Abstract

The human remains recovered from excavation in the Mangaliliu village (North Efate, Vanuatu) and dated between 2400 and 1800 BP (Early Mangaasi), are that of a 25-35 years old female displaying a poor oral-dental health. The skull, bordering on dolichocrany, is high. face is projecting (alveolar parts of the maxilla and mandible) and displays a bilateral hypoplasia of the zygomatic bones and abnormal left zygomatico-zygomatic synarthrosis. The post-cranial bones are slender and the stature is estimated to be around 165.5 cm. These skeletal remains display similarities with contemporaneous individuals from Tonga, Fiji and New Caledonia, and especially with the female from Koné (New Caledonia).
