Of the great unsettled problems of archaeology and anthropology perhaps the most hotly debated has been the relative importance of migration, diffusion, and independent invention in the origin of culture elements. The question has obvious importance, both for a proper understanding of man and culture, that ambitiously comprehensive goal of modern anthropology, and for historical reconstruction, the latter a necessary preliminary of the former. The concern of this thesis is with culture movement in the eastern Pacific Ocean area. The Pacific area as a whole has long been the geographical center of the diffusion problem (if we may so term it). Over the years advocates of the Old World origin of the ancient high cultures of the New World by migration or diffusion have advanced a large number of similarities common to Asia or Oceania, on the one hand, and the Americas, on the other, as evidence in support of their views. So far there has been no comprehensive recapitulation of the evidence. As a result independent-inventionist criticism has limited itself to a correspondingly unconvincing level. As a matter of fact it is not unwarranted to claim that the problem is still virtually unexplored on a systematic basis. It is the purpose of this work to begin such a systematic approach by setting forth a large body of the evidence for culture contacts across the Pacific for critical evaluation by students of culture. The magnitude of the cultural comparisons involved in such a project obviously requires that only certain portions of the general field be examined in this thesis.

During a 12-months period from 1 April 1966 to 31 March 1967 all infants born of Maori and Polynesian Pacific islander parentage domiciled within the Auckland Health District were included in a longitudinal infant health survey, and those that came under the supervision of the public health nurses in the district were followed up wherever practicable for a period of 12 months. The survey was primarily concerned with the social, biological, and operational (personal health services) factors likely to affect the health status and growth progress of infants of these migrant families undergoing the social processes of urbanisation--Part 1 - Introduction.
