Abstract

Chapter 6. The Lapita Culture and Austronesian Prehistory in Oceania Matthew SpriggsThe Lapita culture (1600 BC to 500 BC/AD 1) represents the archaeological record of the first substantial Austronesian colonization into Melanesia and Polynesia.The situation prior to Lapita in western Melanesia (near Oceania) is discussed, together with the archaeology of the Lapita culture itself and questions of correlations with early Oceanic languages and colonizing people.Some observations relevant for an understanding of Austronesian migration are also presented.
