  • Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific)
    quaternary Review Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific) Valentí Rull Laboratory of Paleoecology, Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera (ICTJA-CSIC), C. Solé i Sabarís s/n, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 19 March 2019; Accepted: 27 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The discovery and settlement of the tiny and remote Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has been a classical controversy for decades. Present-day aboriginal people and their culture are undoubtedly of Polynesian origin, but it has been debated whether Native Americans discovered the island before the Polynesian settlement. Until recently, the paradigm was that Easter Island was discovered and settled just once by Polynesians in their millennial-scale eastward migration across the Pacific. However, the evidence for cultivation and consumption of an American plant—the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)—on the island before the European contact (1722 CE), even prior to the Europe-America contact (1492 CE), revived controversy. This paper reviews the classical archaeological, ethnological and paleoecological literature on the subject and summarizes the information into four main hypotheses to explain the sweet potato enigma: the long-distance dispersal hypothesis, the back-and-forth hypothesis, the Heyerdahl hypothesis, and the newcomers hypothesis. These hypotheses are evaluated in light of the more recent evidence (last decade), including molecular DNA phylogeny and phylogeography of humans and associated plants and animals, physical anthropology (craniometry and dietary analysis), and new paleoecological findings. It is concluded that, with the available evidence, none of the former hypotheses may be rejected and, therefore, all possibilities remain open.

  • A Brief Ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840
    2 ‘Dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure’ A brief ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840 Atholl Anderson Department of Archaeology and Natural History, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, [email protected] Introduction In 1826, the first European missionary to Rapa, the Rev. John Davies, quoted Judges 18:7 in seeing the Rapans as ‘dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure, and having no business with any man’ (in Stokes n.d.:28; an idiomatic rendering of the passage). It was to some extent, possibly to a great extent, quite illusory. Rapa was certainly isolated by comparison with most of East Polynesia, and it was small, mountainous and relatively cold, but even the first European visitors found that Rapans exhibited evidence of contact with the outside world, and within Rapan traditions, historical observations and ethnographic data which together form the stuff of ethnohistory, the theme of contact and change is illustrated continually. Rapan society was East Polynesian in ancestry and culture. Rapans spoke an East Polynesian language, but its closest affinities were puzzling for a long time. The earliest historical contacts with Rapans showed that they found both Hawaiian and Tahitian largely unintelligible and later characterisation of Rapan by European scholars was confused because of the early introduction of Tahitian by missionaries and, after 1863, of other Polynesian languages by Tongans, Tokelauans and Cook Islanders, whose descendants came eventually to represent nearly half of the population (Stokes 1955). Samuel Stutchbury had observed, presciently, in 1826 (in Richards 2004:5) that the Rapan language was ‘something resembling the Marquesan’, but Horatio Hale (1968:141), about 1840, ‘obtained at Tahiti, from a native of Rapa, a brief vocabulary of the language spoken there, which turns out to be, with a few verbal exceptions, pure Rarotongan, and this in its minute peculiarities’, while the missionaries William Ellis (1838) and M.

  • Early Settlement Ofrapa Nui (Easter Island)
    Early Settlement ofRapa Nui (Easter Island) HELENE MARTINSSON-WALLIN AND SUSAN J. CROCKFORD RAPA NUl, THE SMALL REMOTE ISLAND that constitutes the easternmost corner of the Polynesian triangle, was found and populated long before the Europeans "discovered" this part ofthe world in 1722. The long-standing questions concern­ ing this remarkable island are: who were the first to populate the island, at what time was it populated, and did the Rapa Nui population and development on the island result from a single voyage? Over the years there has been much discussion, speculation, and new scientific results concerning these questions. This has resulted in several conferences and numerous scientific and popular papers and monographs. The aim ofthis paper is to present the contemporary views on these issues, drawn from the results of the last 45 years of archaeological research on the island (Fig. 1), and to describe recent fieldwork that Martinsson-Wallin completed on Rapa Nui. Results from the Norwegian Archaeological Expedition to Rapa Nui in 1955­ 1956 suggest that the island was populated as early as c. A.D. 400 (Heyerdahl and Ferdon 1961: 395). This conclusion was drawn from a single radiocarbon date. This dated carbon sample (K-502) was found in association with the so-called Poike ditch on the east side of the island. The sample derived from a carbon con­ centration on the natural surface, which had been covered by soil when the ditch was dug. The investigator writes the following: There is no evidence to indicate that the fire from which the carbon was derived actually burned at the spot where the charcoal occurred, but it is clear that it was on the surface of the ground at the time the first loads of earth were carried out of the ditch and deposited over it.

