Fresh discoveries made with the aid of new technologies along with re-evaluation of longstanding but often-ignored evidence provide a stronger case than ever before for multiple prehistoric Polynesian landfalls.

Resources, Power, and Interregional Interaction
ISBN: 9781441932204 / Angielski / Miękka / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Archaeological research on interregional interaction processes has recently reasserted itself after a long hiatus following the eclipse of diffusion studies. This "rebirth" was marked not only by a sudden increase in publications that were focused on interac tion questions, but also by a diversity of perspectives on past contacts. To perdurable interests in warfare were added trade studies by the late 196Os. These viewpoints, in turn, were rapidly joined in the late 1970s by a wide range of intellectual schemes stimulated by developments in French Marxism (referred to in various ways; termed...

These warring factions variously label our Founding Fathers as Christians, Deists or Atheists, ascribe different meanings to the Declaration of Independence's words, "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," and argue the meaning of early federal actions...
