expensive deeper digs where no articles have been found. Another element to consider is the traditional Hawaiian belief that the continent of Mu collapsed could mean that the much older horticultural sites are buried under the ocean and then people moved up the mountain to survive afterwards. Would be great to hear folks thoughts.. If anyone has links to useful resources to check out the latest archaeology, anthropology, environmental history research , that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your contribution toward your discovery new sites in simbai velleys, All of Kaironk valley (wan lek the old site) and Waim in Jimi valley... Great job and more to here from you. Bryan and rebecca womuk village..
I suggest you do more research in the Sialum area of Teawai Siasii District of Morobe Province. They have evidence of the Lapita Trading much older than those found in the Highlands of PNG. Lapita Trading was part of the Lapita Nations from Taiwan, Philippines, PNG, Tonga, Vanuatu and New Carlodonia.

I love how the local people are the ones to first lift these from their resting places.

Fabulous drone shots! And nice choice of soundtrack. We won't even mentioned the fabulous archaeology.
Interesting & informative video, nicely done. Congratulations on your discoveries. 👏
Hi Dr Ben!! Good to see your videos on RUclips!! Thankyou for sharing our history with the world
Hi Ben, fascinating stuff, do you go there often? and what about kuk swamp? Cheers for the upload :)

Great video, nicely edited!
Well done, Ben and Simon and everyone. Excellent video.
this is amazing
❤❤❤
Excellent video. Where are the artefacts currently being housed? Hopefully in the museum in POM.
Love it.
Ok but the music was a distraction. Couldnt you have used Jimi music or natural sounds.
Love PNG Geology.
PNG No. 1
Why was this site chosen for a dig?
