Easter Island Statues History

Their special job was to describe the mai as an archeological artefact. A statuette has a different form, depending on the form of the mind and figure. For each model a max. minimal sizes scale was specified and the volumes computed. Every guy was a simple and discreet group. Specifically, research objectives could then use sculpture typologies to study sculpture distributions and temporal relations in relation to the sizes and locations of line centres and the existence or lack of pupkao on amphitheatre locations.

The hypothesis is that the order of the statues within the biggest line centres would refer to the timeline of the eagle. It indicated that the sculpural accentuation placed on certain elements of the statues would be comprehensible in the polynesian worldview.

The moais were regarded as icons of a dominating socio-political system that was characterized as masculine, hierarchic and line-based. The comprehension of the statue's function as a legitimation icon in the ruling idealology also included an acknowledgement of the presence of a secondary idea that includes birds and other icons. 1986 Jo Anne Van Tilburg and Gonzalez N. watched a Rapanui crew under the leadership of Juan Haoa, who brought together pieces of Moai's heads and Pukkao from Hanga Te'e near Ahu Vaihu.

She lay on the rock below the little hoo on which she had once been standing, and the two explorers took the chance to examine the sculpture for a posterior draft. In 1987 the high point of the work in the fields was the discovering of a newly engraved marsh torsos as an impressing and to this day singular bas-relief comari near her.

There, we carried out an archeological study to record the statues of stones found on the Babeldaob and Koror Isles, and carried out ethnographical comparisons in Truk and Ponape. Ahu Vaihu (06-255) under the direction of Juan Haoa, the fragments of pukkao were taken out of the cove. Mosaic tip remnant near Ahu Vaihu (06-255) after it was taken out of the coves.

07-585-001 by a Rapa Nui crews, led by Luis Haoa, raised from the cliffs at the foot of a sea crag. 07-585-001 near its initial location (07-585). We had 130 statues in 1986 that were sufficiently preserved to allow the establishment of morphologic typologies, and five are the result of our work.

These were ordered on the number of statues contained in each of them. It was dominated by a rectangle shaped sculpture dominated by a rectangle shaped sculpture with a rectangle shaped skull. The only example of the 1A model was the Vinapu "Column" version of the scaria (002-209-009) in reds. Typ 2 (16 examples) consists of a vertical tapered shape and a vertical rectangle shaped skull.

There was a vertical rectangle and a horizontal rectangle shaped tip in model 3 (12 examples). Typ 4 (9 examples) had a vertical rectangle shape and a quadratic skull. After all, Typ 5 (8 examples) had an inverse trapezoid shape and a vertical rectangle shaped skull. We had 383 statues in 1994 that were sufficiently preserved to be included in a computerised data base.

Thereof 134 had decisive readings that define the form of the human being. Porphometric analyzer defines height, form, weight and proportional relations from mind to mind, giving a classifications of statues. Basically there are four groups of statues. One is made up of statues that are rather small and compact.

Its bodies are vertical rectangles and vice versa trapezoidal. Forth group are the large, vertical rectangle statues that stand on the Rano Raraku hills. While the numerical shape favoured for statues of Rano Raraku was the vertical oblong, ovale barrel, the vast majority of those still in Rano Raraku tended towards oblong plates.

These characteristics are underlined by the disproportionately strong accentuation of hand, mind, eyes as well as noses. "against socio-political units.
