the remains of temples, places of worship, or of edifices dedicated in some way
to the religion and superstitions of extinct generations, whose graves cover
every island and reef." You can read more of this excellent essay. - From

Prehistory of Papua New Guinea __ Learn about research on the island of Garua.
"At first glance the scattered archaeological sites on this tropical Pacific
island would seem to bear little resemblance to the much vaunted Pompeii. But

preserved - by volcanic ash. Indeed over the past 6,000 years no fewer clan six
eruptions have blanketed the 12-square-kilometer island in an ashen
sarcophagus." Discover some of its history and even find out how to volunteer to
work the site along with how much it costs. - From University of Sydney -
