The Archaeology of Prehistoric Oceania (a single chapter of a title in Oxford Handbooks Online for personal use)

Cochrane, Ethan E; Hunt, Terry L (Oxford University Press, 2017)

The archaeological record of Oceania stretches over one-third of the earth’s surface with the first humans entering Oceania 50,000 years ago and with the last major archipelago settled approximately a.d. 1300. Oceania is ...
Coastal plain stratigraphy records tectonic, environmental, and human habitability changes related to sea-level drawdown, ‘Upolu, Sāmoa

Kane, Haunani H.; Fletcher, Charles H; Cochrane, Ethan E; Mitrovica, Jerry X; Habel, Shellie; Barbee, Matthew (Cambridge University Press, 2017)

Coastal plain stratigraphy is often over looked in paleo–sea-level reconstructions because carbonate sediments do not precisely constrain former sea level. Pacific Island sedimentology provides an invaluable record of ...
Investigating shellfish deposition and landscape history at the Natia Beach site, Fiji

Morrison, Alex E; Cochrane, Ethan E (Elsevier Ltd, 2008)

The relationship between environmental variation and subsistence practices is a central point of discussion in much Oceanic archaeology. While human predation can significantly reduce prey populations, environmental variation ...
Lack of suitable coastal plains likely influenced Lapita (~2800 cal. BP) settlement of Samoa: evidence from south-eastern Upolu

Cochrane, Ethan E; Kane, Haunani H.; Fletcher III, Charles; Horrocks, Mark; Mills, Joseph; Barbee, Matthew; Morrison, Alexander E; Tautunu, Matiu Matavai (Sage Publications, 2015)

Between 3050 and 2700 years ago, humans first colonized the islands of south-west Remote Oceania, a region stretching from Vanuatu to Sāmoa. These colonists created a dense archaeological record of Lapita pottery and other ...
Plainware ceramics from Samoa: Insights into ceramic chronology, cultural transmission, and selection among colonizing populations

Cochrane, Ethan E; Rieth, Timothy M; Dickinson, William R. (Elsevier Ltd, 2013-12-05)

The first people in Samoa produced a varied ceramic archaeological record including a single deposit with decorated Lapita ceramics on the island of Upolu in the west of the archipelago and a nearly contemporaneous plainware ...
Pre-Contact Samoan cultivation practices in regional and theoretical perspective

Quintus, Seth; Cochrane, Ethan E (Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2017)

Most pre-European Polynesian societies were supported by intensive and elaborate cultivation systems. These systems were at the core of human adaptation and political maneuvering, being intimately tied to both the physical ...
Samoan artefact provenance reveals limited artefact transfer within and beyond the archipelago

Cochrane, Ethan E; Rieth, Timothy M (Oceania Publications, 2016)

We summarise previous provenance research of Samoan lithic and ceramic artefacts, noting the timing and relative frequency of artefact transfers. Our summary suggests few intra and extra-archipelago artefact transfers for ...
