  • The Marquesas
    © Lonely Planet Publications 199 The Marquesas Grand, brooding, powerful and charismatic. That pretty much sums up the Marquesas. Here, nature’s fingers have dug deep grooves and fluted sharp edges, sculpting intricate jewels that jut up dramatically from the cobalt blue ocean. Waterfalls taller than skyscrapers trickle down vertical canyons; the ocean thrashes towering sea cliffs; sharp basalt pinnacles project from emerald forests; amphitheatre-like valleys cloaked in greenery are reminiscent of the Raiders of the Lost Ark; and scalloped bays are blanketed with desert arcs of white or black sand. This art gallery is all outdoors. Some of the most inspirational hikes and rides in French Polynesia are found here, allowing walkers and horseback riders the opportunity to explore Nuku Hiva’s convoluted hinterland. Those who want to get wet can snorkel with melon- headed whales or dive along the craggy shores of Hiva Oa and Tahuata. Bird-watchers can be kept occupied for days, too. Don’t expect sweeping bone-white beaches, tranquil turquoise lagoons, swanky resorts and THE MARQUESAS Cancun-style nightlife – the Marquesas are not a beach holiday destination. With only a smat- tering of pensions (guesthouses) and just two hotels, they’re rather an ecotourism dream. In everything from cuisine and dances to language and crafts, the Marquesas do feel different from the rest of French Polynesia, and that’s part of their appeal. Despite the trap- pings of Western influence (read: mobile phones), their cultural uniqueness is overwhelming. They also make for a mind-boggling open-air museum, with plenty of sites dating from pre-European times, all shrouded with a palpable historical aura.

Les informations présentées proviennent à la fois de l’analyse de la bibliographie botanique existante mais également de prospections de terrain initiées par la Direction de l’Environnement en 2007 et 2008. L’atoll de Motu One, situé à l’Est de Hatutaa et éga- lement classé réserve naturelle, ne comprend, quant à lui, plus aucune végétation. Présentation des fiches Ce petit guide présente un peu plus d’une centaine d’espèces se développant sur les îles de Eiao, Hatutaa et Mohotani. Il s’agit de la totalité des plantes indigènes connues à ce jour sur ces îles ainsi que les autres plantes locales considérées comme ayant été introduites lors des migrations polyné- siennes. Par ailleurs, quelques introductions plus récentes particulièrement répandues y ont été jointes. Les espèces, ou plutôt taxons, sont présentés par ordre alphabétique de leurs noms scientifiques au sein de cinq groupes constitués par les types biolo- giques : arbres, arbustes et arbrisseaux, fougères, herbacées, lianes. Pour chaque taxon, outre son nom scientifique accepté, est indiqué sa famille botanique d’appar- tenance. Eiao, Hatutaa, Mohotani - Guide floristique 1 Le statut biogéographique est également précisé : espèces indigènes non introduites par l’homme, introductions polynésiennes implan- tées lors des migrations polynésiennes près d’un millier d’années auparavant et introductions modernes importées depuis la redécou- verte européenne, essentiellement depuis la fin du xviiie siècle.

Keywords: Physical anthropology, skeletal biology, bioarchaeology, paleopathology, craniology, biological distance, multivariate statistics, dental studies, genetic studies, Polynesian origins, Lapita skeletons Contents 1. Introduction 2. Pacific Islands: Geology, Prehistory and Linguistics 3. First Impressions/Early Paradigms (Table 1) 4. Pacific Relationships and Polynesian Origins (Table 2) 5. Health, Disease, and Lifestyle of Early Pacific Islanders (Table 3) 6. Regional Studies in Skeletal Biology 7. Conclusions and Future Prospects Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A brief summary of studies in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific and Polynesia is presented. Commencing with early studies in physical anthropology in the mid-nineteenth century, which included studies of living as well as prehistoric inhabitants of the Pacific, this survey focuses mainly on two topics: What studies of skeletons from the region have revealed about 1) the initial peopling of the Pacific and the origins of the Polynesians and 2) the health and lifestyle of past Pacific Islanders and Polynesians. Despite the limited number of studies in the physical anthropology of the Pacific and issues surrounding repatriation, a significant amount of information about the past inhabitants of this region continues to emerge from work involving human skeletons. 1. Introduction This chapter summarizes previous work in physical anthropology and skeletal biology of the Pacific. Although evidence from other areas in physical anthropology (e.g., genetic and dental studies) is included, the major focus will be what studies of human skeletons and teeth reveal about the origins, health, and lifestyle of the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific, particularly Polynesians.

Received April 9,1986; revised version accepted November 26,1986 Basalts from the Marquesas Archipelago display significant variations according to magmatic type in 143Nd/144Nd (0.512710-0.512925) and a7Sr/86Sr (0.70288-0.70561) suggesting heterogeneities at various scales in the mantle source, with respectively the highest and lowest values in tholeiites compared to alkali basalts. This relationship is the reverse from that observed in the Hawaiian islands. Systematic indications of magma mixing are recognized from the relationships between trace element and isotopic ratios. Tholeiites from Ua Pou Island which have unradiogenic Sr (about 0.7028) plot close to basalts from Tubuai and St. Helena, i.e. distinctly below the main mantle trend in the Nd vs. Sr isotopic diagram. It is suggested that the source of these tholeiites is ancient subducted lithosphere which has suffered previous extraction of liquid with island arc tholeiite composition.

However, since the arrival of colonists, the diversity ofspecies has been decreas­ ing. Observations by biologists in the 1970s and 1980s reported the Ultramarine Lory to be scarce and localized on Nuku Hiva, widespread and fairly com­ mon on Ua Pou, and fairly common on Ua Huka.
