Abstract
The site of the hillfort of Vugala, northern Viti Levu island (Fiji). This was one of many hillforts in the area - home to a few hundred people according to reports from the 1840s - that were probably established around AD 1400 in response to conflict resulting from a food crisis that had come about as a result of an enduring fall in sea level.
