High-precision radiocarbon dating shows recent and rapid initial human colonization of East Polynesia

Our (Janet Wilmhurst, Terry Hunt, and Atholl Anderson) paper on an analysis of 14C dates for eastern Polynesia has been published in PNAS. It's an Open Access publication so you download it at: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/12/22/1015876108.full.pdf.   We've had a bit of new coverage for it:
