Matthew Spriggs, Laureate Fellow and Professor of Archaeology, Australian National University, Australia
The earliest European explorations in the Pacific region sparked speculation about the origins of Pacific Islanders.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several archaeological studies were made in Polynesia, Micronesia, Island Melanesia, Australia, and New Guinea.
Matthew Spriggs will discuss the findings of a five-year project to understand the early history of Pacific archaeology and its contributions to our understanding of human settlement in the region.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
