    Comparisons of Moriori, Maori, and Rapanui Cognates
    ( 2018) Richards, Rhys
    All the surviving 1,200 words from the extinct Moriori language were compared with Maori and Rapanui languages. A Moriori speaker would have understood much said by an Easter Islander as their languages shared at least one word in five, or over 20%, and probably shared many more.

    Sailors’ “Bring-Backs” From the Nineteenth Century New England Whaling Industry: A Wooden Moai From Rapa Nui (Easter Island)
    ( 2018) Gramly, Richard Michael
    Two examples of artifact collections that were brought back from the South Seas by Yankee whalers are documented. Among them is a singular head of a wooden moai from Rapa Nui (Easter Island), which is analyzed here and absolutely dated. This small sculpture is associated with an early phase of the American whaling industry in the Pacific.

    Revisiting Rapa Nui Matā
    ( 2018) Torrence,Robin ; Kononenko,Nina ; White,Peter
    Based on a use-wear and residue analysis of a collection of 12 matā in the Australian Museum, Sydney, we question the value of relying on tool shape as an adequate indication of past use. Although the tools in this collection were used for a broad range of tasks, including plant processing, wood, shell and bone working, and cutting and piercing of flesh or skin, some may have been used in interpersonal conflict. The study illustrates the value of museum ethnographic collections for understanding past tool use.
