Identification of Artifacts
The identification of the archaeological material from the Galápagos islands is naturally dependent on the state of knowledge of the mainland archaeology. It should therefore be remembered that the archaeology of certain areas on the coast of Ecuador and Peru is still very little known. Thus, for instance, the far north of Peru, with such principal aboriginal ports as Piura and Tumbez, is virtually unknown, and the situation is not very much bett…
Archaeological Sites in the Galápagos Group
The principal site discovered by the expedition is on the northwest coast of James Bay, Santiago Island. The local conditions for primitive settlement are conspiciously better in this bay than in any other coastal area visited by the expedition in the Galápagos. To a passing craft James Bay opens up wide and impressive, well sheltered by forest-clad mountains sufficiently withdrawn from the coast to leave space for a large and level plateau lifte…

Objectives of the Norwegian Archaeological Expedition to the Galápagos
The first scientific expedition to the Galápagos took place, as stated, when Malaspina made his brief call in 1790. In the 19th century a series of other and more important scientific expeditions followed, among them notably H.M.S. Beagle which arrived in 1835 with Charles Darwin as naturalist on board. Right up to the present time naturalists have been drawn to the Galápagos due to its unique fauna and flora, and biologically and geologically th…

Additional Archaeological Evidence from the Galápagos
In 1954, 2 years after our expedition to the Galápagos, the group was visited by J. C. Courier and C. Hall of the Walt Disney Galápagos Expedition, which made use of some of the local guides that had served in our expedition and were thus trained in the general search for surface archaeology. In a letter from Mr. Couffer (dated Dec. 18, 1954), he states that their expedition visited a tiny bight behind Cabo Colorado on the coast of Santa Cruz Isl…

History
A brief synopsis of post-Spanish activities in the Galapagos will here be included since the prehistory of the islands may be better appreciated against the background of known historic events. The group was visited for the first time by Europeans in 1535, when a ship carrying the Bishop of Panama, Tomás de Berlanga, was helplessly caught by the offshore current while sailing southwards along the mainland coast bound for Peru. In the area where E…
