I visited Easter Island in December 2010. Together with Miguel Fuentes, Ricardo Guzman and Carlos Rodriguez-Sickert I am currently working on a paper about the history of its moai, the monumental stone figures built during the centuries between the first settlement of the island by Polynesians sometime between 800 and 1200 CE and the outbreak of serious warfare in the 17th century. Here is Unesco World Heritage Sites Rapa Nui page. The photographs on this page were taken by me during my trip in 2010.
