Discovery and settlement of Hawaii
Arrival of Polynesian peoples in the Hawaiian Islands / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is no definitive date for the Polynesian discovery of Hawaii. However, high-precision radiocarbon dating in Hawaii using chronometric hygiene analysis, and taxonomic identification selection of samples, puts the initial such settlement of the Hawaiian Islands sometime between 940-1250 C.E.,[1] originating from earlier settlements first established in the Society Islands around 1025 to 1120 C.E.,[2][3][4] and in the Marquesas Islands sometime between 1100 and 1200 C.E.[5][6][7]
