	Caroline Islands - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Caroline Islands form a large archipelago of widely scattered islands in the western Pacific Ocean, northeast of New Guinea.
		Some few Western travellers subsequently visited the islands, but an early visit of missionaries (1732) resulted in one of several murderous attacks on the newcomers; and only in 1875 did Spain, claiming the group, make some attempt to assert her rights.
		Japan occupied the islands in 1914 and received a League of Nations mandate over them in 1920, but after World War II the islands became trust territories of the United States, eventually gaining independence (1986 / 1994).

	Caroline Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caroline Island or Caroline Atoll (also known as Millennium Island), is the easternmost of the uninhabited coral atolls which comprise the southern Line Islands in the central Pacific Ocean.
		Caroline Atoll lies near the southeastern end of the Line Islands, a string of atolls extending across the equator some 1500 km (900 miles) south of the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific.
		Caroline Island is heavily vegetated, and most islets possess three ringed zones of vegetation: an outermost herb mat, typically comprised largely of Heliotropium anomalum; an inward zone of shrub, primarily Tournefortia argentea; and a central forested region, typically dominated by groves of Pisonia grandis trees.

	a study site devoted to the other indigenous script of the pacific
		The name Caroline Island Script (here CIS for short) refers to a writing system which originated in the Central Pacific, and only in a small group of islands in that part today called Micronesia (and the part which was once called the Caroline Islands).
		Since the Easter Island Script is so well known to both popular audiences and scholars as a “mysterious undecipherable writing system of the Pacific”, it is natural that the relation between these two scripts should be examined first.
		When we compare the small island group that this script is found in, to neighboring Micronesian or even Polynesian island groups, the absence of any other indigenous script (with the single exception of the Easter Island Script) similiar to the CIS is striking.
