Sample Name: Rawaki

Sample UID: SA003651P

Sample Description:This sample consists of Austronesian speaking Micronesian population from Rawaki village. Rawaki village is located on New Georgia Islands, but Rawaki villagers are Austronesian speaking Micronesians who migrated from the Gilbert Islands, Kribati to the New Georgia Islands about 30 years ago. Hence in this publication the Rawaki villagers were regarded as Micronesians.
