Back To 800 Bc
Archaeological work in the Sigatoka Valley of Fiji's main island of Viti Levu has indicated that people may have been living there between 460 and 800 BC.
This was stated recently by Mr.
Bruce Palmer, Director of the Fiji Museum, who added that no radio carbon dates had yet been obtained from pottery found in the valley.
An archaeological team from the Fiji Museum under Mr. Lawrie Birks, of Auckland, is currently working in the area as part of a three-year programme to learn more about migration patterns in the Pacific.
