Stone use and avoidance on Easter Island: Red scoria from the topknot quarry at Puna Pau and other sources
The paper presents new observations on the use and avoidance of different red scoria rocks on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), made during fieldwork. It describes the different facies of the rock, their origins, their nature and their context of quarrying and use. From the latter, it is inferred that, for...

| description | The paper presents new observations on the use and avoidance of different
red scoria rocks on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), made during fieldwork. It
describes the different facies of the rock, their origins, their nature
and their context of quarrying and use. From the latter, it is inferred
that, for the prehistoric Rapanui, the meaning of red scoria transcended
practical utility. A combination of stone context and ethnographic
analogy suggests what this meaning or these meanings might be. Stone use
on the Island is presented as a model against which the stone use of
other prehistoric cultures might be measured. |
