The project aim is to investigate warfare in the ancient Tongan state through a study of earthwork fortifications. The conflict record for an Archaic state in Oceania that survived for 650 years contributes a new perspective to global research on warfare in complex societies. The effect of conflict is a prominent issue for Australia and long-term records of warfare in our region will improve our understanding of it. Intra-state conflict is the most pressing threat to political stability in South-East Asia and the Pacific and the project would benefit Australia by showing how changes to political systems are associated with phases of conflict and peace.

该项目的目的是通过研究土方防御工事来调查古代汤加国家的战争。大洋洲一个古老国家在6500年中幸存下来的冲突记录为全球研究复杂社会中的战争提供了一个新的视角。冲突的影响对澳大利亚来说是一个突出的问题，我们地区长期的战争记录将增进我们对冲突的了解。国家内部冲突是东南亚和太平洋地区政治稳定面临的最紧迫威胁，该项目将使澳大利亚受益，因为它将显示政治制度的变化如何与冲突与和平的各个阶段相联系。
