  • Temporal and Geographical Emergence of the Classic East Polynesian Marae Complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik
    78 The place of the land and the seat of the ancestors: Temporal and geographical emergence of the classic East Polynesian marae complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik Introduction ‘Marae’ is a word that has many cognates in Polynesian languages and in almost all cases it designate some type of religious site or assembly place. The morpheme can be reconstructed back to Proto Polynesia PPn* malaqe with a possible meaning as “meeting place” (POLLEX). On the Polynesian Outliers and in the island groups of Samoa and Tonga, malae is used to designate an open cleared space within or at the side of the settlement where people gather to held meetings or certain social and religious ceremonies. On some islands like Alofi, the malae has a row of upright stones or backrests at one end. On other islands, like Tokelau and Kapingamarangi, the meetings and ceremonies take place inside a house, while the general area around the house is known as malae . In most East Polynesian island groups, the main exceptions being Hawai’i and New Zealand, the word ‘marae’ refers to a particular group of ritual structures with many common architectural characteristics. It is a rectangular space with a low stone platform or enclosure at one side. On Hawai’i it is the word ‘ heiau ’ that designate religious architecture, of various design rather dissimilar to the other island groups although ceremonies taking place on these sites strongly resembles ceremonies conducted on marae sites. The Maori language use the word ‘marae’ to characterise the courtyard in front of the meeting house, or it designates, in a modern usage the whole complex of buildings and activity ground which also include the meeting house.

  • Chiefs, Fashion and Zeitgeist: Exclusion As an Expension Strategy in Kinship Based Groups in the Society Islands
    Wallin: Studies in Global Archaeology no. 20 CHIEFS, FASHION AND ZEITGEIST: EXCLUSION AS AN EXPENSION STRATEGY IN KINSHIP BASED GROUPS IN THE SOCIETY ISLANDS Paul Wallin Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, Campus Gotland, Sweden. [email protected] Abstract: In this paper I argue that chiefs created the contemporary fashion of ceremonial sites (marae) and that this was a phenomenon that we may call the zeitgeist (spirit of the time) of the Society Islands that extended far beyond the local sphere. This is based on the fact that memory based societies are driven by spontaneous subjective actions, which allow such changes, since only accepted ideas are remembered. A House Society model is explored to explain how certain chiefs successfully dominated larger areas and expressed power through domestic and ritual material remains. Their status position in society made it possible for the chiefs to exclude, as well as to include, others by help of such material expressions as well as by threats of war, through their war god missionaries, the arioi society. Intermarriages between powerful chiefly houses in different islands have been additional important factors to form alliances and create access to land e.g. to legitimize power relations. Ceremonial sites, generally called marae, were the important material expression of this power game. They were the focal points of important decisions in society, and the place where humans met with the gods.
