Dryland Swale Farming and Long-term Land Use in Upland Kula, Maui, Hawaiʻi
Subsurface excavations, paleoenvironmental sampling, and Bayesian modeling clarify upland field development in Kula, Maui. We report 26 radiocarbon determinations from 13 agricultural and two ritual feature complexes associated with swale terraces, enclosure walls, and water channels. We model five architectural phases: Preconstruction, Primary Construction, Secondary Modification, Enclosure Works, and Post-European Reuse. Preconstruction land us…
Archaeological research at the Early Pre-Latte Period site of San Roque on Saipan (ca. 1500–1100 BC)
The first Austronesian settlers at the site of San Roque in Saipan and the southern Mariana Islands began arriving sometime after 1500 BC in what is called the Early Pre-Latte Period. A comparison of San Roque to contemporaneous island sites reveals differences in cooking and habitation features, ceramic vessels and decorative styles, marine shell tools and ornaments, and settlement patterns that were apparent within and between islands and sites…

The Social and Ecological Trajectory of Prehistoric Cambodian Earthworks
This article moves discussion of prehistoric earthworks in Cambodia from normative archaeology into an ecological landscape structure, based on archaeological data sets. Discussions provide a synthesis of archaeological and newly borne-out ecological explanations for original site construction, occupation, landscape use, sustainability of occupation for the earthwork culture over a 2000-year period and terminal use of the sites. A model is presen…
A Brief Study of Cambodian Circular Earthwork Ceramics as
Prehistoric circular earthwork sites occurring across the basaltic plateau of eastern Cambodia/western Vietnam are internally homogenous in terms of site characteristics and material record. Energy Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of several earthwork ceramic assemblage samples was studied in efforts to identify if ceramic production centers could be recognized within the circular site grouping. The EDXRF study provides an additiona…
