Briefly describe the three settlement phases..
First phase of settlement, the Polynesian pioneers came during the years 300-600 A.D. and brought with them domesticated animals, such as pigs, chickens, and dogs. The second phase of settlement during 600 through 1100 A.D. native Hawaiians refined their agricultural techniques and aquatic food production to support a growing population. The third phase known as the expansion period lasted between 1100 through1650. Hawaiians built elaborate irrigation systems for taro, which in turn supported intensive pig production. Large fish ponds were built in which milk fish and mullet were procured. This is when the native population was at its highest.
