Rapa Nui is famous for its moai (statues) and ahu (platforms), yet research into the island's many basalt quarries, sources and workshops is limited. These geological and archaeological sites provided the raw materials for tools such as toki (adzes and picks), which facilitated the manufacture of Easter Island's iconic stonework. Other basaltic tools such as hoe (knives), ohio (axes) and mangai mā‘ea (stone fishhooks) served for subsistence practices. However, little is known about the sources of these artefacts, the sequence of their manufacture and their geochemical compositions. In this paper, we provide archaeological site descriptions and geochemistry of source material from the Rua Tokitoki quarry and a fine-grain basalt locality on Poike to contribute towards an understanding of prehistoric mining, social interaction and elite oversight on this isolated East Polynesian outpost.

Rapa Nui（复活节岛）上的 Rua Tokitoki adze 采石场和 Poike 细粒玄武岩源的考古文献和地球化学

Rapa Nui 以其 moai（雕像）和 ahu（平台）而闻名，但对该岛上众多玄武岩采石场、来源和作坊的研究有限。这些地质和考古遗址为土木（锛和镐）等工具提供了原材料，从而促进了复活节岛标志性石制品的制造。其他玄武工具，如锄头（刀）、俄亥俄州（斧头）和 mangai mā'ea（石鱼钩）用于维持生计。然而，人们对这些人工制品的来源、制造顺序和地球化学成分知之甚少。在本文中，我们提供了来自 Rua Tokitoki 采石场和 Poike 上细粒玄武岩地区的原始材料的考古遗址描述和地球化学，以有助于了解史前采矿，
