3.3. History
3.3.1 Polynesian Settlement

Polynesians occupied Norfolk Island prior to Europeans. Archaeological remains at the cemetery and
Emily Bay were investigated in 1995, 1996 and 1997 by Professor Atholl Anderson. The Emily Bay site
suggests a single phase of occupation in the period between c1150 and c1450AD, with settlers probably
arriving from East Polynesia by way of the Kermadec Islands. Other evidence for prior Polynesian
settlement was the discovery of bananas growing in Arthur's Vale in 1788, as well as stone artefacts,
remains of a canoe at Ball Bay and human remains. Numerous artefacts have been found at many
locations on Norfolk Island. The Norfolk Island Museum has a collection of Polynesian artefacts recovered
from the KAVHA site.

3.3.2 European Discovery

On 10 October 1774, Captain James Cook RN sighted Norfolk Island and then claimed it for the British
Crown. Cook noted the presence of large pines and abundant flax; this may have influenced the later
British decision to settle the Island. Jean-Frangoise de Galaup, Comte de La Pérouse, sighted the Island
in 1788 but was unable to land.

3.3.3. First (Colonial) Settlement 1788-1814

Arthur Phillip's instructions were that Norfolk Island was to be settled and secured as soon as possible
after landing at Botany Bay. The HMS Supply, with Lieutenant Philip Gidley King, arrived on the Island
