Scale, Nature, and Timing of Agricultural Adaptations in Upland Kaʻū
Substantial changes in political and land organization occurred in Hawaiʻi in the last 200 years before European arrival. These changes are thought to have affected land access and management, with areas nearer centers of power being more heavily influenced. Less is known about the effects of these changes on outlying areas and those areas with substantial environmental diversity. We investigate this scenario here by examining remnants of the Kaʻ…
Lithic economies in upland Kaʻū
Assessing settlement diversity in Sāmoa
The structure of human settlement is impacted by, and impacts notions of, territoriality and cooperation. These social dynamics intersect with environmental variability to produce patterns in the archaeological record. Given the substantial environmental variation that exists within individual archipelagos, we should expect variation in human settlement structure at that scale of analysis, with important implications for the political and social …
Scottish Reformers and ʻIli ʻĀina Dissolution in Mid-19th Century Hawaiʻi
ʻIli ʻāina – the institutional and spatial expression of a common Polynesian social organization designed to manage land tenures efficiently – were systematically dissolved in the mid 19th century as the Hawaiian Kingdom struggled to develop revenue during a population decline and to ward off foreign governments that desired fee-simple title to Hawaiian lands. The King and chiefs responded to these challenges by studying the economic logic of Wes…

Evaluating Mask R‐CNN models to extract terracing across oceanic high islands: A case study from Sāmoa
Lidar datasets have been crucial for documenting the scale and nature of human ecosystem engineering and land use. Automated analysis methods, which have been rising in popularity and efficiency, allow for systematic evaluations of vast landscapes. Here, we use a Mask R‐CNN deep learning model to evaluate terracing—artificially flattened areas surrounded by steeper slopes—on islands in American Sāmoa. Mask R‐CNN is notable for its ability to simu…
Niche Construction and Long-Term Trajectories of Food Production
Niche construction theory has played a prominent role in archaeology during the last decade. However, the potential of niche construction in relation to agricultural development has received less attention. To this end, we bring together literature on the forms and sources of agronomic variability and use a series of examples to highlight the importance of reciprocal causation and ecological inheritance in trajectories of agricultural change. We …
Ideal distribution models and the tempo of agricultural development in a windward valley of Hawaiʻi
Across the Pacific, agricultural systems have used two main complementary cultivation regimes: irrigated farming of wet environments and rain-fed cropping of drylands. These strategies have different productive potential and labour needs, which has structured their temporal and spatial distributions. Although these approaches have been studied a great deal at a general level, there has been less work on the local use and significance of these str…
Agroforestry Distribution and Contributions in Ancient Hawaiian Agriculture
Agriculture is one of the most fundamental ways in which human societies interact with the environment. The form and function of agriculture have important socio-political implications in terms of yields, labor requirements, variability and resilience, and elite control. Hawai'i has been used as a model system for the discussion of coupled human and natural systems, and how the uneven distribution of agricultural opportunities has manifested in t…
Trace element and Pb isotope analyses highlight decentralized inter-island exchange in American Sāmoa (Polynesia)
Tracking Emergent Spatial and Social Patterns across Terraced Landscapes in Polynesia
Successful settlement on Polynesian islands required the alteration of environments, and such alteration produced extensive cultural landscapes. While some of the characteristics of these landscapes are well-established, what drives the spatial and temporal structure of these settlements is not clear across the entire region. Here, we present data on the nature and structure of settlement along one geological substrate in the interior of Ta‘ū Isl…
Materializations of variable power strategies and inequalities in Polynesia
Polynesian societies have long framed discussions of chiefdoms. Often, these discussions treat Polynesia as a relatively homogenous region. Despite this, substantial variability in political forms developed in the region that came to affect the structure and nature of archaeologically attested past communities. Here we use two case studies to highlight these patterns: the Manuʻa group in West Polynesia and Moʻorea Island in East Polynesia. We dem…
Colluvial slope agriculture in context: An extensive agricultural landscape along the slopes of Punalu‘u Valley, O‘ahu Island, Hawai‘i
Archaeological research on traditional Hawaiian agriculture has generally focused on two primary strategies: irrigated pondfield and intensive dryland cultivation. However, other cultivation strategies, such as colluvial slope agriculture, were practiced but have been less intensively studied and remain poorly understood. To begin to remedy this paucity of information, a joint education and research project between International Archaeological Re…
Assessing foraging variability on small islands in Manu‘a (American Samoa) during the first millennium BC
Small islands are important model systems for examining the role of people in shaping novel environments and modifying resources through time. Here we report on the vertebrate faunal assemblages recovered from two sites on Ofu and Olosega islands (American Samoa), which were occupied only a few centuries after the initial settlement of the islands. We assess forager decision‐making both locally and regionally as well as changing subsistence regim…
Community Relationships and Integration at a Small-Island Scale
Most pre-European polities in Polynesia were constituted by multiple interacting communities, some of which were centers while others were hinterlands. The relationship between these communities was mediated by the nature of power in these societies and the economic and ideological foundations of that power. Different relationships leave different material traces across landscapes. The identification of analytical communities in the archaeologica…
Tempo and Trajectory of the Built Landscape on Ta‘ū Island, Manu‘a Group, American Sāmoa: Integrating Extensive Radiocarbon Dating With Joint Posterior Modeling
Stone and earthen architecture is nearly ubiquitous in the archaeological record of Pacific islands. The construction of this architecture is tied to a range of socio-political processes, and the temporal patterning of these features is useful for understanding the rate at which populations grew, innovation occurred, and social inequality emerged. Unfortunately, this temporal patterning is poorly understood for many areas of the region, including…
An early (pre‐1500 BP) fishhook assemblage from Ofu and Olosega islands, Manu‘a Group, American Samoa: Implications for Technological Evolution and Cultural Interaction
Marine resources are integral to the subsistence of coastal populations in Oceania and have been since the islands were first settled. While items of fishing gear, most notably fishhooks, are found throughout the Pacific, they are not as common as one might think. Fishhooks are in fact noticeably uncommon in the Central Pacific, for example. Consequently, the various types of analyses of fishhook morphology, particularly the types of line attachm…

