How Chiefs Became Kings: Divine Kingship and the Rise of Archaic States in Ancient Hawai'i
ISBN: 9780520267251 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In How Chiefs Became Kings, Patrick Vinton Kirch addresses a central problem in anthropological archaeology: the emergence of archaic states whose distinctive feature was divine kingship. Kirch takes as his focus the Hawaiian archipelago, commonly regarded as the archetype of a complex chiefdom. Integrating anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, traditional history, and theory, and drawing on significant contributions from his own four decades of research, Kirch argues that Hawaiian polities had become states before the time of Captain Cook s voyage (1778-1779). The status of most...

Anahulu: The Anthropology of History in the Kingdom of Hawaii, Volume 2: The Archaeology of History
ISBN: 9780226733661 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) From the late 1700s, Hawaiian society began to change rapidly as it responded to the growing world system of capital whose trade routes and markets crisscrossed the islands. Reflecting many years of collaboration between Marshall Sahlins, a prominent social anthropologist, and Patrick V. Kirch, a leading archaeologist of Oceania, "Anahulu" seeks out the traces of this transformation in a typical local center of the kingdom founded by Kamehameha: the Anahulu river valley of northwestern Oahu.

On the Road of the Winds: An Archaeological History of the Pacific Islands Before European Contact
ISBN: 9780520292819 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Pacific Ocean covers one-third of the earth's surface and encompasses many thousands of islands, which are home to numerous human societies and cultures. 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.

The Lapita Peoples: Basis in Mathematics and Physics
ISBN: 9781577180364 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first account of the Lapita peoples, the common ancestor of the Polynesians, Micronesians, and Austronesian-speaking Melanesians who over the last 4000 years colonized the islands of the Pacific, including New Zealand and territories as far afield as Fiji and Hawaii. Its purpose is to provide answers to some of the most puzzling archaeological and anthropological questions: who were the Lapita peoples? what was their history? how were they able to travel such great distances? and why did they do so? Recent discoveries (several by the author of this book) have begun at last to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Concentrating their attention on the Pacific Islands, the contributors to this book show how the tightly focused social and economic systems of islands offer archaeologists a series of unique opportunities for tracking and explaining prehistoric change. From the 1950s onwards, excavations in such islands as Fiji, Palau and Hawaii revolutionised Oceanic archaeology and, as the major problems of cultural origins and island sequences were resolves, archaeologists came increasingly to study social change and to integrate newly acquired data on material culture with older ethnographic and...
