Books by Paul (University of Wales Rainbird

Paul Rainbird provides a new perspective on the historical construction of the characterization of islands as distinct physical and social entities, through a series of detailed case studies of prehistoric archaeology. It will be of primary interest to academics in archaeology, bioarchaeology, environmental archaeology and anthropology.

In this archaeological study of Micronesia, Paul Rainbird surveys the development of the islands beginning with the earliest process of human colonisation and places this development within the broader context of Pacific Island studies. The book draws on a wide range of archaeological, anthropological and historical sources.
