Abstract
Archaeological investigations in the Torres Strait region have been limited and of a preliminary nature with reconstructions of Torres Strait prehistory still relying for their formulation on ethnohistorical sources, environmental data and archaeological evidence from areas north and south of the Strait. This apparent lack of interest in the archaeology of the area must be attributed to logistical difficulties, not to an underestimation of the role of the Torres Strait in Australian prehistory. In November 1981 I spent a brief period on Moa and Naghi Islands in the western group of islands and the resulting limited survey and excavation results are discussed in this paper.
