Marquesas

Actually, to see pictures of the Marquesas, I refer you to a separate Marquesas archaeology home page.

New Caledonia

• Hienghene is as far as you can travel on the paved road on the mainland (Grande Terre) of New Caledonia.
• This part of the north-east coast of the Grande Terre is a great place to study coastal morphology, but watch out for stingrays if you venture into the water here.
• I like the mangrove areas in certain parts of the Grande Terre. These places are homes to a diversity of plant and animal life.
• In this cliff face, you can see Pandanus growing right on the rocks! In this area, the Pandanus nuts are large enough to be considered worthwhile food during times of starvation. This mode of eating is not currently practiced anywhere in New Caledonia.
• I enjoy hiking in the upper elevations on the Grande Terre, where some very nice prehistoric sites can be found.
• Here's a picture of the hut where I lived on Muli islet (part of Ouvea) for the duration of my field work there in 1998.
• I think you will like the view from atop of Faiava islet, looking across to Muli and Lekini. The bridge you see here is the only bridge on Ouvea. In fact, it's the only bridge in all of the Loyalty Islands right now.
• It took a crew of several people to exacavate in this rockshelter, Site LUV029.
• This is my favorite photograph. It's the sunset as viewed from outside of my hut on Muli.
• At low tide, you can walk across the channel to the Lekini cliffs.
• The beach at Muli faces a beautiful and bountiful lagoon.
