“…These drums originated in production centers in Viet Nam about 2000 years ago, have been found throughout eastern Indonesia as far east as the Bird's Head of Papua (Spriggs and Miller 1988). Akerman and Dwyer (2000) comment that the war boats on the drums show warriors wearing "elaborate plumed headgear" and carrying weapons. "The boats themselves are depicted as long slim craft with elaborate bow and stern decorations.…”

Nine New Painted Rock Art Sites from East Timor in the Context of the Western Pacific Region

Few rock art sites are known for the islands of Wallacea. This paper reports nine new painted rock art sites located in East Timor during archaeological reconnaissance in 2000 to 2001; bringing the total number of painted rock art sites in East Timor to 15. Both the new and previously known rock art sites in East Timor are reviewed in the context of painted rock art elsewhere in the western Pacific region. They are also evaluated in terms of the criteria used by Ballard (1992) to define the "Austronesian painting tradition" and the relationship between the art, topography, and language groups for the new sites is described. Motif content, motif placement within the sites, and design elements are compared in a preliminary fashion with that of other painting sites known from East Timor and the western Pacific. The East Timor sites are conformable with Austronesian-painted rock art sites elsewhere although they display some features that appear to be locally or regionally distinctive. It is likely that with systematic survey, and thorough inspection of cave and shelter walls, many more sites will be found in East Timor and elsewhere in Island Southeast Asia. The faded and deteriorated condition of many of the East Timor paintings indicates that recording should be undertaken with some urgency.

“…While transport mobility research traditionally always has an eye for the physical limitations of transportation systems, and thus almost by nature easily took into account the consequences of environmental impacts of our current mobility systems and mobility behaviour (Akerman et al . ) it is only recently that practice mobility studies envision a sustainable mobility.…”

“…For this reason, the EU, its member states and local authorities have been working for some time on the design of solutions for future sustainable mobility (Akerman et al, 2000;Banister, 2008;EU Commision, 2013).

<p>The European Union, its member states and local authorities have been working for long time on the design of solutions for future sustainable mobility. The promotion of a sustainable and affordable urban transport contemplates the bicycle as a mean of transport. The reasons for analysing the cycling mobility in urban areas, has its origin in the confrontation with motorized vehicles, as a sustainable response to the environment. In this context of sustainable mobility, the research team has studied the use of bicycles in Mediterranean cities, specifically in coastal tourist areas. The present work shows the development of a mobility index oriented to the bicycle, transport that competes with the private vehicle. By means of a survey methodology, the research group proceeded to collect field data and the subsequent analysis of them, for the development of a mobility index adapted to bicycle mobility, and with possibilities to adapt to urban environments.</p>
