Requests:  1 Summary:  "The first edition of Feathered Gods and Fishhooks was the pioneering synthesis of ancient Hawaiian civilization from an archaeological perspective. This long-awaited revised edition now brings the field up-to-date, incorporating the results from literally hundreds of archaeological projects undertaken throughout the Hawaiian Islands over the past thirty-five years that have benefited from tremendous technological advancements, and presents an authoritative account of the origins and progression of Hawaiian culture prior to the arrival of Europeans. Generously illustrated, this revision includes dozens of new photographs and maps, along with a selection of color plates. This volume, like its predecessor, provides a synthesis of Hawaiian archaeology that avoids unnecessary jargon and is comprehensible to the interested layperson, yet is sufficiently detailed to be useful to the professional archaeologist. Feathered Gods and Fishhooks begins with an explanation of archaeological practice in Hawaiʻi, from antiquarian pursuits in the late nineteenth century through the development of modern research techniques, taking into account the recent tensions surrounding the significant shift of archaeology from a largely academic endeavor to a professional consulting enterprise. Following a review of environmental constraints and opportunities, and of the main kinds of archaeological evidence, the book explores the latest information on the first Polynesian settlement of Hawaiʻi. To achieve a holistic view, the wide range of topics discussed in this work include material culture, agricultural systems, population size, ritual architecture variations, diversity in landscapes, and archaeological evidence for historical transformations following European contact. The final chapters survey, island-by-island, major sites and patterns of ancient settlement. In total, this book tells a story of Hawaiian history, culture, and wisdom in an attempt to preserve ancestral archaeological records. As with the first edition, Feathered Gods and Fishhooks: The Archaeology of Ancient Hawaiʻi is an indispensable resource on the history of ancient Hawaiʻi. Of particular note is the extensive bibliography, a key guide to hundreds of often difficult to locate reports and publications on Hawaiian archaeology"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Ki Checked out 06/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.902 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.902 Ki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 996.902 Ki Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Kirch Checked out 06/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library R -- Hawaiian Reference H 996.902 Kirch Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 996.902 Ki Item being held   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 4 Next
