Chili - Ile de Paques - Mission scientifique dirigee par l'archeologue italien Giuseppe Orefici : Au 17eme siecle, le culte de l’homme oiseau se retrouvait aussi dans l’habillement : les parures ceremonielles etaient confectionnees en plume d’oiseau. Mais la aussi, les ressources de l’ile etaient limitees : à la fin du 18eme siècle, les oiseaux migrateurs disparurent des ilots, provoquant progressivement une remise en cause du culte. Depuis que les ilots Motu Iti et Motu Nui ont été classes en 1990 comme reserve naturelle, les oiseaux et leur progenitures ont repris possession des lieux. // Chile - Easter Island - Scientific mission led by the Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Orefici: In the 17th century, the cult of the birdman was also found in clothing: ceremonial finery was made from bird feathers. But there too, the resources of the island were limited: at the end of the 18th century, migratory birds disappeared from the islets, gradually causing a questioning of the cult. Since the islets Motu Iti and Motu Nui were classified in 1990 as a nature reserve, the birds and their offspring have taken possession of the premises.