Historicizing Food Production in Polynesia: A Case Study of 2700 years of Land Use on Ofu Island, American Samoa
Strategies and techniques of food production change throughout the world reflecting the influence of a range of social and ecological factors. Often excluded in discussions of changing cultivation strategies, however, are the structuring effects of history. Within this paper, an examination of how history structured changing food production over the last 2700 years is presented using a case study of the island of Ofu in the archipelago of Samoa. …
Integrating Local and Regional in Pre-Contact Hawaiian Agriculture at Kahuku, Hawai‘i Island
The agricultural systems of the Hawaiian archipelago were some of the most intensive in the Pacific and this scale of intensity is well illustrated by the large agricultural landscapes of leeward Hawai‘i Island. Previous research in the area has centred on understanding the relationship between agriculture, political process, and large-scale environmental conditions. Much of this research has been oriented at the regional level, privileging discu…

The contributions of Jeffrey T. Clark to Sāmoan archaeology
The archaeology of Samoa, especially American Samoa, has seen significant gains in the past two decades. The foundation for these were laid by a number of individuals, but the contributions of Jeffrey Clark are of particular importance given his long-term focus on the region. He has conducted research on every island of American Samoa, one of few individuals to have done so. He also has been instrumental in maintaining a focus on settlement syste…
Exploring the intersection of settlement, subsistence and population in Manuʻa
The archaeology of Sā moa has been structured around the investigation of settlement patterns and systems since the 1960s, and such investigations have been variously used to explore questions of temporal change relating to, among other things, political structure and subsistence. This same intellectual structure is applied here to the evaluation of variation between the geographically close islands of Ofu and Olosega, extending previous approach…
In Surplus and in Scarcity: Agricultural Development, Risk Management, and Political Economy on ofu Island, American Samoa
Much attention has been paid to the role of increased food production in the development of social complexity. However, increased food production is only one kind of agricultural process, and some changes in agronomic practices were geared toward stabilizing production or counteracting periodic shortfalls. The intersection between these latter strategies and sociopolitical development are poorly understood, while the long-term value of risk manag…
The Efficacy and Analytical Importance of Manual Feature Extraction Using Lidar Datasets
The availability of lidar datasets has led to several advances in archaeology, notably in the process of site prospection. Some remote sensing practitioners have aimed to create automated feature extraction (AFE) techniques that increase the efficiency and efficacy of identification and analysis. While these advances have been successful, many archaeological professionals who might have an interest in lidar-derived products do not have the techni…

