En savoir plus

Some papers present major syntheses on archaeological issues central to the understanding of the region, while others are field reports or initial presentations of ongoing research programs. Some have been written by long established international scholars and others by the new emerging generation of Pacific archaeologists. The diversity of the subjects discussed, from Pleistocene dynamics in Near Oceania to the spread of the Lapita Cultural Complex, from ceramic chronologies to the evolution of rock art, from the development of late prehistoric Polynesian chiefdoms to the present-day re-appropriation of the past by the people of Oceania, clearly emphasize the multitude of topics that comprise archaeological research in the Pacific today.
