In the heart of the Pacific, the unusual and little-known name Lapita refers to a 3000 year old civilisation. The Lapita Cultural Complex is characterised by two striking elements - the introduction by the explorers of Austronesian language into this part of the world and also a very specific tradition of denate-stamped pottery - which has fascinated generations of researchers. This book is a guide to the discovery of this Pacific civilisation which, through the extraordinary quality of its material production, still captivates the imagination and has left its mark on traditional Oceanic graphic art.
