Until I investigated carefully, I did not know that Vanuatuans set sail further out in the Pacific Ocean again, heading eventually for the Easter Islands

This article is better-written in part because
it tells who Mads Ravn is in his academic
capacity and what his role is for the team.

What does the reader think of the article?
Are there too many of Ravn's personal
opinions that he expresses while the views
of other archaeologists are not mentioned
concerning the Vanuatuans up to 3000 years ago.

Your interest seems to be about Norwegians lately. Kind of a slim
basis for not knowing anything about Vanuatu, isn't it? It think the
article is the right length and that you haven't got a clue about the
Pacific.

That's your bunk; I am judging from the exact words
you write, which you write carelessly.

Yet, Mads Ravn has a clue because of his expertise in
migration and colonising over great distances.

You mean he is a foreigner who is responsible for the
digital documentation of the project?
You really are clueless.

It is much easier to colonize imaginary islands.

What an excellent show of ignorance and bluff again!
Ravn himself wrote about the Teouma excavation in Vanuatu:
"I am responsible for digital data documentation there
(2008 and 2009)."
Nothing about 'expertise in migration and colonising over
great distances'.

Your posts are as low and clueless as ever.

You mean you are clueless about Ravn's expertise
in migration and colonising over great distances? I am
surprised, Mr. non-Archaeology.

Namedropping again. Ross Clark did not appear in this thread.

Strawman argument.
You never heard of Ravn before that article
and you never read more.

If you are counting the islands are Rapa Nui (the main island)
Moto Orongo and Moto Nui are uninhabited ...

If you call every piece of rock surrounded by water an island.

When you consider the topology of bodies on a spherical surface - an
island is a body of water surrounded by land.
