翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク History of Tonga ： ウィキペディア英語版 History of Tonga Seafarers associated with the Lapita diaspora first settled the islands making up the Kingdom of Tonga in the century after 900 BC.〔D Burley et al. 2012 ''High Precision U/Th Dating of First Polynesian Settlement'' PLOS ONE November 07, 2012 〕 The area served (along with Fiji and Samoa) as a gateway into the rest of the Pacific region known as Polynesia.〔see DV Burley. 1998. Tongan Archaeology and the Tongan Past, 2850-150 B.P. In: ''Journal of World Prehistory'' 12:337–392〕 Ancient Tongan mythologies recorded by early European explorers report the islands of 'Ata and Tongatapu as the first islands being hauled to the surface from the deep ocean by Maui.〔Honolulu: The Museum〕〔John Martin. 2005 (reprint). ''William Mariner: An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific Ocean''. Vol. 1. Elibron Classics〕 ==Pre-contact== The dates of the initial settlement of Tonga are still subject to debate, nonetheless one of the oldest occupied sites is found in the village of Pea on Tongatapu. Based on radiocarbon dating of a shell found at the site dates the occupation at 3180 ± 100 BP (Before Present).〔Kirch 1997:273〕 Some of the oldest sites pertaining to the first occupants of the Tongan Islands are found on Tongatapu which is also where the first Lapita ceramics were found by WC McKern in 1921.〔WC McKern. 1929. ''Archaeology of Tonga''. Bernice P. Bishop Museum Bulletin 60〕 Nonetheless, reaching the Tongan islands (without Western navigational tools and techniques) was a remarkable feat accomplished by the Lapita peoples. Not much is known about Tonga before European contact because of the lack of a writing system during prehistoric times other than the oral history told to the early European explorers. The first time the Tongan people encountered Europeans was in April 1616 when Jacob Le Maire and Willem Schouten made a short visit to the islands to trade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Tonga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
