Chickens travelled to South America and are found in the Chilean archaeological record. Sailing rafts and characteristic ‘birdman’ images are found in Ecuador. The second contacts were between South America and Eastern Polynesia, and resulted in the adoption of the sweet potato, the bottle-gourd and types of fish-poison. ![]() This must have taken place early in the colonisation of SE Asia and involved the transfer of the blow-pipe, the backstrap loom and probably ikat weaving techniques. ![]() The paper will propose a) That in all cases, contact was through voyages by Austronesian or SE Asian mariners b) That contact was opportunistic and probably not part of an established trade route, hence the lack of permanent Austronesian settlement in the New World There are three fairly clear phases of Austronesian contact, with the earliest between the Philippines and Meso-America.
