• Mounds and platforms distributed widely through Polynesia were originated from the 'house foundation-grave' mound of Fiji/Western Polynesia. In Tonga, house foundations were separated from graves, and the sacred areas fronting chiefly graves became places for religious ceremonies. This process corresponded to the emergence of Polynesian cosmology, in which the other world was clearly distinguished from this world. The Tongan complex of platform and open-air court was dispersed in Eastern Polynesia, where uprights like stone slabs were erected in the consecrated area. This process correlated with the connection between the sky and the chieftainship, which meant the emphasizing of vertical structure in the Polynesian cosmology.
