RSNZ / Skinner Fund
The Skinner Fund was established in 1966 in honour of Henry Devenish Skinner and established jointly with the New Zealand Archaeological Association and the Polynesian Society from public subscription and administered by The Royal Society of New Zealand. Following the death of Dr Skinner in 1978, the fund was substantially increased by donations from the Friends of the Otago Museum and the Otago Museum Trust Board as a token to his memory.
Applications, which should descibe the research to be undertaken, the methodology and likely outcomes, close on 1 March each year.
Author calls off Californain dig for Chinese ship -- Money will go further in NZ
He still thinks the "Sacramento junk," as he calls the Glenn County site, would be a worthwhile excavation. "But we're not going to back it, because we have the wrecks of some large junks along the coast of New Zealand to explore, and the money would go farther there," he said.

Pearl and pounamu, feather and fibre
LINDA HERRICK talks to the curator of a touring collection of jewellery and body adornment from the Pacific region, which arrives in Auckland this week
A delicate shell necklace picked up in Tonga by a member of Captain Cook's crew lives on as a long-distance traveller. Cook's man took the necklace home to England more than 200 years ago, but now it has come back to this side of the world, as part of the Pacific collection at Te Papa in Wellington.
Its travelling days are not over yet. The necklace is part of a touring collection of jewellery and body adornment from the Pacific region which started out at Te Papa in 2001 and arrives at Te Tuhi in Pakuranga this week.
Jewelled, put together by then-Te Papa Curator Pacific Janet Davidson, is a survey of the region's traditions of body adornment and a contemporary homage to those styles by some leading New Zealand artists, including Alan Preston, Chris Charteris, Niki Hastings-McFall and Sofia Tekela-Smith.

Soaring cost of saving history at the pole
On New Year's Day 1908, British explorer Ernest Shackleton sailed from Lyttelton for the South Pole, his expedition financed by a £20,000 bank loan.
It is a measure of inflation that almost a century later, the Antarctic Heritage Trust in Christchurch wants to raise US$2.6 million ($3.9 million) to restore the hut that Shackleton's group built as a winter base at Cape Royds, 35km north-west of New Zealand's Scott Base. "

Contingent scales of analysis at Omaha, northern New Zealand
Matthew Campbell
The modern landscape approach is often treated as a natural extension of settlement analysis in archaeology, but in fact these methods are very different from each other. One way to begin reconciling the two maybe through an examination of heirachies of analytical scale. I propose that the relationships between scales are contingent, and that to treat them this way will allow settlement and landscape analyses to complement each other in a spatial archaeology. I present an example from Omaha Sandspit, a shell midden complex in northern New Zealand, and, in order to demonstrate this contingency, analyse Omaha's role within a wider regional framework from both a settlement and landscape perspective."
