Would these be Austroneian (Malayo-Polynesian peopleS) or the earlier Austro-Melanesians?

wow, I'd forgotten about this topic. The paintings are from about 500 BC and looks like possibly related to the spice trade, so, ancient navigation. Fully a tenth of the world's 6000 languages are found in the zillion or so islands off SE Asia, which is at least suggestive of ethnic origin. Sez here, "The Oirata language (closely related to Fataluku) and the unrelated Kisar, a trade language (also locally known as Yotowawa or Meher), are spoken". Current population of the island is about 15,000.
