Sessions XXXVIII-1,2 of UISPP 2018 in Paris were dedicated to
monumental constructions and to complex exchange networks in the
Pacific. Both topics have been extensively commented on and
described by indigenous experts, explorers, missionaries, and
scholars over the last two centuries, however these have been made
famous only for the most impressive examples such as the moai
statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) or the kula exchange system of
the Trobriand Islands. Some of the latest research on these key
aspects of Pacific islands societies are made available in this
volume to researchers focusing on the region, but also to a more
global scientific community and to the general public. The volume
reflects the tremendous progress made in Pacific island archaeology
in the last 60 years which has considerably advanced our knowledge
of early Pacific island societies, the rise of traditional cultural
systems, and their later historical developments from European
contact onwards. Interdisciplinarity is particularly stimulating in
the Pacific region, where the study of the archaeological record
and of chronological sequences are often combined with other kinds
of information such as ethnohistorical accounts, oral traditions,
and linguistic reconstructions, in the French tradition of
ethnoarche ologie and the American tradition of historical
anthropology.
