In this innovative book, Kirch and Green explicitly develop the theoretical underpinnings, as well as the particular methods, for such a historical anthropology. Drawing upon and integrating the approaches of archaeology, comparative ethnography, and historical linguistics, they advance a phylogenetic model for cultural diversification, and apply a triangulation method for historical reconstruction. They illustrate their approach through meticulous application to the history of the Polynesian cultures, and for the first time reconstruct in extensive detail the Ancestral Polynesian culture that flourished in the Polynesian homeland - Hawaiki - some 2,500 years ago. Of great significance for Oceanic studies, Kirch and Green's book will be essential reading for any anthropologist, prehistorian, linguist, or cultural historian concerned with the theory and method of long-term history.EthnologyHawaiiEthnologyPolynesiaHawaiiansSocial life and customsPolynesiansSocial life and customsHawaiiAntiquitiesPolynesiaAntiquitiesEthnologyEthnologyHawaiiansSocial life and customs.PolynesiansSocial life and customs.996.9/0009/014Kirch Patrick Vinton678780Green Roger CurtisUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783126103321Hawaiki, ancestral Polynesia3807118UNINA
