Funded Activity Summary

Proto Oceanic language, people and society: Foundations of the Austronesian settlement of the Pacific. The settlement of the farflung Pacific Islands is an important chapter in human history. The origins of the languages and cultures of this region, and how the first settlers adapted to and exploited the island environments they encountered, which this study investigates in great detail, are matters of interest not only to scientists but to a wider public which includes Pacific Islanders themselves. Research on this scale requires a great deal of intellectual capital and this project will help to ensure that Australia maintains at least one strong research centre in this field.
