Abstract (in English)

The present Thematic Study of Early Human Expansion and Innovation is the second regional study of the Pacific aiming to provide comparative data to facilitate the selection of cultural properties for nomination to the World Heritage List. It is an important step in the identification and long-term protection of significant cultural heritage sites and landscapes in the Pacific. The study is an overview of the initial human colonisation of the Pacific, and the various defining characteristics that account for their commonalities as well as their diversity. The study is thus a broad introduction to the issues and places rather than a detailed assessment of potential individual nominations to the World Heritage List. The study was compiled by experts in the field but is based on the information available at the time of writing, not new original field or documentary research. As noted earlier, the study focuses exclusively on archaeological sites.
