Variation in Rapa Nui (Easter Island) land use indicates production and population peaks prior to European contact
Christopher M. Stevenson, Cedric O. Puleston, Peter M. Vitousek et al., 2015. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Obsidian hydration dates on gardens show land use shifting between regions over time, with declines in some areas before contact and continued use in others; the authors read this as local adjustment, not island-wide collapse.
