Abstract

A new archaeological research led to the analysis of a suite of 18 radiocarbon dates from nine different sites or localities, yielding important new empirical information on Mangareva cultural chronology. Information on these new dates and their stratigraphic and cultural contexts is provided and a brief discussion of their significance for Eastern Polynesian prehistory is presented.
