title: The identification of the sample dated as Wk-26796: what that tells us about Cabeço da Amoreira, Muge, Portugal

authors: Jackes, Mary

abstract: The transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic in Portugal is complex, involving a cultural mosaic and probable overlap of the two ways of life for at least half a millennium. Much can hinge on a single radiocarbon date and the dating of specifc sites. A major question relates to Late Mesolithic sites along the Muge and Sado rivers in central Portugal, and the suggestion that both act as Mesolithic enclaves between ca. 7500 and 6900 cal BP, parallel to the earliest Neolithic sites on the Atlantic coast of Portugal. We look at the youngest dates on human remains from Cabeço da Amoreira in discussing the nature and afliation of the uppermost levels of the site, with some emphasis on one sample that has been dated but not identifed. We identify the material dated and diferentiate it from adjacent human remains, providing basic information on one of the two youngest dated human skeletal elements recovered in the Mesolithic context at Muge, making it central to any full understanding of the transition.

title: Me tangi ki te hunga whakamomori?

authors: Roa, Raukura

subjects: Mate whakamomori

abstract: I runga o Tūrangawaewae Marae i te 19 Akuhata, 2011 i te rā kawe mate o te koroneihana o Kīngi Tuheitia, i whakatakotohia e Professor Pou Temara te urupounamu ‘ko te hunga whakamomori me tangi me aha rānei?’ Ko taku whakapae, ko te whakaaro pea o roto o tēnei pātai, e aro ana ki te hunga whakamomori. Heoi, ko te aronga kē pea o te kaupapa, ko tēnei mea te tangihanga. He whakapono nō te ao Māori, ko te tangihanga, he whakarangatira i te tūpāpaku me ngā mahi i oti i a ia i te wā o te ora. Heoi, ko tāku e uaparetia ana, ko te kawenga matua o te tangihanga, ko te aroha o te tangata ki te tangata. Ko ngā kaupapa o te tangihanga, tuatahi he tuku i te wairua ki te wāhi ngaro. Tuarua, he huarahi e tīngia ai e te Māori ngā panonitanga o te mate. Tuatoru, he hui e whai oranga ai te hunga ora. Nō reira ko taku paremata ki te pakirēhua a Professor Pou Temara, ae me tangi ki te hunga whakamomori ka tika. Ko te aronga o tēnei pepa he wānanga i ngā tuhituhinga kua puta kē ki te ao mā te wetewete i ngā kōrero mō te tangihanga, te mate, te rerenga o te wairua, te whakahaeretanga o te tangihanga, te whakamomori, me ngā whakapono o iwi kē mō te whakamomori.
