Abstract

Lapita comprises an archaeological horizon that is fundamental to the understanding of human colonisation and settlement of the Pacific as it is associated with the arrival of the common ancestors of the Polynesians and many Austronesian-speaking Melanesians more than 3000 years ago. While Lapita archaeology has captured the imagination and sustained the focus of archaeologists for more than 50 years, more recent discoveries have inspired renewed interpretations and assessments. Oceanic Explorations reports on a number of these latest discoveries and includes papers which reassess the Lapita phenomenon in light of this new data. They reflect on a broad range of interrelated themes including Lapita chronology, patterns of settlement, migration, interaction and exchange, ritual behaviour, sampling strategies and ceramic analyses, all of which relate to aspects highlighting both advances and continuing impediments associated with Lapita research.

Abstract

This volume comprises 23 chapters that focus on the archaeology of Lapita, a cultural horizon associated with the founding populations who first colonised much of the south west Pacific some 3000 years ago. The Lapita culture has been most clearly defined by its distinctive dentate-stamped decorated pottery and the design system represented on it and on further incised pots. Modern research now encompasses a whole range of aspects associated with Lapita and this is reflected in this volume. The broad overlapping themes of the volume—Lapita distribution and chronology, society and subsistence—relate to research questions that have long been debated in relation to Lapita.

Abstract

Les 28 et 29 avril 2016 s’est tenu à Port-Vila, capitale du Vanuatu, un colloque réunissant des chefs coutumiers, des ministres vanuatais et des universitaires d’origines géographiques et scientifiques très diverses. Juristes, économistes, mais aussi anthropologue, agronome, sociologue et informaticien, ont engagé une réflexion sur le thème “Vanuatu : oscillation entre diversité et unité”. La diversité est, à l’évidence, la caractéristique première de l’archipel vanuatais composé de 83 îles, mais elle est aussi au cœur de son identité : 113 langues vernaculaires, des coutumes parfois en conflit, différentes ethnies. L’unité constitue à la fois une finalité et une réalité. Une finalité : le 30 juillet 1980, les Nouvelles Hébrides, condominium franco-britannique, accédaient à l’indépendance. Dès lors, la jeune nation devient la République de Vanuatu, “Notre Terre”, et poursuit le but d’une unité politique. Une réalité : malgré ses différentes déclinaisons, la coutume, reconnue en tant que norme à part entière par la Constitution vanuataise, est le fondement de l’identité nationale, la terre en est le socle sacré. Mais les influences extérieures, hier la christianisation et la colonisation, aujourd’hui la mondialisation, vecteurs d’uniformisation, menacent d’érosion l’identité plurielle de Vanuatu. Ces influences sont également climatiques, les épisodes cycloniques sont, à juste titre, vécus comme un injuste tribut imposé par les États industrialisés. Il n’en demeure pas moins que Vanuatu a été déclaré pays le plus heureux du Monde.
