Managing Animals In New Guinea: preying the game in the Highlands [dataset] Open Access

Managing Animals in New Guinea deals with the place of animals in the subsistence regime of New Guinea Highlanders. It investigates the classification, exploitation and management of both wild and domesticated creatures. The Highlands region has extensive areas of rainforest, which are home to a wide range of game animals. And bristly wild-looking pigs are to be seen everywhere in settled parts of valleys, people keeping sizeable herds.
