Description

The paper discusses the role of the Solomon Islands in the settlement of the Pacific. It explores how the islands acted as both a bridge and a barrier for human migration in the region. The author, Matthew Spriggs, is affiliated with the Australian National University and has published extensively on the topic of archaeology in the Pacific. The paper is part of a larger project on the collective history of archaeology in the Pacific, with a focus on Francophone traditions. The paper provides insights into the bioarcheology of childhood and discusses theoretical and methodological developments in the field. The author's research contributes to a better understanding of the settlement patterns and cultural interactions in the Pacific region.
