This project uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine the biological, cultural and environmental factors underpinning the Polynesian people through a study of their ancient homeland in Tonga. Early Polynesian society developed 2650-2350 years ago, but little is known about the people, their culture and how sea-level fall impacted subsistence and settlement. The proposed study’s goal is to fill this gap in human knowledge about our Pacific neighbours using a unique skeletal assemblage, excavated cultural remains and advanced mapping of palaeo-sea-level markers that will improve understanding of the impact of environmental change on human societies in our region.

该项目使用跨学科的方法来检查波利尼西亚人民在汤加的古代家园的生物，文化和环境因素。波利尼西亚早期的社会发展了2650-2350年前，但对人的文化以及海平面跌倒如何影响生计和环境知之甚少。拟议的研究的目标是，使用独特的骨骼组合，挖掘的文化遗骸以及对古 - 级标记的高级映射，以填补有关我们太平洋邻国的知识，以提高对环境变化对我们地区人类社会的影响的理解。
