https://www.peabody.harvard.edu/early-archaeology-of-the-pacific The
earliest European explorations in the Pacific region sparked
speculation about the origins of Pacific Islanders. In the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several archaeological
studies were made in Polynesia, Micronesia, Island Melanesia,
Australia, and New Guinea. Matthew Spriggs will discuss the findings
of a five-year project to understand the early history of Pacific
archaeology and its contributions to our understanding of human
settlement in the region.
