The origins of human colonization in East Polynesia and their relevance to maritime migration

印度-太平洋是一个由岛屿组成的世界，包括澳大利亚，在史前时期，澳大利亚在几个移民阶段被殖民，其中最后一个也是最长的一个是在东波利尼西亚。对这个时代在法属波利尼西亚的一个大的、被水浸湿的考古遗址的广泛挖掘，将使人们更好地了解早期移民的时期、社会和外部关系，以及将澳大利亚人民与我们太平洋和印度洋邻国的人民联系起来的史前海上移民过程。

The Indo-Pacific is a world of islands, including Australia, which was colonized during prehistory in several phases of migration, the last and longest of which was in East Polynesia. Extensive excavation of a large, waterlogged archaeological site of this era in French Polynesia will provide a better understanding of the period, society and external relationships of the early migrants, and of the processes of prehistoric maritime migration which link Australian peoples to those of our neighbours across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
