Island-wide characterization of agricultural production challenges the demographic collapse hypothesis for Rapa Nui (Easter Island)
Dylan S. Davis, Robert J. DiNapoli, Gina Pakarati et al., 2024. Science Advances.
Shortwave-infrared satellite imagery and machine learning map the rock gardens island-wide at about 0.76 km², far less than the 4 to 21 km² assumed; the gardens could have fed about 3,000 people, near the population seen at contact, so there was no large population to collapse.
