Following the historic 1999 popular referendum, East Timor emerged as the first independent sovereign nation of the 21st Century. The years since these momentous events have seen an efflorescence of social research across the country drawn by shared interests in the aftermath of the resistance struggle, the processes of social recovery and the historic opportunity to pursue field-based ethnography following the hiatus of research during 24 years of Indonesian rule (1975-99). This volume brings together a collection of papers from a diverse field of international scholars exploring the multiple ways that East Timorese communities are making and remaking their connections to land and places of ancestral significance. The work is explicitly comparative and highlights the different ways Timorese language communities negotiate access and transactions in land, disputes and inheritance especially in areas subject to historical displacement and resettlement. Consideration is extended to the role of ritual performance and social alliance for inscribing connection and entitlement. Emerging through analysis is an appreciation of how relations to land, articulated in origin discourses, are implicated in the construction of national culture and differential contributions to the struggle for independence. The volume is informed by a range of Austronesian cultural themes and highlights the continuing vitality of customary governance and landed attachment in Timor-Leste.

Lapita comprises an archaeological horizon that is fundamental to the understanding of human colonisation and settlement of the Pacific as it is associated with the arrival of the common ancestors of the Polynesians and many Austronesian-speaking Melanesians more than 3000 years ago. While Lapita archaeology has captured the imagination and sustained the focus of archaeologists for more than 50 years, more recent discoveries have inspired renewed interpretations and assessments. Oceanic Explorations reports on a number of these latest discoveries and includes papers which reassess the Lapita phenomenon in light of this new data. They reflect on a broad range of interrelated themes including Lapita chronology, patterns of settlement, migration, interaction and exchange, ritual behaviour, sampling strategies and ceramic analyses, all of which relate to aspects highlighting both advances and continuing impediments associated with Lapita research.

Este volume analisa a contribuição das missões de paz das Nações Unidas para a manutenção e consolidação da paz em Timor-Leste, bem como o envolvimento mais específico de Portugal nestes processos. Os contributos deste trabalho visam explicitar a multidimensionalidade que os sucessivos mandatos das missões internacionais foram adquirindo, os contextos em que estes se desenharam,os atores envolvidos, bem como as implicações que essas alterações tiveramna forma como Portugal se foi posicionando e articulando. Tudo isto tem por objetivo perceber o contributo destas missões e do envolvimento externo mais alargado, para a consolidação da paz em Timor-Leste. A explicitação de elementos visíveis e das dinâmicas invisíveis associados aos processos de intervenção permitem perceber as relações por vezes desajustadas entreo que é assumido ao nível do planeamento e a sua implementação no terreno, sublinhando a relevância de dinâmicas locais e da sua inclusão na construção de uma paz sustentável.
