1829 The Island Civilizations of Polynesia, by Robert C. Suggs (read 28 Feb 1984) I am not sure when, if ever, I have read a book on anthropology before.

The author appears to be an accomplished archeologist. Provides photographs, methodology and artifact descriptions... and although he writes in detail, he is a wildly incompetent cultural anthropologist.

Stones. Large stone tiki at Vaitaviri in Taipi Valley. Great wall, paepae, at Vahangeku'a, Taipivai.
