Talk:Lapita culture

message: Hi wikipedians, I hope I'm adding to this talk page correctly. I am editing the Lapita Culture page for my class assignment and have found several holes in it. One it is lacking cited sources in-text, second some of the information from certain sources is misleading so I have re-written a few things for clarification. I have not added them to the page yet, they are still in my Sandbox if you would please check it out it would help me a lot. I would also maybe suggest combining some of the headings such as "dating" and "distribution" which go hand in hand. I am very new to this Wiki thing, so any advice or suggestions would be great.

Basically, Lapita wares have been found in mainland New Guinea (and with connections to the Torres Strait Islanders). Cool stuff.

thread_title: To add to article

message: I was surprised to have not seen a section about the history of the excavations that lead to these discoveries. So, I added a section with what I basically know and will add citations as I corroborate the history. ~~~~ Fimbriata (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
