  • Sacred offerings and secular foods on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago, East Polynesia

    Open AccessMarshall I Weisler, Marshall Weisler et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2024

    In 1976, Yosihiko H. Sinoto conducted extensive archaeological survey and excavations on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago as part of a Japanese, multi‐disciplinary expedition led by Prof. Sachiko Hatanaka. Primarily excavating three marae and four habitation sites totalling ∼180 m 2 , more than 25000 vertebrate remains were recovered. We report the jidentification and analysis of the fauna and contrast the inventories from secular and sacred conte…

  • Refining the Society Islands cultural sequence: Colonization phase and developmental phase coastal occupation on Moʻorea Island

    J G Kahn, Yosihiko Sinoto et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Polynesian Society2017Cited by: 10References: 10

    The Society Islands are critical to chronology building in East Polynesia, as the archipelago served as a potential first landfall for voyagers moving out of the West Polynesia homeland. Yet determining the particulars of migration sequences and settlement chronology in the Society Islands, like the rest of East Polynesia, has been challenging. Here, we report on a dating and re-dating program of four coastal sites on the island of Mo'orea, Windw…

  • Settlement Chronologies and Shifting Resource Exploitation in Ka‘ū District, Hawaiian Islands

    J G Kahn, Steven P Lundblad et al.ARTICLEAsian perspectives2016

    Museum collections contribute valuable information for cultural heritage, biological conservation, and the application of innovative and new methodological approaches. Collections deriving from archaeological projects in Hawai‘i serve as a case in point. Here, we report on re-analysis of two Ka‘ū District collections from Hawai‘i Island (HA-B22-64 and -248) to demonstrate what can be learned when applying new research questions to old collections…

  • Japanese Jomon sherds in artifact collections from Mele Plain on Efate in Vanuatu

    Open AccessWilliam R Dickinson, Yosihiko H Sinoto et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…1999Cited by: 5References: 11

    Fourteen cord‐marked sherds collected from the surface of yam gardens on Mele Plain near Port Vila on the island of Efate in Vanuatu are unlike any known prehistoric wares from Pacific islands. Based on typological analysis, comparative petrographic study of sand tempers supplemented by microprobe analysis of characteristic microperlite sand grains, and thermolumescence dating of key examples, we believe these sherds were made during the Early Jo…

  • Temper Sands in Exotic Marquesan Pottery and the Significance of Their Fijian Origin

    William R Dickinson, Barry V Rolett et al.ARTICLEJournal de la Société des…1998Cited by: 3

    Petrographic restudy of quartzose temper sands in potsherds recovered by Suggs and Sinoto from the Ha'atuatua archaeological site on Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands confirms a previous tentative inference that they represent wares manufactured on the Rewa Delta of Viti Levu in Fiji. Temper sands in the exotic Ha'atuatua sherds and in prehistoric sherds excavated from the Nasilai site on the Rewa Delta are closely comparable, both qualitatively…

  • An analysis of Polynesian migrations based on the archaeological assessments

    Yosihiko H SinotoARTICLEJournal de la Société des…1983

    Depuis le symposium tenu à Fiji en 1969 et qui avait eu pour objet l'histoire des cultures océaniennes, les recherches archéologiques se sont poursuivies en Polynésie mais peut-être, il est vrai, moins intensément que pendant la période qui précéda ce symposium. Néanmoins, ces nouvelles recherches ont apporté des résultats non négligeables pour une meilleure connaissance des processus de peuplement de la Polynésie en général, et de la Polynésie o…

  • Report on the preliminary excavation of an early habitation site on Huahine, Society Islands

    Yosihiko H Sinoto, Patricia Campos Coy et al.ARTICLEJournal de la Société des…1975Cited by: 12

    Le plus ancien site d'habitation connu pour les îles de la Société fut découvert en 1972 à Vaitootia, Huahine, au cours du dragage d'un étang de l'Hôtel Bali Hai Huahine. En 1973, des sondages furent entrepris près de l'étang afin de localiser les niveaux culturels encore intacts, de déterminer leur contenu et, par une datation, de situer ce site dans la préhistoire des îles de la Société. Une partie du site en bon état de conservation fut mis au…
