Other factors such as presence of stone walls and earth mounds found in McArther Creek and Allambie, Victoria help point toward early settlements.

Human Cultural Development:
Sedentism was thought to increase the spread of diseases such as small pox. Because people lived in these structures for months at a time, culturally, they were less transient.

In New Guinea, swamp drainage advanced agricultureal cultivation.

Human Cultural Development:
People where becoming very tactic on how to use the land to their advantage. Cultivators where becoming independent domesticators of their plants. However, these where the earlier stages and animals weren't used, plus farmers where scattered.

Pebble and flake tools were also evident in any cave sites. In Toalian, Blade-like flakes where present in cutting tools. Also, trapazoildal miroliths appeared here and in other regions of Australasia.

Human Cultural Development:
Tool making is always useful in determining cultural development. For example, the increased technologies  in tools. stone implements also emulated.

This domino effect continued  into the Philippians and eventually made its way into the Austrosian world. More specifically, from Madagascar to Easter Island. There are a few inferences about the linguistic modifications and dispersals. So, the break up began in Taiwan as early populations spread. Then a second version (Malayo) migrated to the Philippians and so on. These linguistic patters continued, making their way though New Guinea and Madagascar.

Human cultural Development:
Language dispersal helped form many different, and some more closely related cultures. Not only does the linguistic variations suggest contact between settlers on various islands, but also shows that they where around each other enough in order to branch or spread their languages.

The discovery of Nanguanli has allowed archeologists to link this early unified culture to Austronesians. Pottery and artifacts of both populations where found mixed together suggesting there was contact.

Human Cultural Development:
This is evidence that early cultures saw the opportunity to rely on eachother and unify. This would also transition into later colonies as well.  During this time, language and agriculatural advances where also taking place.

These dispersals made their way into Southeast asia And Madagascar. Some  used red-slipped pottery while others used shell artifacts.

Human Cultural Development:
The specific area or land they where colonizing helped determined what type of stone was being used.

This is a great example of how trade networks were expanding and how this may have further influenced unity or cultural expansion and migration.

Human Cultural Development:
As demographic and economic change was occurring , we can see how trade played a major role in fueling this. Not only is this evidence of a more developed social complexity, but it further supports the expanded colonial support in cultural and artifactual trade.

This also enabled the spread of Proto-Oceanic languages spoken in pacific Islands. During this time, sand or shell pottery, cooking pots, and open bowls were commonly used. Economically, they were self  sufficient.

Human Cultural Development:
During occupations and settlement there was still advantageous item exchange between islands. This part in the timeline is huge for cultural develpoment becuase of the Oceania colonization and the growth of a stronger economy.

There is evidence of raised stone platforms knows as Ahu. The built statues are thought to be representations of deceased chiefs and we still aren't sure exactly how the people moved the massive red volcanic stone.

Human Cultural development:
This was also a time of great symbolism as seen in the statues. Some theorize that they used up the environment by advancing their technology and expanding their use of their food sources. Others belive the collapse was caused by European arrival, which is the most common theory.

During this time their was a rise of northern chiefdoms. This lead to a competitive nature between Islands such as Easter Island and the Hawaiian Islands. According to the article, there indigenous agriculture was popular.
299-301
Human Cultural Development:
Competitive nature was thought to be related to the increaseing desire to cultivate new land. From a socio-political perspective, chiefdoms where becoming increasingly popular, and cultural evolution and ecological adaptations were also taking place.
