Analysis of plant microfossils in archaeological deposits from two remote archipelagos: The Marshall Islands, Eastern Micronesia, and the Pitcairn Group, Southeast Polynesia

Pollen and starch residue analyses were conducted on 24 sediment samples from archaeological sites on Maloelap and Ebon Atolls in the Marshall Islands, eastern Micronesia, and Henderson and Pitcairn Islands in the Pitcairn Group, Southeast Polynesia. The sampled islands, two of which are mystery islands (Henderson and Pitcairn), previously occupied and abandoned before European contact, comprise three types of Pacific islands: low coral atolls, raised atolls, and volcanic islands. Pollen, starch grains, calcium oxylate crystals, and xylem cells of introduced non-Colocasia Araceae (aroids) were identified in the Marshalls and Henderson (ca. 1,900 yr B.P. and 1,200 yr B.P. at the earliest, respectively). The data provide direct evidence of prehistoric horticulture in those islands and initial fossil pollen sequences from Pitcairn Island. Combined with previous studies, the data also indicate a horticultural system on Henderson comprising both field and tree crops, with seven different cultigens, including at least two species of the Araceae. Starch grains and xylem cells of Ipomoea sp., possibly introduced 1. batatas, were identified in Pitcairn Island deposits dated to the last few centuries before European contact in 1790.

Présentation de la conception de Marshall McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan écrit quelque part à peu près ceci: "vous jouez devant une salle vide; les spectateurs l'ont quittée depuis vingt ans". Devant le discours des analystes et critiques sociologues, philosophes, théologiens, administrateurs, diffuseurs et les autres sur 1es moyens de communication de masse-surtout les moyens électroniques-, l'auteur de La Galaxie Gutenberg et de Pour comprendre les Média semble éprouver à la fois une indignation amusée et angoissée. C'est que malgré l'habileté avec laquelle ils manient les concerts, les principes, les catégories dans l'analyse et l'interprétation de la réalité technologique, ils pêchent de ne point atteindre la "vraie” réalité et ainsi voient la vraie connaissance leur échapper.
