The site is an early Polynesian occupation site dating to between 700 CE and 1200 CE, containing, as well as anthropogenic material, the remains of many species of birds now either globally or locally extinct, that were killed for their flesh, bones or feathers. The gull was described (as Larus utunui) from 12 bones from two individual birds. Osteological similarities suggest that the nearest living relative of the Huahine gull is the silver gull (C. novaehollandiae), the nearest extant populations of which are in New Zealand, 3,800 km south-west of Huahine.[1] References1. ^{{cite journal |author=Steadman, David W. |year=2002 |title=A new species of gull (Laridae: Larus) from an archeological site on Huahine, Society Islands |journal=Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington |volume=115 |issue= |pages=1–17 |url= }} {{Gulls}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q1244098}}{{paleo-bird-stub}} 8 : Birds of French Polynesia|Chroicocephalus|Extinct birds of Oceania|Fossil taxa described in 2002|Huahine|Holocene extinctions|Late Quaternary prehistoric birds|Birds described in 2002 |
