“Lapita is a story about the prehistory of the Pacific Islands,” Director of the PNG National Museum and Art Gallery, Dr Andrew Moutu, said.
Scientists believe the Lapita people originally came from Taiwan and other regions of East Asia about 3,000-4,000 years ago.
They were highly mobile seaborne explorers and colonists who had established themselves on the Bismarck Archipelago, which is northeast of New Guinea.
