Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the archaeological significance of the early Marianas, this book details the first human settlement of Remote Oceania around 1500 B.C. It highlights the remarkable achievement of long-distance ocean navigation, over 2000 km, to reach these isolated islands. The author presents findings from extensive field research, covering environmental contexts, site inventories, and artifacts such as pottery and stone tools. The work emphasizes the importance of these discoveries for understanding both Asia-Pacific archaeology and broader patterns of human migration.
