Ateliers of Basalt. Basalt Industries of Tafuna (As‐31–150) and Pava'ia'i (As‐31–170), Tutuila Island, American Samoa
We examine two basalt industry sites, one at Tafuna and one at Pava'ia'i, located on a Holocene lava and pyroclastic plain, several kilometers from potential adze‐quality‐basalt quarries. Statistical analyses of flakes from two discrete ‘workshops’ are used to reconstruct the adze production process at each site. The results show that while the Pava'ia'i site was a production site for adzes, the Tafuna site was both a production and reproduction …
The Lapita Occupation at Naitabale, Moturiki Island, Central Fiji
In 2003 the authors discovered and excavated a Lapita site at Naitabale close to the southern end of Moturiki Island (central Fiji). Today the site is 350 m inland from the coast, but in Lapita times it was located behind the active beach ridge. A large collection of potsherds (including 92 dentate-stamped or incised Lapita sherds), shell, and animal bones was recovered, together with a human burial. Sherd decorations show affinities with the Wes…
Early Lapita settlement site at Bourewa, southwest Viti Levu Island, Fiji
A newly‐discovered Lapita settlement at Bourewa on southwest Viti Levu Island, Fiji, was established originally on an offshore island perhaps as much as 1220 BCE by people whose main concern was optimal access to the broad fringing reef. Satellite settlements were established at nearby Rove and Waikereira later in Lapita times. The three oldest radiocarbon dates obtained from the base of the tightly‐packed shell midden layer excavated at Bourewa …
