Western and other scholars have traditionally divided the massive Pacific region beyond Southeast Asia and Australia into three subregions or categories: Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. More recently, with the elucidation of a suite of characteristics (e.g. linguistics, pottery, island location in the remote, deep Pacific Ocean), Green (1991) and others have suggested that the region be re-divided into two parts: Near Oceania, encompassing Australia and western Melanesia, which was settled as much as 60,000 years ago as part of the world’s second great wave of human migration into previously unoccupied lands (Roberts 1998); and Remote Oceania, which encompasses the multitude of islands formerly grouped into eastern Melanesia (from the eastern Solomon Islands to Fiji), and all of islands formerly contained in Polynesia and Micronesia.
