new bibliographies

ia ora na everyone, i just posted 2 bibliographies from my comps: one is about Pacific voyaging and settlement of the region with a focus on Polynesia, approved by Dr. Ben Finney himself, the other one is about settlement patterns, subsistence systems and social complexity in the same area. they were validated last march 2007 so maybe, new titles showed up since then...have fun...
