dc.description.abstractThere can be little doubt on linguistic evidence that East Polynesia was first settled from West Polynesia. The author argues, however, that the related archaeological record has been made to fit with this dominant interpretative paradigm. Her objective assessment of the material evidence contradicts the popularly held view.en_AU

local.description.notesTerra Australis reports the results of archaeological research, in the main of staff and students of the Dept. of Prehistory, Research School of Pacific Studies, The Australian National University. Its region is the lands south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia, that were terra australis incognita to generations of European geographers before Cook and are largely so to prehistorians today. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded remembered past and at times into the observable present.en_AU
