A key issue in the Austronesian expansion debate is between the interdisciplinary archaeologists such as Peter Bellwood who broadly support a ‘Neolithic’ package which includes demic expansion, agriculture, pigs, chickens and certain types of artefact such as the lingling-o, and a more resistant archaeological coterie who claim the diversity of material culture on the ground does not support such a simple model (e.g. Szabo & O’Connor 2004; Anderson 2005). In some ways the linguists will tend to side with the unadorned Austronesian expansion model (e.g. Pawley 2003; Pawley & Ross 1993; Gray et al 2009) though sceptical voices are being raised (e.g. Donohue & Denham).

All the language phyla of East Asia have been argued as connected with one another at different times. Early ‘Indo-Chinese’ hypotheses linked Daic with Chinese, or later, Sino-Tibetan (Van Driem 2005).

If Austronesian voyagers could reach Hawai’i presumably they could also reach the west coast of North America. Suggestions of a general relationship between island SE Asia and North America have an old history but more recently a more detailed proposal has been advanced for contact between Polynesians the Chumash Indians and in Southern California between 400 and 800 AD. (Jones & Klar 2005; Klar & Jones 2005). This is based on the unique design of their boats, the tomol or sewn plank canoe, and equally striking, Polynesian-type compound fish-hooks.
