	Tubuai \| NZETC
		Tubuai was discovered by Cook in 1777; and, after the mutineers in the Bounty had taken possession of the vessel, and committed, to the mercy of the waves, Captain Bligh, with eighteen of his officers and men, this was the first island they visited.
		Their attempt to settle in Tubuai is celebrated in a poem by the late Lord Byron, called, “The Island, or Christian and his Companions,” in which are recorded some affecting circumstances connected with the subsequent lives and ultimate apprehension of many of these unhappy men, and several facts relative to the Society and Friendly Islands.
		Tubuai was also the first of the South Sea Islands that gladdened the sight of the Missionaries who sailed in the Duff.

	BETA Letter, Third Sample
		Tubuai is an exceptional island in the list of important archeological sites in Polynesia due to the ideal conditions for artifact preservation.
		That is to say most of the deposits are a mixture of old and new thoroughly churned by years of digging and cultivation, in recent times however modern cultivation methods have brought to the surface an enormous quantity of artifacts that were otherwise lost, buried, or discarded.
		These artifacts were however few and far between and while I claimed an early settlement it was hard to find Archeologists interested in material collected from the surface, further, the mixing of the deposits either by years of prolonged occupation or recent cultivation meant that it would be hard to find 'archeologically' further clues.

		And so shelves lined with valuable evidence are dismissed with a smug sort of indifference by the archaeologist who is so dedicated to archaeological discipline that he is then consequently unable to recognize the vital clues that abound all around his excavation.
		In Tubuai where most of the relatively recent geological processes are not likely to have produced stratified deposits of any great depth, the earliest artifacts may be only 30-40 cm below the surface.
		This means that modern farming methods may have already brought to the surface many of Tubuai's earliest artifacts.

		Lockwood cuts a pie slice of the world system as she traces these processes from the colonial to the contemporary, the local to the regional to the global.
		Her primary emphasis is on analysis of capitalism's impact from the bottom up, on the specificity of the persistence of the peasant mode of production in her ethnographic case on Tubuai (an island in the Tahitian group), and on internal heterogeneity (generational, gendered and socioeconomic).
		She begins in part one--"Structural-Historical Context of Contemporary Tahitian Society"--with a macrolevel analysis in a historical mapping of the impact of westernization on French Polynesia and its forces of transformation through missionaries, colonial officials and capitalism.
