About This Book

Members of an archaeological expedition recount a multi-year voyage to a remote Pacific island, describing landing and daily life aboard their vessel, detailed surveys and measurements of the island's stone statues and burial places, collection of vocabulary and folklore, and interactions with local inhabitants and officials. The narrative blends travel anecdotes and practical details with historical notes drawn from early visitors' accounts, explains field methods and the difficulties of survey and preservation, and presents preliminary archaeological observations while indicating that fuller technical reports and measurements will follow.
