HOUGHTON, Phillip
Robinson, Geoff
University of Otago (estab. 1869)

Geoff Robinson speaks with Doctor Phillip Houghton, the University of
Otago's Associate Professor of Anatomy. They discuss the discovery of
six skeletons unearthed at Singatoka, on the Western Coast of Fiji's
main island, Viti Levu. The find may confirm theories that this group of
Pacific Islands was inhabited 3,000 years ago. The bones were sent to
Doctor Houghton for examination.
