Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article primarily deals with the material culture of
the Santa Cruz Islands. Short sections deal with social organization, economy and
religion. The article, while based primarily on Wilhelm Joest's field notes and
collection of Santa Cruz objects in Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum in Cologne, also draws on
all available literature. The author was a leader of the German Historical School which
explained the growth of civilization by hypothesizing the diffusion of complexes of
culture traits (Kulturkreise). In Oceania, Graebner recognized six successive layers or
culture strata. This theory forms the basis for his analysis of the Culture History of
Santa Cruz (pp. 158-184). It is, however, also apparent in the descriptive body of the
source. (For a general discussion of this school, including Graebner's Oceanic culture
layers see The History of Ethnological Theory, by Robert H. Lowie, pp.
177-185.)
