abstract = {{The myth of Pitcairn, building on the destiny of the Bounty mutineers,{\textless}br{\textgreater}focuses on the recent history of this island as the epitome of marginality{\textless}br{\textgreater}and isolation. Human occupation of the island, however, occurred long{\textless}br{\textgreater}before the Bounty settlement, and Pitcairn provides a fascinating example of{\textless}br{\textgreater}Polynesian sustainability that is little known to the general public. Located at{\textless}br{\textgreater}the eastern fringe of Central Eastern Polynesia, the Pitcairn group includes{\textless}br{\textgreater}the volcanic island of Pitcairn (4.5 square kilometres), the elevated limestone{\textless}br{\textgreater}island of Henderson (37.2 square kilometres) and the two small atolls of{\textless}br{\textgreater}Oeno and Ducie (Figure 2.1). Situated approximately 400 kilometres east{\textless}br{\textgreater}of the Gambier Islands and 1,700 kilometres west of Rapa Nui/Easter{\textless}br{\textgreater}Island, this island group is one of the world{\textquoteright}s most geographically isolated.}},
