5 Key Issues Can we identify in our palaeoecological reconstructions of past environmental change impacts from different cultural groups (e.g. Polynesian from Amerindian)? Need to be able to distinguish in the biotic record processes associated with different modes of human activity - requires records with temporal and spatial resolution comparable to processes being examined (~decadal) - requires taxonomic resolution to species level
6 Juan Fernandez Archipelago No evidence for pre-colombian occupation of the Juan Fernandez Arch.

20 Key Issues Can we distinguish Polynesian from Amerindian settlement? What might we expect to see? Partial footprints from both groups? Selective exchange of material culture, crops etc? Chronology is critical Striving for maximum resolution (temporal and spatial) is essential in arguing cause and effect of climate change on human society through time
21 Key Issues Climate Change 1 6 Glacial-Interglacial Cycles Millennial Climate Fluctuations ENSO-related variability Temporal Scale (yr) 1 3 Extinction Speciation Domestication Migration Evolution Seasonality Settlement patterns Forest Clearance 1 Species Genera Family Kingdom Taxonomic Scale
22 Conclusions The far eastern Pacific Islands provide an exciting opportunity to examine the response of island ecosystems to different modes of human activity (interactions between different cultures) Developing high-resolution methods to enable us to distinguish in the biotic record processes associated with different modes of human activity Rigorous hypothesis testing will be required to move the debate forward
