Abstract:	People settled the Northern Cook Islands about 1000 years ago, after sea-level stabilised about its present height. Archaeological and geomorphological investigation indicates that every resource zone in the Northern Cooks and on Rarotonga was extensively exploited in the past and human settlement was closely related to late Holocene development of the atolls and fringing reefs.
