Religious change is at its core a material as much as a spiritual process. Beliefs related to intangible spirits, ghosts, or gods were enacted through material relationships between people, places, and objects. The archaeology of mission sites from Tanna and Erromango islands, southern Vanuatu (formerly the New Hebrides), offer an informative case study for understanding the material dimensions of religious change. One of the primary ways that cultural difference was thrown into relief in the Presbyterian New Hebrides missions was in the realm of objects. Christian Protestant missionaries believed that religious conversion had to be accompanied by changes in the material conditions of everyday life. Results of field archaeology and museum research on Tanna and Erromango, southern Vanuatu, show that the process of material transformation was not unidirectional. Just as Melanesian people changed religious beliefs and integrated some imported objects into everyday life, missionaries integrated local elements into their daily lives. Attempts to produce ‘civilised Christian natives’, or to change some elements of native life relating purely to ‘religion’ but not others, resulted instead in a proliferation of ‘hybrid’ forms. This is visible in the continuity of a variety of traditional practices subsumed under the umbrella term ‘kastom’ through to the present alongside Christianity. Melanesians didn’t become Christian, Christianity became Melanesian. The material basis of religious change was integral to this process.

From Barra to Berneray presents the amazing results of thirteen years of archaeological research on twelve islands at the very end of the Hebridean chain, all but two of them now uninhabited. Keith Branigan and Patrick Foster, with colleagues and students from the Department of Archaeology and Prehistory at the University of Sheffield, have recorded almost 2000 sites and monuments on these islands. Their prehistory has been illuminated for the first time by carefully selected excavations on sites of all periods and types. Highlights include the aisled roundhouse at Alt Chrisal, the kerbed cairns of Vatersay, and the earth-house and massive broch on Pabbay. This volume details all the sites discovered, reports on the discoveries at all the excavated prehistoric sites, and in three special chapters provides an overview of the earlier and later prehistory of these beautiful but windswept islands. Archaeologists will find this an invaluable source on a hitherto ignored part of the British Isles, while all those who know and love the islands will be fascinated by the story of their first five thousand years of human occupation.
