A Story Told in Stone
French Polynesia
| Length: | 45 min |
| Released: | 0 |
Before the tragic arrival of European disease, the French Polynesian islands once housed thriving native populations. The vines and trees of the jungle have since consumed the huge stone cities that sprawled across the interiors of Tahiti, Raivavae, and the Marquesas Islands. These structures remained forgotten until archeologist Edmundo Edwards rediscovered them. Now, with each swipe of his machete, Edmundo brings to light a world beyond imagination.

"I would highly recommend this film for an introductory archaeology course, particularly that section on Oceanic archaeology. The film is also valuable for courses on Oceania, world archaeology, colonial issues and situations where the role of oral history, primary historical sources and ethnography are allied with archaeological research into a wider anthropological project of reconstructing a cultural history. For the anthropological archaeologist this is an important justification of the traditional four field approach. It is an excellent and highly recommended example of cultural resource management."
