The Evolution of the Polynesian Chiefdoms - New Studies in Archaeology

This is an archaeological perspective on the elaborate system of chiefdoms found in the islands of Polynesia. Using comparative ethnography, lexical reconstruction and direct archaeological evidence, the author reconstructs Ancestral Polynesian Society and details colonization, adaptation to changing environments, development of intensive production and social conflict and competition.
