It was recorded in 1981 but was not released until 1983. The album was recorded upon their return to New York , after staying 9 months in Dijon , France .

Taiwan is the urheimat of the Austronesian languages . Archaeological evidence e.g., Harvcolnb Bellwood 1997 suggests that speakers of pre Proto Austronesian spread from the South Chinese mainland to Taiwan at some time around 8,000 years ago. Evidence from historical linguistics suggests that it is from this island that seafaring peoples migrated, perhaps in distinct waves separated by millennia, to the entire region encompassed by the Austronesian languages Harvcol Diamond 2000 . It is believed that this migration began around 6,000 years ago Harvcol Blust 1999 . However, evidence from historical linguistics cannot bridge the gap between those two periods.

Microliths finds are more sparse from ca 6000 BC and the period is said to transit into the Kongemose culture ca 6000 BC&ndash ca 5200 BC . The finds from this period are characterised by long flintstone flakes which were used for making the characteristic rhombic arrowheads, scrapers, drills, awls and toothed blades. The Erteb lle culture ca 5300 BC 3950 BC is the name of a hunter gatherer and fisher culture dating to the end of the Mesolithic period.

This hypothesis developed in 19th century scholarship and taken up by 1970s second wave feminism following Marija Gimbutas . Eller, a professor of Women s Studies and Religious Studies at Montclair State University , argues in the book that this theory is mistaken and its continued defence as harmful to the feminist agenda. Eller sets out to debunk what she describes as feminist matriarchism as an ennobling lie . ref quoting Kwame Anthony Appiah , The real political question ... as old as political philosophy ... is when we should endorse the ennobling lie. ref She argues that the feminist archaeology of Marija Gimbutas had a large part in constructing a myth of historical matriarchy by examining Eastern Europe cultures that she asserts, by and large, never really bore any resemblance in character to the alleged universal matriarchal suggested by Gimbutas or Robert Graves Graves . She asserts that in actually documented primitive societies of recent historical times, paternity is never ignored and that the sacred status of goddesses does not automatically increase female social status, and believes that this affirms that utopian matriarchy is simply an inversion of antifeminism .
