Among these indigenous Oceanic cultures are the intrepid Polynesian double-hulled canoe navigators, the atoll dwellers of Micronesia, the statue carvers of remote Easter Island, and the famed traders of Melanesia. Decades of archaeological excavations-combined with allied research in historical linguistics, biological anthropology, and comparative ethnography-have revealed much new information about the long-term history of these societies and cultures. On the Road of the Winds synthesizes the grand sweep of human history in the Pacific Islands, beginning with the movement of early people out from Asia more than 40,000 years ago and tracing the development of myriad indigenous cultures up to the time of European contact in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. This updated edition, enhanced with many new illustrations and an extensive bibliography, synthesizes the latest archaeological, linguistic, and biological discoveries that reveal the vastness of ancient history in the Pacific Islands. 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$zOceania 607 $aOceania$xAntiquities 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples 676 $a995 700 $aKirch$b Patrick Vinton, $0678780 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911046714703321 996 $aOn the road of the winds$92780190 997 $aUNINA
