abstract = {{This paper presents a detailed overview of archaeological research undertaken on Epi and Tongoa, in central Vanuatu. These islands were {\textless}br{\textgreater}previously connected to one another and respectively formed the western and eastern portions of Kuwae, one of the largest islands in the {\textless}br{\textgreater}Vanuatu archipelago, until the catastrophic Tombuk volcanic eruption separated them in the mid-fifteenth century AD. Oral traditions and {\textless}br{\textgreater}insights drawn from previous ethnographic, linguistic and genetic research provide context for the archaeological data. We begin to address {\textless}br{\textgreater}questions about the extent to which impacts of the major Tombuk eruption were experienced across the entirety of the former Kuwae {\textless}br{\textgreater}landmass, and the role of this and other volcanic events in the complex transformations of the physical and cultural landscapes of central {\textless}br{\textgreater}Vanuatu.}},
