Central East Polynesia: an introduction

Abstract: The collection of papers in this issue was inspired by recent conference presentations where the interesting and diverse research underway in central East Polynesia was highlighted, including symposia at the 11th Pacific Science Inter-congress in Papeete (2009) and the Indo-Pacific Prehistoric Association meetings in Ha Noi (2009). Along with a longer contribution by Kirch and associates (underway before the issue was conceived), these papers highlight not only new substantive results, but also novel technolog… Show more

“…The increase in voyaging around AD 1000 that led to late colonization of Kapingamarangi, Nukuoro and other 'Polynesian Outliers' (Kirch, 1984) closer to New Guinea (discussed in the previous section) also resulted at a more significant scale in the final population expansion eastward, northward and southward into previously unoccupied Pacific islands. The colonization of the Polynesian Triangle, from Hawaiʻi in the north, to Rapa Nui in the east, and Aotearoa New Zealand in the south, began about AD 1000, with all the major island groups settled by c. AD 1250 (Allen & Kahn, 2010;Kirch, 2010;Mulrooney et al, 2011;Wilmshurst et al, 2011). Although there is still debate about the timing of colonization on particular islands, the differences often amount to no more than a hundred years or so, and overall a clear pattern of rapid colonization across a vast region has emerged (although the markedly early colonization of eastern Micronesia also involved prodigious inter-island distances).…”
