NB In the main section we have calculated Tools and Weapons in total, ie we have not worked out how many of them are double counted separately (there is often a double counting between these items because it is difficult to tell which is which) However we have also calculated the Tools and Weapons separately where the numbers both seem large (as with the Cook Islands)
Cook Islands:
Definite tools - 20
Definite weapons - 19
Tools or weapons - 8

Gambier Islands objects match the overall PRM collections up to 1945 in that tools are by far the largest category and indeed that stone tools are a large majority of all tools.

There are not very many objects from Kiribati accessioned before 1945 but what there are are clustered within four main types of objects, clothing, fishing, ornaments and beads and (by far the largest category) weapons.

An unusual result even for Oceania with Food related items and vessels being the most commonly accessioned objects from Palau (and a majority of those are food vessels!) along with ornaments

Weapons are again the largest single type of object, with ornaments (a first!) as a close second and tools (no surprise) at third. The PNG collections appear to be more well balanced between categories or types of things than other Oceanian collections
PNG