Each of the disjunctions appears to have resulted from north-to-south dispersal since the mid-Miocene; three are associated with such marked morphological and ecological change that some of the southern taxa (including Apostates) have been treated in distinct genera of uncertain relationship. Phyllotaxy within the Bahia alliance, however, evidently has been even more conservative evolutionarily than reflected by previous taxonomies, with alternate-leaved and opposite-leaved clades in Bahia sensu Ellison each encompassing representatives of other genera that share the same leaf arrangements. A revised taxonomic treatment of the Bahia alliance is proposed to recognize morphologically distinctive, monophyletic genera, including the critically endangered Apostates.

  • Excavations in Peva Valley) Rurutu) Austral Islands (East Polynesia)
    Excavations in Peva Valley) Rurutu) Austral Islands (East Polynesia) ROBERT BOLLT INTRODUCTION THE AUSTRAL ISLANDS, which have close ties to the Societies and southern Cooks, are an area of key importance to East Polynesian prehistory. However, relatively little archaeological research has been done there, and so the Australs remain poorly understood in terms of the colonization ofEast Polynesia. In addi­ tion, there are few firsthand accounts of traditional life. The position and charac­ ter of the Australs in East Polynesia is unique. They lie on the periphery of central East Polynesia and define its southern boundary. They are more temperate than the Societies to the north and the southern Cooks to the northwest. Despite be­ ing one of the most centrally located groups in East Polynesia, they are one of the most isolated. They have strong cultural and linguistic bonds with both the Soci­ eties and the southern Cooks and yet are far enough from each to possess a dis­ tinct character. The Australs are thus well situated to test current models of early East Polynesian prehistory. Most early, or Archaic, East Polynesian sites date to within A.D. 1000-1450 (e.g., Rolett 1996, 1998; Walter 1996). During this period the Polynesians were not only colonizing islands but voyaging back and forth between them, a phe­ nomenon that tapers off after A.D. 1450 and almost disappears by European con­ tact. The sharing of ideas contributed to the linguistic and cultural similarity within East Polynesia, evident in the common characteristics of the material cul­ ture of this era, most notably the form of domestic and manufacturing tools, adzes, one-piece pearlshell fishhooks, and ornaments, the similarities that can be attributed to interaction (Rolett 1996; Walter 1996).

  • 2.1 Material Culture of the Austral Islands
    2.1 Introduction to Pacific Review of Pacific Collections Collections: Material Culture in Scottish Museums of the Austral Islands Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific The following summary provides an overview of material you are likely to come across in Scottish collections. These are written according to island region. Austral Islands The Austral Islands are located in the eastern Pacific Ocean. There are five main inhabited islands: Rimatara, Rurutu, Tubua’i (also known as Tupuai), Ra’ivavae and Rapa Iti. The islands were inhabited around 1,200 years ago via the Society Islands and there was a longstanding historical relationship between these two island groups. Captain Cook passed Rurutu on his first voyage in 1769 and Tubua’i in 1777, but on neither occasion did the ship land. Ra’ivavae was first visited in 1775 by Spaniards Ganyangos and Andia y Varea. The mutineers from HMS Bounty attempted to settle on Tubua’i in 1789 where they remained for two months before moving on. From around 1800, the Austral Islands became a destination for traders and whalers as well as missionaries sent by Pomare II of Tahiti who had already converted to Christianity. The islands were annexed by France in the 1880s and today are administratively part of French Polynesia. The Austral Islands have a rich tradition of wood carving. Ruturu, Tubua’i and Ra’ivavae provided a source of hardwood and became home to master carvers who by the 1700s were also making items for the Society Islands.
