Danish archaeologists searching for pottery in M'buke in Papua New Guinea, claim to have made a sensational discovery that further refutes claims by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl that Polynesian culture can originally have come from South America.
A female skeleton found just outside their camp, under 2,000 year-old pottery shards seems to confirm that the Polynesian islands were populated as a result of migration from Asia.
