A partial inhaling bowl found at the site of Grand Bay on Carriacou in deposits dating between ca. A.D. 1000–1200, along with two other unprovenienced specimens from the local museum, were dated using luminescence (TL and OSL) to determine their antiquity. Surprisingly, the dates had a weighted average of 400 ± 189 B.C., making them several hundred years older than all 14 C assays from the island; however, they do overlap in age with similar artifacts found on Puerto Rico and Vieques Island over 750 km away. Additional luminescence dating of two stylistically distinct Suazan ceramic sherds excavated from stratified deposits at Grand Bay fall within the expected ceramic and radiocarbon chronology. These data, coupled with petrographic analysis of the specimens, suggests that they were not made using local materials. Instead, they appear to have been transported to the island, possibly hundreds of years later, as heirlooms. This may be the first evidence for inter-island transport of drug paraphernalia in the Caribbean.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Kaye, Quetta and Feathers, James and Pavia, Jennifer A. and Marsaglia, Kathleen M.}, year={2009}, month={Mar}, pages={596–606} }

The Chilean specimen identified has the exact same amplified mtDNA pattern as samples recovered from archaeological sites in Samoa and Tonga, but is only one base different from prehistoric chicken samples from Tonga ( n  = 1), Niue ( n  = 1), Easter Island ( n  = 1 of 6), and Hawai'i ( n  = 1). To examine the possible dispersal mechanisms of chicken between Polynesian islands and the Americas, we conducted computer simulations of seafaring from these six island groups and the Tuamotus, as well as return voyages. Simulation results from sailed vessels suggest that in certain months, landfall on the Pacific Coast of South America from Samoa and Tonga was fairly successful at around 40% (particularly in March for the former and January/February for the latter). For Niue, sailed vessels were 21% successful in January with only 2% success in December. Sailed vessels from the Tuamotus (a proxy for closer island groups to the west with evidence for chicken such as the Cook Islands) were successful in January and December, with 15% and 23% of the vessels making landfall in South America. Vessels sailing from all simulations heading east from Easter Island resulted in landfall. Hawai'i had only a 1% success rate if sailing in January, but high numbers of vessels reached southern Mexico and Central America in August and September. Most landfalls occurred much farther north than Chile, in Ecuador and Peru. Unsuccessful voyages from all of the islands other than Easter Island and Hawai'i often made landfall on islands to the east. Return voyages from Chile were not possible or extremely rare during most times of the year. Overall, seafaring simulations suggest that Polynesians may not have initially landed in close proximity to El Arenal-1—contemporaneous or even earlier archaeological evidence of translocated chicken remains may indeed be found further north. In addition, if Polynesians found it difficult or impossible to return to their homeland, the possibility exists that co-mingling between Polynesians and South American groups resulted in offspring that carried an admixture of genetic traits.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Callaghan, Richard}, year={2009}, month={Feb}, pages={214–223} }

A.D. 400–1200. Results from four seasons of excavation at Grand Bay and two at Sabazan indicate that inhabitants colonized the island later than larger nearby islands (although an earlier settlement is possible); were engaged in inter-island and South American interactions as evidenced through analysis of pottery, stylistic artifacts, and faunal remains; exploited a variety of marine and terrestrial foods, including several animals rarely found in the Antilles that were translocated to the island from elsewhere; and buried their dead in and around shell middens and, at least once, under a habitable structure.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Kappers, Michiel and Kaye, Quetta and Giovas, Christina M. and LeFebvre, Michelle J. and Harris, Mary Hill and Burnett, Scott and Pavia, Jennifer A. and Marsaglia, Kathleen and Feathers, James}, year={2009}, pages={247–266} }

Magellan's main objective was to find a westward route to the Moluccas or ‘Spice Islands’ on the equator and claim their wealth for the Spanish Crown. However, instead of reaching the Moluccas first, Magellan landed on Guam in the northwest Pacific at 12°N on 6 March 1521, passing only two uninhabited islands along the way. Three questions arise: first, why did he have such fair weather on leaving the Straits in a region notorious for severe conditions? Second, why did Magellan sail so far north of the Moluccas, which he knew to lay at the equator, especially considering that the crew was suffering from severe malnutrition, dehydration and scurvy? Third, how did the fleet sail more than 15,000 kilometres without sighting any of the thousands of islands scattered throughout the Pacific? We postulate that the answers to these questions are linked. Using computer simulations, the authors examine the extent to which oceanographic conditions, a possible El Niño event and decisions made by Magellan helped structure one of the world's most famous voyages.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF PACIFIC HISTORY}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Callaghan, Richard}, year={2008}, pages={145–165} }

Grand Bay is one of the largest and archaeologically richest sites on the island and in the region, but is rapidly succumbing to erosion from natural forces and human activities. A similar problem affects the site of Sabazan. Both sites are located on the windward east coast of the island and have been, or are currently, mined for sand; two hurricanes also occurred recently. Photographs and extensive mapping of Grand Bay and preliminary work at Sabazan indicate that both sites are eroding at an average rate of approximately 1 m per year along the lengths of their coastal profiles. These data, combined with a quantification of materials recovered from excavation at Grand Bay, indicate that the loss of cultural remains from natural and human causes is catastrophic and that these sites will likely be completely destroyed within the next two decades if erosion continues at its present rate.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Kappers, Michiel and Kaye, Quetta}, year={2006}, pages={251–262} }

Later in time, especially during the Early Yayoi‐Heian period (˜300 B.C.–A.D. 300), ceramic assemblages appear to contain mainland (Japan) Yayoi pottery. A greater number of these sherds present in Okinawa over time coincide with an increasing amount of interaction with mainland Japan, as evidenced by other exchange items. In this preliminary study, the authors analyzed sherds from several Early Yayoi‐Heian period deposits from sites in Okinawa using thin‐section petrography and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS). The objective was to examine the applicability of these techniques for Okinawan ceramic provenance studies, assess intra‐ and intersite variation in mineralogical and chemical composition, and determine whether some sites exhibited a higher frequency of pottery from one locale versus another that might suggest the importation of pottery from mainland Japan. Results are equivocal, suggesting that the region's geological complexity may inhibit successful provenance study of ceramics using these and possibly other compositional techniques. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.}, number={8}, journal={GEOARCHAEOLOGY-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL}, author={Fitzpatrick, Scott M. and Takamiya, Hiroto and Neff, Hector and Dickinson, William R.}, year={2006}, month={Dec}, pages={803–822} }
