Research Abstract |
In this study I explored adaptation strategies of the Lapita peoples, the first human group that colonized in the islands region of the Pacific, to maritime environment in Oceania, examining not only archaeological data but also present landscape of traditional settlement in Oceania by ethno-archaeological approach. In the archaeological study, I collected the data of environmental archaeology such as faunal and floral remains and ancient topography. In the ethno-archaeological study, I collected the data of environment and landscape of the land and the sea around some traditional settlements. Finally I synthesize these data above in order to establish a diachronic model for understanding the relation between human and environment.
