Lapita voyagers enter Remote Oceania

node

The Lapita cultural complex, marked by a distinctive dentate-stamped pottery, appears in the Bismarck Archipelago and then spreads rapidly eastward past the limit of intervisible islands into Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji and on to Tonga and Samoa. It represents the first human settlement of Remote Oceania and the entry of Austronesian languages into the open Pacific. The dates are conventional approximations from standing knowledge; no radiocarbon synthesis could be consulted in this session, and the chronology has been refined repeatedly.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  29. Supports the agreement between the branching order of Austronesian language trees and the archaeological settlement sequence of the Pacific. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. The volume number is given from standing knowledge and the page range is omitted rather than guessed.
