Systems of Measurement on Woleai Atoll, Caroline Islands William H. Alkire Contents : I. Introduction II. Counting III. Measurement of Length IV. Measurement of Time V. Measurement of Distance VI. Districts VII. Summary and Conclusions I. Introduction 1. Purpose The purpose of this analysis is primarily to present a detailed description of the various methods of measurement employed by the people of W oleai in an attempt to single out their guiding principles. This will be done through examination of selected areas of material culture and specialists knowledge. In this way I hope not only to arrive at a systematic picture of the basic concepts of the measurement process, but also to add a dimension to material culture studies of Oceania which has been largely ignored in the past h Second- 1 My investigations were supported by research grant GS-506 from the National Science Foundation and administered through the Bernice Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii. I gratefully acknowledge this support. Field work on Wottagai and Falalus Islands of the Western Lagoon of Woleai was carried out from January, 1965 to January, 1966. In 1962-63 I spent fifteen months in field work on Lamotrek atoll and some of the comparative information included in this article was gathered at that time. The Lamotrek work was supported by research grant M-5125 from the National Institute of Mental Health, Public Health Service. The orthography I use for transcribing Woleai words incorporates the following symbols: Consonants: p, bw, ch, g, (k), /, l, m, mw, n, ng, r, s, t; K. J. Narr 1 ¿r Anthropos 65. 1970 1
