deer on New Guinea?

I was interested to hear on a DVD of David Attenborough's series Life a  
description of a Vogelkop Bowerbird's bower containing "deer dung". I knew  
that pigs had been introduced in prehistoric times to New Guinea (the  
island), but I didn't know about deer. When were they introduced, what  
species, and how widespread are they?
