About this product

Product Information

The Pacific Ocean covers 165 million sq. km, nearly one-third of the world's total surface area, yet its thousands of islands and their diverse cultural histories are scarcely known to the other two-thirds of the world. Archaeology of Pacific Oceania offers a chronological narrative of how Pacific Oceania came to be inhabited over a long time scale, posing fundamental questions both for Pacific Oceania and global archaeology. How and why did this vast sea of islands come to be inhabited over the last several millennia, transcending significant change in ecology, demography, and society? What were the roles of overseas contacts in the development of social networks, economic trade, and population dynamics? What can any or all the thousands of islands offer as ideal model systems for comprehending globally significant issues of human-environment relations and coping with changing circumstances of natural and cultural history? What do the island archaeology records reveal about coastal settings as part of the larger human experience? How does Pacific Oceanic archaeology relate with a larger Asia-Pacific context or with the scope of world archaeology? Providing a new synthesis of this important region, Archaeology of Pacific Oceania addresses these questions and more. It will be of special interest to scholars of Asia-Pacific archaeology and anthropology and support students investigating the archaeology of Pacific Oceania. Book jacket.
