Kirch takes as his focus the Hawaiian archipelago, commonly regarded as the archetype of a complex chiefdom. Integrating anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, traditional history, and theory, and drawing on significant contributions from his own four decades of research, Kirch argues that Hawaiian polities had become states before the time of Captain Cook's voyage (1778-1779). The status of most archaic states is inferred from the archaeological record. But Kirch shows that because Hawai`i's kingdoms were established relatively recently, they could be observed and recorded by Cook and other European voyagers. Substantive and provocative, this book makes a major contribution to the literature of precontact Hawai`i and illuminates Hawai`i's importance in the global theory and literature about divine kingship, archaic states, and sociopolitical evolution. 517 3 $aDivine kingship and the rise of archaic states in ancient Hawai'i 606 $aChiefdoms$zHawaii$xHistory 606 $aHawaiians$xKings and rulers 606 $aFirst contact (Anthropology)$zHawaii 606 $aHawaiians$xPolitics and government 615 0$aChiefdoms$xHistory. 615 0$aHawaiians$xKings and rulers. 615 0$aFirst contact (Anthropology) 615 0$aHawaiians$xPolitics and government. 676 $a320.4969 700 $aKirch$b Patrick Vinton$0678780 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970375703321 996 $aHow chiefs became kings$94050956 997 $aUNINA
