The Archaeobotany of Kuk

, 2017
The study of plants in archaeology—archaeobotany—is key to discovering how and when people exploited, cultivated and domesticated plants in the past, influenced their dispersal and effected their present-day biogeographic distributions. Archaeobotanical study incorporates a complex of methodologies, often reliant on carefully planned and executed ...

A micro‐geoarchaeological investigation of a cultivation pit (maite) on Teti'aroa atoll, Central‐East Polynesia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 17-41, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Cultivation pits represented the principal form of horticultural features developed by past atoll communities in Central‐East Polynesia (CEP), and they are still utilised on some atolls in Oceania. The majority of information about the use of cultivation pits in CEP derives from ethnographic and preliminary archaeological investigations.
