Quantitative Phylogenetic Analyses of Lapita Decoration in Near and Remote Oceania

Abstract

Around 3470–3240 calibrated years before the present (cal. BP) populations with Lapita pottery established settlements in Near Oceania on Mussau and the Bismarck Archipelago, and then sometime between 3250–3100 cal. BP, in the southeast Solomons and Remote Oceania, terminating the eastward spread in Samoa by 2900–2700 cal. BP (Denham et al. 2012; Rieth and Hunt 2008). While Near Oceania had been populated prior to the advent of Lapita ceramics for 40,000 years or more (Summerhayes et al. 2010), the presence of these ceramics in Remote Oceania marks the first human colonisation of this vast region outside western Micronesia (Fig. 1).
