There were some 20 similar sites on the island. What evidence do you have that these people suddenly became extinct?
Just because there is an archaeological missing link for about 1000 years just means we have not unearthed the evidence yet . . . . or have failed to recognise it.
It's more likely we have not found the remains of cultures for that 1000 year period than that a whole group of people became extinct when they were so well developed in farming etc. . . . and then replaced by a second group of people.
Even then, the second group of people would still have been native for thousands of years . . . . that is significant.
