Recent development in various fields of science made it ineviatable to rewrite the history of Polynesian migrations. Among the recently developed methods, perhaps the most important is the dating of absolute chronology by radiocarbon activity. By this means the origin of Polynesian settlement in this part of the world was pushed backwards to several centuries before Christian era. This is a short review of the recent contributions made by scholars in various fields interested in the Pacific realm.
