Description and Table of Contents

Description

This multidisciplinary volume presents a fresh look at New Zealand settlement history. Contributors re-examine the orthodox scenario of Polynesian colonization, and by studying the languages, the climate, the archaeological evidence, and geomorphology, they create new and challenging models for the date, type and source of New Zealand colonization. All chapters except Roger Green's were originally presented at a conference in Auckland, NZ, in May 1988.
