Abstract: |
Archaeologists and linguists are often uncertain about the relative value of the other discipline to their own work and frequently dismiss, or misinterpret, results which do not "fit." The author, a prehistorian and linguist, stresses the mutual and positive value of debate between practitioners of the two disciplines. In the case of Austronesian origins the author feels that the Blust-Bellwood model takes better account of more of the archaeological and linguistic data than the alternative scenarios proposed by Meacham and Solheim.
