The traditional view of the colonisation of Fiji is one of an
initial movement to the islands three thousand years ago followed
by relative isolation until the 19th century. Therefore it is no
surprise that these islands and their inhabitants have been widely
studied as examples of cultures evolving in isolation. However,
recent archaeological evidence and new theoretical models have
questioned the degree of isolation experienced in the early years
of the occupation of the islands. One important site within this
debate is the Sigatoka sand dunes on the south-west shore of Fiji's
largest island. Here the archaeological evidence from this site is
reassessed and presents a dynamic, interactive picture of island
life, with constant contacts with other islands to the east and
west. The information from this site is not only placed within the
broader context of this group of islands, but also within other
theoretical migrationist and evolutionary models of island groups.
