Reviews

The importance of understanding the spatial and geomorphological dimensions of large sites is undisputed and this forthright monograph makes a substantial contribution to their study and to Fiji s prehistory.'--Geoffrey Clarke Archaeology in Oceania Sigatoka: The Shifting Sands of Fijian Prehistory represents an important contribution to our understanding of an archipelago that lacks adequate archaeological coverage relative to its size and importance.'--Michael J Kolb American Antiquity, 67 (01/01/2002) an interesting and informative book. I am reluctant to use the trite expression that this book is a 'must have for all Pacific archaeologists, ' but in this case, it does seem to apply.'--Jeffrey T Clark Asian Perspectives (01/01/2002)
