A New Idea re Weapons of Oceania and a Poll

Jim McDougall · 7th December 2025, 08:56 PM

Brilliant idea, and a most esoteric area of ethnographic arms with VERY little literature out there. The only real reference material I have found has been mostly in "Tribal Arts" periodical which is a rich resource that delves into these areas. There are a couple of old references such as Montague on weapons of tribal peoples .

These are interesting areas, and I think a dedicated informative venue would be most helpful and encourage interest in these areas. You are a brave soul to take this on, and I'm sure your work would be greatly appreciated and recognized.

Outstanding idea!!!
