Acknowledgments

Campbell Macknight and Peter Bellwood have unstintingly provided incisive supervision. P.E. de Josselin de Jong, Tony Reid, Jos Platenkamp and Ian Caldwell have assisted me with their comments, contacts, and copies of relevant papers. In particular I thank Jim Fox and Clifford Sather who perceived the potential of my initial analysis and guided it towards a product which (I hope) qualifies as sound anthropology.
