dc.description.abstract<p>In a recent lead article in <em>American Antiquity</em>, Jeanne Arnold (2007) challenged our assertion (Jones & Klar 2005; Klar & Jones 2005) that prehistoric Polynesians made contact with Native societies in southern California. While we responded to some of Arnold's charges and an earlier critique by Anderson (2006) in <em>American Antiquity</em> (Jones & Klar 2006,2008), we feel that it is also important to carry on this dialog with the Pacific specialists reached by the<em> Rapa Nui Journal</em>. Here we review some of the points made previously and develop several others in response to Arnold's rejection of a Polynesian contact event.</p>
