Abstract

The authors used simulation to examine the viability of current theory concerning the expansion of the 'Lapita Cultural Complex' in the Southwestern Pacific region. Their simulation program, based on simple rules, generated a series of virtual colonies over time using a wide range of parameter values. These runs showed potential inconsistency about the speed of 'Lapita people', hence raising new questions about their social organization.
