This paper reviews the prehistory of the greater southeast Solomons region in the light of the 46 years of research which has been conducted since Green and Yen published the preliminary results of their Southeast Solomons Culture History Project in 1976. Green saw the region as key to investigating some of the major questions relating to Oceanic culture history, and as subsequent archaeological, linguistic and genetic research has shown, this has proven to be the case. The evidence is reviewed for initial Lapita and subsequent settlement, the development of a Marginal East Melanesia–Central Micronesia Interaction Zone, early proto-Polynesian settlement of the Polynesian Outliers and the probable role of the region in the settlement of East Polynesia
