| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to elucidate the vulnerability and resilience to natural disasters of Pukapuka Atoll, a small island society in the Northern Cook Islands. The island is one of several atolls scattered within the trade wind zone. Tropical cyclones, in particular, are causing salt damage to the taro agricultural pits and swamps that sustain the subsistence. Even now, with relief supplies arriving from outside the island, it took more than five years to recover from Cyclone Percy hitting the atoll in February 2005. Prehistoric societies that could not expect support must have been more vulnerable. Archaeological evidence suggests that taro pits began to be constructed in the 14th century AD, and their numbers increased rapidly around his 16th century, with some pits being re-excavated from time to time. These features may be interpreted as a way of resilience (recovery process) of atoll societies.
