Fa'ahia
An early Polynesian occupation site on Huahine, Society Islands, dated 700-1200 CE, made famous by Yosihiko Sinoto's excavations: waterlogging preserved rare wooden artifacts (canoe parts, adze handles, patu clubs) alongside bird bones documenting several now-extinct species. The same north-eastern district of Huahine holds one of Polynesia's largest concentrations of standing marae (stone ceremonial platforms), still visible today at nearby Maeva.
