Seems to me that the correlation you suggest (below) fits better with
the conclusion in the other recent bottle gourd study...
or what did you have in mind?

I was wondering if the Peruvians went West,
like Thor Heyerdahl thought,
would that be enough to get an Asian bottle gourd
back to Peru?

More likely that Peruvians brought bottle gourds to Easter Island
around the time of the Inca since the earliest New World ones likely
predate the settlement of Easter Island by thousands of years.
