| Title: | Palaeoenvironmental evidence for human colonization of remote Oceanic islands |
| Date: | 1994 |
| Source: | Antiquity |
| Abstract: | Not every first footstep on a virgin shore leaves enduring trace, nor every first human settlement an enduring deposit that chances to survive, and then chances to be observed archaeologically. Good environmental evidence from Mangaia Island, central East Polynesia, gives it is contended a fairer picture of the human invasion of remote Oceania than the short and sceptical chronology recently published in ANTIQUITY. |
