Early archaeological studies suggested they may have arrived as early as the 3rd century CE, [ 13 ] while more recent analyses suggest that they did not arrive ...
There is no definitive date for the Polynesian discovery of Hawaii.However, high-precision radiocarbon dating in Hawaii using chronometric hygiene analysis, and taxonomic identification selection of samples, puts the initial such settlement of the Hawaiian Islands sometime between 940–1250 C.E., [1] originating from earlier settlements first established in the Society Islands around 1025 to ...
In 2010, a study was published based on radiocarbon dating of more reliable samples which suggests that the islands were settled much later, within a short timeframe, in about 1219 to 1266. [ 2 ] The islands in Eastern Polynesia have been characterized by the continuities among their cultures, and the short migration period would be an ...
