Summary:

This collection of 4 documents is about the Austronesian-speaking Tinputz peoples who inhabit the northernmost portion of the island of Bougainville, within the North Bougainville District of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. The Tinputz (or Tinputz-Saposa) language family includes Tinputz proper of northeastern Bougainville, Teop to the southeast, Hahon to the west and Saposa on western islands. The broader populace is designated by, Tinputz, the language they speak. Blackwood (1935, Both sides of Buka Passage) wrote the major ethnography on the Tinputz proper, based on fieldwork carried out in 1930, centered on the village of Kurtatchi on the north coast of Bougainville. Also included in the file are two shorter articles by the same author on folk stories (Blackwood 1932) and folk medicine (Blackwood 1935, "Treatment of the sick"), from information collected in and around Kurtatchi that year, with some additional information collected mainly among the Petats (Buka) during travels in 1929 and 1930.
