In January 2008, Canadian archaeologist David V. Burley claimed that it was the "cradle of Polynesia". ==Archaeological importance== In 2007, Burley led an archaeological team conducting digs at a site in Nukuleka, and uncovered pieces of Lapita pottery which they estimated to be about 2,900 years old. Burley stated: "Tonga was the first group of islands in Polynesia to be settled by the Lapita people...and Nukuleka was their first settlement in Tonga.".〔("Tonga's Nukuleka, the birth place of Polynesia" ), Pesi Fonua, Matangi Tonga, 7 January 2008〕 This finding challenged claims made by Samoa which, in the words of a New Zealand journalist, "has advertised itself for decades as the 'cradle of Polynesia'".〔("Tongan site dated oldest in Polynesia" ), Michael Field, Stuff.co.nz, 10 January 2008〕〔("Tonga archaeology discovery blow to Samoa's 'cradle' claim" ), Radio Australia, 11 January 2008〕 According to Burley, it was at Nukuleka that Melanesian settlers developed a new culture and social structures, thus becoming a distinct people, "Polynesians", before setting out to colonise the uninhabited islands of Polynesia.〔("Canadian rewrites Oceania history" ), Randy Boswell, ''Calgary Herald'', 21 January 2008〕 In 2012, Burley and his team reported Uranium-thorium dating of a coral file (abrader) found at Nukuleka of 888 BC (2,838 BP), thus providing a precise date for the earliest settlement of Nukuleka.〔Burley, David, Weisier, Marshall I., and Zhao, Jian-xin (2012) High Precision U/Th Dating of First Polynesian Settlment. PLos ONE 7 (11); e48769. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0048769, accessed 8 Dec 2013〕 However, Burley's conclusions have been questioned by Okusitino Māhina, lecturer in Pacific Political Economy and Pacific Arts Anthropology at the University of Auckland.〔("Was Nukuleka really the cradle of Polynesia?" ), Matangi Tonga, 10 January 2008〕〔("Anthropologist rejects Tonga 'cradle of Polynesia' theory" ), Radio Australia, 11 January 2008〕 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「Nukuleka」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.
