Book Hawaii   s Past in a World of Pacific Islands

Download or read book Hawaii s Past in a World of Pacific Islands written by James M. Bayman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given its relatively late encounter with the West, Hawaii offers an exciting opportunity to study a society whose traditional lifeways and technologies were recorded in native oral traditions and written documents before they were changed by contact with non-Polynesian cultures. This book in the SAA Press Current Perspectives Series chronicles the role of archaeology in constructing a narrative of Hawaii’s cultural past, focusing on material evidence dating from the Polynesians’ first arrival on Hawaii’s shores about a millennium ago to the early decades of settlement by Americans and Europeans in the nineteenth century. A final chapter discusses new directions taken by native Hawaiians toward changing the practice of archaeology in the islands today.
