Direct dating of colonial-era coral building materials using the U-Th method in the Mangareva Islands, French Polynesia
In colonial settings, missionary construction projects often dramatically transformed local architectural styles and settlement patterns. The relatively young age of these activities means that colonial chronologies are often based on documentary evidence or artefact typologies rather than chronometric determinations. Here, the author explores the use of uranium-thorium dating for coral blocks from a series of missionary-style buildings with unkn…

A 600–700‐year‐old basalt adze production site from Mount Bates, Norfolk Island
While pre‐European settlement of Norfolk Island has been recognised for many decades, particularly the larger settlement site at Emily Bay, until this point there has been limited understanding, and very little systematic recording of evidence for inland settlement. This report presents the location, chronology, stratigraphy and artefact assemblage of a previously undocumented lithic production site from Mount Bates in the north‐western uplands o…
Grassroots badly burnt
Here we salute the exceptional contributions of five ni-Vanuatu, who passed away over the last year, to the archaeological understanding of Vanuatu and the wider Pacific over a 50-year period. They were all at one time members of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre’s unique network of Filwokas (fieldworkers) who are involved in protecting, promoting and preserving the country’s cultural heritage. Their careers spanned the pre and post-Independence (1980)…
Patterns of Mortuary Practice over Millennia in Southern Vanuatu, South Melanesia
Burial practices provide a window into cultural practices, beliefs, and cross-cultural contacts through time. Southern Vanuatu's history begins with an initial Lapita colonization 3000 b.p., followed by Polynesian contacts after roughly 1000 years ago, and European encounters starting almost 250 years ago. Using a combination of re-analyzed legacy data from archaeological excavations in the 1960s and recent excavations, this article provides a sy…
Intégration polynésienne au Vanuatu (Mélanésie)
Certaines sociétés humaines modernes de l’archipel du Vanuatu (Mélanésie) présentent des traits culturels polynésiens et parlent des langues polynésiennes. Ces caractéristiques diffèrent de celles des autres sociétés présentes dans l’archipel qui sont apparentés aux influences mélanésiennes régionales. On suppose que des migrations polynésiennes auraient particulièrement contribué à la formation de ces sociétés « polynésiennes » du Vanuatu lors d…

The bright archaeological light that was Angela Middleton
Gendering the archaeology of the mission frontier in the New Hebrides
The New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) was the location of a series of sometimes dramatic encounters with Presbyterian missionaries from the 1840s through the early 20th century. Survey and excavations of mission landscapes revealed the ways that missionaries sought to carve out a ‘civilised’ space in the ‘savage’ Melanesian islands where they settled. Mission encounters were also heavily gendered, both in the domestic relationships between missionary hu…
Detecting exchange networks in New Britain, Papua New Guinea
Compared to elsewhere in Oceania, the history and character of stone axe‐adze production and exchange in the Bismarck Archipelago is very poorly known. To explore the feasibility of using geochemical analysis to trace past social interaction, we conducted a non‐destructive portable XRF study of 97 ground stone artefacts from archaeological contexts in New Britain and the ethnographic collection at the Australian Museum. The study capitalised on t…
Archaeologies of Island Melanesia
The island world of Melanesia-ranging from New Guinea and the Bismarcks through the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia-is characterised more than anything by its boundless diversity in geography, language and culture. The deep historical roots of this diversity are only beginning to be uncovered by archaeological investigations, but as the contributions to this volume
Visualising Hawaiian Sacred Sites
In the early 1900s, Australian-born archaeologist John F.G. Stokes was the first to extensively use modern surveying techniques and photography to document Hawaiian archaeological sites. Stokes carried out fieldwork for a Bishop Museum-based research program driven by interests in Polynesian origins and Hawaiian religious change, focusing specifically on the monumental temple sites called heiau in Hawaiian. Using a sample of the visual record of …
The Historical Archaeology of States and Non-States
Pat Kirch’s work throughout Oceania has been driven by the idea that islands lend themselves especially well to comparative analysis. Recently, Kirch has argued that the most elaborate forms of Oceanic socio-political hierarchy, ideological control, and agricultural intensification evolved in the Hawaiian archipelago, resulting in the emergence of archaic states. In Vanuatu, in contrast, elite power was much less institutionalized, and nothing st…
