Among these indigenous Oceanic cultures are the intrepid Polynesian double-hulled canoe navigators, the atoll dwellers of Micronesia, the statue carvers of remote Easter Island, and the famed traders of Melanesia. Decades of archaeological excavations--combined with allied research in historical linguistics, biological anthropology, and comparative ethnography--have revealed much new information about the long-term history of these Pacific Island societies and cultures. On the Road of the Winds synthesizes the grand sweep of human history in the Pacific Islands, beginning with the movement of early people out from Asia more than 40,000 years ago, and tracing the development of myriad indigenous cultures up to the time of European contact in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. This updated edition, enhanced with many new illustrations and an extensive bibliography, synthesizes the latest archaeological, linguistic, and biological discoveries that reveal the grand sweep of ancient history in the Pacific Islands."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Prehistoric peoples $z Oceania. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Cultural & Social. $x Cultural & Social. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Archaeology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Antiquities $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Prehistoric peoples $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075242 650 7 $a Ethnoarch�aologie. $2 gnd 651 0 $a Oceania $x Antiquities. 651 7 $a Oceania $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242982 651 7 $a Ozeanien $2 gnd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kirch, Patrick Vinton. $t On the road of the winds. $b Revised and expanded edition. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2017] $z 9780520968899 $w (DLC) 2017015961 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20181218010359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4EB81EA029211E9995FCDF696128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
