Hi Professor,

So I did not include the piece about the pottery because I read the source they got it from and the information was incorrect. Basically it was never explicitly said that the pottery shards found in Samoa were Lapita pottery, only that the adzes were, so I decided to play it safe.

Hi Romily,

It seems like you are doing good work so far, but I'll make a couple of stylistic suggestions. First, its simpler if you stick to either BCE or BP (mostly because there is a 2000 year difference between them that otherwise sometimes gets confused!). You also probably want to leave some reference to Lapita pottery with the Samoan site for the distribution piece. I'd also reverse the order of Samoa and Tonga in your last sentence of the dating paragraph so that the most recent date (2 kya) is mentioned last.
