  • Samoan Archaeology 2006
    Samoan Archaeology 2006 ' David J. Addison and Tautala S. Asaua 2 1 Samoan Studies Institute, American Samoa Community College 2 Centre for Samoan Studies, The National University of Samoa This issue of the Journal of Samoan Studies brings together selected papers from two recent sessions on Samoan archaeology: at the Oceanic Explorations Conference held in Tonga in August 2005; and at the 18th Congress of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association held in March 2006 in Manila. The authors address a richly diverse set of archaeological topics ranging from community outreach and the use of oral history to more traditional site reports and technical analyses. Geographically the papers are equally diverse, covering all of Samoa from Manu'a to Savai'i. Sand's paper exemplifies the advantages of utilizing oral traditions in archaeology. In addition to incorporating archaeological and linguistic evidence, the long-standing yet often neglected relationship of Samoa with 'Uvea and Futuna is a dominant focus in this paper. The impacts of colonialism during prehistoric and historic times is well documented in oral traditions and is dissected by Sand to reveal the depth of the relationship between Samoa, 'Uvea and Futuna. An exciting aspect of this paper is its demonstration that archaeological and traditional knowledge need not be in conflict, but can complement each other. The archaeological evidence from 'Uvea and Futuna also shows similarities to Samoa, and in turn will hopefully encourage more work in furthering our understanding of all three island groups prehistoric relationship, in relation to the wider Fiji-West Polynesia region. Morrison's paper indicates the value of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for predictive modelling of possible archaeological site locations.

KIRCH OGER CURTIS GREEN, A TOWERING FIGURE in Pacific anthro- Rpology, passed away in his beloved home in Titirangi nestled in the hills overlooking Auckland on October 4, 2009, at the age of 77 years. Roger was one of the most influential archaeologists and historical anthropologists of Oceania in the second half of the 20th century. He revolutionized the field of Polynesian archaeology through his application of the settlement pattern approach. He conducted significant field research in New Zealand, French Polynesia, Samoa, Hawai‘i, the Solomon Islands, and the Bismarck Archipelago, advancing our knowledge of prehistory across the Pacific. His collaborations with historical linguists provided a firm foundation for the use of language reconstructions in prehis- tory, and he helped to advance a phylogenetic approach to historical anthropology. The Lapita Cultural Complex, now widely appreciated as representing the initial human settle- ment of Remote Oceania, was first largely defined through his efforts. And, he leaves an enduring legacy in the many students he mentored. EARLY YEARS Roger’s parents, Eleanor Richards (b. 1908) and Robert Jefferson Green (b.

  • New Discoveries of Archaeological Sites with Polynesian Plainware Ceramics on Tutuila Island, American Samoa
    New Discoveries of Archaeological Sites with Polynesian Plainware Ceramics on Tutuila Island, American Samoa Presented at the Samoa Conference III: Opportunities and challenges for a sustainable cultural and natural environment 25-29 August 2014 National University of Samoa, Apia, Samoa By Joel D. Klenck 1 and Epifania Suafo’a-Taua’i 2 Introduction Archaeologists from the American Samoa Historic Preservation Office (“ASHPO”) and American Samoa Power Authority (“ASPA”) excavated and analysed cultural assemblages from three sites: Maloata, Fagamalo, and Leone, on Tutuila Island, in American Samoa. All sites were excavated to comply with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (“NHPA”), as amended. The Act requires all federally funded projects to record and mitigate damage to historic sites, usually greater than fifty (50) years of age. The ASPA Archaeology Department (“AAD”) and ASHPO also requires construction crews to follow the American Samoa Coastal Management Act of 1990 (“ASCMA”) and adhere to the provisions of the Samoan Project Notification and Review System (“PNRS”), which further protects historic sites. 1 Principal Investigator, Senior Advisor, President, PRC, Inc.

Box 2175, Leone Village, Pago Pago, American Samoa; Telephone: (684) 699-2316. To fulfil the requirements of the NHPA, archaeologists completed Phase I, II, and III mitigation activities at Maloata, Fagamalo, and Leone, sites on or near the western coastline of Tutuila Island. Archaeological methods at these locales comprised pedestrian surveys, mitigation of shovel-test pits, excavation of square-metre excavation units, and dry sieving using quarter- inch mesh screens.

  • The Making of the Māori Middle Ages J.D
    The Making of the Māori Middle Ages J.D. Stout Lecture 2016 ATHOLL ANDERSON Literary and scientific narratives are often constructed in three parts, of which the task of the middle section is to make the beginning and the end satisfactorily consistent with each other. In this lecture I discuss some ideas about how that might be accomplished in relation to a middle or transitional phase of Māori archaeology, which I will take as dating about AD 1450- 1650. Some of you might wonder whether this has not been done satisfactorily already, but I assure you that it has not. In fact, just as Medieval Europe was once seen as a dark age between the Classical era and its Renaissance, so the middle phase in Māori archaeology remains a shadowland between highlights of Polynesian colonisation and classic Māori culture. This is a legacy of scholarly thought about pre-European New Zealand in which, for more than a century, no middle period or transitional phase was recognized at all. Differences between archaeological remains that seemed early, notably butchered moa bones and flaked stone tools, and those that seemed late, such as gardens, forts and nephrite ornaments, were ascribed to the quite sudden replacement of one immigrant population by another; no transition was needed. Even when archaeology became an academic discipline with the appointment of Jack Golson to Auckland University in 1954, the population replacement model of culture change in New Zealand was not entirely discarded. Golson proposed that between his early or Archaic East Polynesian phase and his late or Classic Māori phase, there should be an intermediate or transitional phase which he called “proto-Māori.” But as he was unable to define it he proposed an alternative model in which Classic Māori material culture reflected late cultural replacement by an alien tradition.1 In the event, archaeologists preferred the notion of transition but could do no better with it.
