Dr. Ethan Cochrane (Institute of Archaeology, UCL)

5.30pm Thursday 17th February, 2005

Room 612, Institute of Archaeology, UCL, 31-34 Gordon Sq., London

Abstract: Human populations in the Pacific islands have witnessed over three thousand years of variation in landscapes, climates, flora and fauna. Island inhabitants have influenced and responded to these environmental changes in different ways. This talk presents a long-term perspective on human-environment relationships in the Pacific islands highlighting how populations have, or have not, survived in the face of sometimes dramatic change.
