Abstract:	The question of when the Hawaiian Archipelago was first colonised by Polynesians is a perennial one. There are now two distinct proposals for the timing of this event, which for simplicity's sake might be labelled the long and short chronologies. We describe the two models, the methods by which they estimate colonisation for Hawai's, and the problems which pertain to each. Finally, we provide an alternative method for estimating prehistoric Polynesian occupation of Hawai'i and then place our findings within the context of a model which differentiates initial colonisation from population establishment.
