The main result of this paper is that every non-trivial Hamiltonian dieomor- phism of a closed oriented surface of genus at least one has periodic points of arbitrarily high period. The same result is true for S 2 provided the dif- feomorphism has at least three xed points. In addition we show that up to isotopy relative to its xed point set, every orientation preserving dieomor- phism F : S! S of a closed orientable surface has a normal form. If the xed point set is nite this is just the Thurston normal form.
