Epilogue -- $tIndex 330 $aBetween the 1870s and the 1930s competing European powers carved out and consolidated colonies in Melanesia, the most culturally diverse region of the world. As part of this process, great assemblages of ethnographic artefacts were made by a range of collectors whose diversity is captured in this volume. The contributors to this tightly-integrated volume take these collectors, and the collecting institutions, as the departure point for accounts that look back at the artefact-producing societies and their interaction with the collectors, but also forward to the fate of the collections in metropolitan museums, as the artefacts have been variously exhibited, neglected, re-conceived as indigenous heritage, or repatriated. In doing this, the contributors raise issues of current interest in anthropology, Pacific history, art history, museology, and material culture. 410 0$aMethodology and history in anthropology ;$vv. 6. 517 3 $aEthnographic collectors, agents and agency in Melanesia, 1870s-1930s 606 $aEthnological museums and collections$xHistory 606 $aMuseums$xAcquisitions$zMelanesia$xHistory 606 $aEthnology$xFieldwork$zMelanesia 606 $aMaterial culture$zMelanesia 606 $aCollectors and collecting$zMelanesia$xHistory 607 $aMelanesia$xAntiquities$xCollection and preservation 615 0$aEthnological museums and collections$xHistory. 615 0$aMuseums$xAcquisitions$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology$xFieldwork 615 0$aMaterial culture 615 0$aCollectors and collecting$xHistory. 676 $a069/.5/0995 702 $aO'Hanlon$b Michael 702 $aWelsch$b Robert Louis$f1950- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248305603316 996 $aHunting the gatherers$92300824 997 $aUNISA