Terrestrial food production and land use in prehistoric Samoa: An example from Olosega Island, Manu'a, American Samoa
Samoan terrestrial production is vastly under researched archaeologically and few projects explicitly explore such a topic. This paper reports a food production system found in the interior of Olosega Island, one of three islands within the Manu'a group of American Samoa. This production system was part of a divided landscape, in which the residential was separated from the non‐residential. This division was created by a large ditch that cuts acr…

Between chaos and control: Spatial perception of domestic, political, and ritual organisation in prehistoric Samoa
The spatial layout of a late prehistoric settlement is examined using comparative analysis, ethnohistorical documents and GIS analysis. The spatial organisation of the settlement is similar to the spatial layout of ethnographically documented Samoan villages, which has been posited to mirror social and political interaction. Spatial concepts developed from analysis of those historic villages are argued to be apparent within this prehistoric settl…

Pre-Contact Samoan Cultivation Practices in Regional and Theoretical Perspective
Most pre-European Polynesian societies were supported by intensive and elaborate cultivation systems. These systems were at the core of human adaptation and political maneuvering, being intimately tied to both the physical and cultural environment. However, our understanding of the development of and variation within Polynesian cultivation systems has been restricted by a lack of knowledge and discussion of key archipelagoes. One such archipelago…
Historical ecology of Ofu Island revisited: New Data for an Island‐wide Model
Case studies offer an opportunity to examine and highlight relationships among variables in a way that cannot be done through broad comparison. Ofu Island has served as one such case study for understanding human–environment relationships. Here, we use three decades of archaeological investigations – past work of others as well as our own recent research – to formulate a revised model of the historical ecology of the island. We argue that Ofu sti…

Space and structure in Polynesia: Instantiated spatial logic in American Sāmoa
This study examines the intersections of spatial logic and archaeology in the Sāmoan Archipelago of Polynesia. These islands provide model systems for understanding social space given their small size and bounded nature. We argue that spatial logic, defined as group conceptualization of space or shared orientations, contributes to the patterning of archaeological remains in Sāmoa. The building of architectural structures and the cultural structur…
Colonisation and Late Period Faunal Assemblages from Ofu Island, American Samoa
The identification and analysis of 1583 bones from colonisation (~2700 cal BP) to late period (post-800 cal BP) cultural layers from archaeological site AS-13-41 on Ofu Island, American Samoa are reported. The assemblage is dominated by fish (~91 per cent; NISP = 1435, MNI = 162) with bones of human, Green Sea Turtle, sea birds (shearwaters and petrels) and a terrestrial bird (Buff-Banded Rail), as well as the commensals Pacific Rat, chicken (Red…
Landscape Evolution and Human Settlement Patterns on Ofu Island, Manu’a Group, American Samoa
This study summarizes the impacts of geomorphological processes on human settlement strategies on the island of Ofu in the Samoan Archipelago from island colonization to permanent settlement in the interior uplands (c. 2700–900 b.p. ). Previous archaeological research on Ofu has documented a dynamic coastal landscape at one location, To’aga, on the southern coast. Using a new geoarchaeological data set, our study extends this assessment to a site…
