These ritual sites are found on many islands in eastern Polynesia, including Societe, Tsamous, and Mangareva. Rectangular areas are divided by paving stones, curbs, stone walls, and platforms, and many have an area called an ahu that is one or more steps higher along one of the back sides. Standing stones are placed like seats on top of the ahu, in front and behind, and along the other sides.
