Intrusion, integration and innovation on small and not‐so‐small islands with particular reference to Samoa
Investigations on small Polynesian outliers have illustrated how difficult it can be to identify archaeological evidence of intrusion, or to interpret the effect of any intrusion on the resident populations. In Samoa, the still meagre amount of artefactual and faunal remains from archaeological excavations adds to these problems. A review of the known Samoan archaeological sequence finds little or no evidence of intrusion, apart from a probable p…
Cultural Replacement on Small Islands
Prehistoric Fishing at Fa'ahia, Huahine, Society Islands, French Polynesia
Une collection d'os de poissons provenant des fouilles du locus C50 à Fa'ahia (Huahine) est analysée et les résultats sont comparés à ceux d'une étude précédente de la faune provenant d'une aire adjacente du même site. Les prises du locus C50 sont dominées par le poisson- perroquet alors que, dans l'étude précédente, le thon était dominant. Un tel contraste entre des parties adjacentes du même site est des plus inhabituels dans le Pacifique. Dive…
Western Polynesia and Fiji
The adjacent archipelagos of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, ‘Uvea and Futuna in the Central Pacific provide an opportunity to study inter‐island contact and cultural differentiation during more than 3,000 years of prehistory. The major islands were first settled during the second millennium B.C. by closely related people. Similar ceramic sequences, culminating in the abandonment of pottery manufacture everywhere except Fiji by about the beginning of the Chr…
