Philip Hughes worked full time as the project’s geoarchaeologist from 1974 to 1977 while at ANU. From 1985–1991, while at University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG), working with colleagues and students, he undertook research into soil erosion and catchment and swamp hydrology at Kuk aimed at further understanding the site’s geoarchaeology and human impact on soil erosion in the catchment from the late Pleistocene to the present.
Jack Golson took on the organisation and direction of the Kuk project as a multidisciplinary undertaking along lines to which he had been introduced as a student, incorporating palaeobotany and geomorphology with archaeology and ethnography.
Tim Denham undertook multidisciplinary investigations of early plant exploitation and cultivation at Kuk Swamp for his PhD research at ANU from 1997 to 2004. In particular, he introduced to the project recent advances in archaeobotany, allowing the identification of basic food crops of the New Guinea/Pacific region like yams, taro and bananas. He was also an advocate of more integrated site sampling procedures.
Pamela Swadling worked as an archaeologist in PNG initially at UPNG, then at the Institute of PNG Studies. From 1978 to 1999, she was Curator of Prehistory at the National Museum. With Director Soroi Eoe and Jack Golson, she put Kuk on its long journey to becoming a World Heritage Site. She also initiated a series of draft booklets about the findings at Kuk, out of which there began to emerge in the early 2000s the Kuk book that we have today.
John Muke is the first Papua New Guinean to be awarded a PhD in archaeology. He returned home with it from University of Cambridge in early 1993 to a lectureship in the Department of Anthropology at UPNG. Born and raised in the Minj area of the middle Wahgi Valley, less than 50 km east of Mount Hagen, he played an important role in negotiating on behalf of the project at crucial phases in its history—when the Kuk Station was closed down at the end of 1990, and when some years later the locals repossessed the station land. He also worked closely with Tim Denham on the nomination of Kuk as a World Heritage Site.
