Pressestimmen

From the reviews:“The book is short: eleven chapters in only 149 pages, and presents results of vey recent research. It seems largely intended for the general reader, but should also be of interest to Oceanic archaeologists … . It is well illustrated and references are given for each chapter rather than in a full bibliography at the end. There is a curious mixture of clear presentation and illustration of basic data and highly emotive prose, verging in places on hyperbole.” (Janet Davidson, Archaeology in New Zealand, December, 2013)
