  • "Coral" Islands: Data from the Bahamas and Oceania
    ADAPTATION AND EXCHANGES ON "CORAL" ISLANDS: DATA FROM THE BAHAMAS AND OCEANIA Frank R. Thomas This paper constitutes an attempt at delineating similarities and differences among prehistoric cultural traditions in insular tropical environments. While it has often been suggested that the amount and quality of ethnohistoric and linguistic coverage in the Caribbean area are a poor reflection of the types of information available for Oceania, the interest in subsurface investigations in the latter region (on atolls) is barely two decades old. Until the mid-1970s much of Micronesia was terra- incognita, and there are still many islands, particularly in the atoll/ raised coral categories awaiting the spade of the archaeologist. The fact that "true" atolls are absent in the West Indies should not divert us from the potential contributions that might arise in comparing human adaptation to constraints imposed by calcareous environments. On several occasions, Watters (1981, 1982, 1983) drew attention to the advances made by Pacific archaeologists in the area of subsistence; we might also add social organization and social complexity. Because of various limitations in the use of ethnographic data by their Caribbean counterparts and the benign neglect of a "seaward perspective", it was concluded that much could be learned from the work being accomplished in Oceania. THE INSULAR SETTING In order to select geological units that are comparable, one also needs to consider the quality of both ethnographic and archaeological sequences, as well as the areal distribution of coral islands. In effect, this study focuses on three "Coral Clusters" or "Coral Complexes'' for which there is a fairly adequate record of prehistoric and protohistoric cultural develop­ ments.

    The Stopover Handbook in French Polynesia booklet brings together practical information and useful addresses for your stopovers in the islands that you will visit. Although each individual island differs from the next, they are all linked together by the ma’ohi culture, which is a source of inspiration, of perception and different life experiences. Experiencing this culture gives visitors a real opportunity to step into a completely different world. Welcome to these islands which are as precious and fragile as they are sparsely distributed within the vastness of the South Pacific.

  • The Phytogeographical Affinities of the Pitcairn Islands – a Model for South-Eastern Polynesia?
    Journal of Biogeography, 30, 1311–1328 The phytogeographical affinities of the Pitcairn Islands – a model for south-eastern Polynesia? Naomi Kingston1*, Steve Waldren2 and Una Bradley11Department of Botany, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland and 2Trinity College Botanic Gardens, Palmerston Park, Dartry, Dublin 6, Ireland Abstract Aim To identify how the Pitcairn group relates biogeographically to the south-eastern Polynesian region and if, as a subset of the regions flora, it can then be used as a model for biogeographical analyses. Location The Pitcairn group (25°4¢ S, 130°06¢ W) comprises four islands: Pitcairn, a relatively young, high volcanic Island; Henderson, an uplifted atoll, the uplift caused by the eruption of Pitcairn; and two atolls, Ducie and Oeno. The remote location, young age and range of island types found in the Pitcairn Island group makes the group ideal for the study of island biogeography and evolution. Methods A detailed literature survey was carried out and several data sets were com- piled. Dispersal method, propagule number and range data were collected for each of the 114 species that occurs in the Pitcairn group, and environmental data was also gathered for islands in Polynesia. Analyses were carried out using non-metric multidimensional scaling and clustering techniques. Results The flora of the Pitcairn Islands is derived from the flora of other island groups in the south-eastern Polynesian region, notably those of the Austral, Society and Cook Islands. Species with a Pacific-wide distribution dominate the overall Pitcairn group flora. However, each of the islands show different patterns; Pitcairn is dominated by species with Pacific, Polynesian and endemic distributions, with anemochory as the dominant dispersal method (39.5%); Henderson is also dominated by species with Pacific, Polynesian and endemic distributions, but zoochory is the dominant dispersal method (59.4); Oeno and Ducie are dominated by Pantropic species with hydrochory as the most common dispersal method (52.9% and 100%, respectively).
