Vicky Barnecutt (born September 1974) is an English anthropologist who has worked with the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and British Museum, and who was previously attached to the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford.[1] Barnecutt's general research interest is the history of contact in the Pacific, with a particular focus on Papua New Guinea.
Education and career[edit]
Barnecutt gained her Master of Philosophy at the University of Oxford in 2000.[2] The focus of her Doctor of Philosophy was on pre-colonial collecting activity in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, particularly the early historical period of contact between Europeans and New Irelanders. Her thesis explores the theoretical and informative relationships between material culture and this pre-colonial history;[2] it examined the role of museum collections in understanding the past 400 years of history in the Bismarck Archipelago.[3][4]
Since 2005, Barnecutt has held the position of director at PB Investments Limited.[5] Her 2006 publication, Art of the South Pacific, includes a section on collecting in New Ireland. Barnecutt has undertaken a number of research trips to New Ireland, with both archaeological and anthropological objectives.
Barnecutt is currently a Research Fellow on the "True Echoes" project at the British Library. Her role within the project is to research the history of wax cylinders and to understand both the anthropologists and their audio recordings in greater depth. In this capacity, she is looking at the use of audio recordings within anthropology and mapping connections between the British Library cylinders and related collections of objects, photographs, and field notes in the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and the British Museum.[3]
