  • The Chronology of Mountain SETTLEMENTS on Tutuila, American Samoa
    THE CHRONOLOGY OF MOUNTAIN SETTLEMENTS ON TUTUILA, AMERICAN SAMOA FREDERIC B. PEARL Texas A&M University at Galveston Shortly after Christian missionaries arrived, the population of Samoa was overwhelmingly concentrated along the coast. Synthesising information from a variety of previously published sources, Watters (1958) estimated that 96 percent of the population of lived within a mile of the sea; the remaining 4 percent lived in isolated inland settlements or in one of just a few known inland villages. Before 1840, however, there were numerous mountain ridgetop settlements, which on the basis of oral traditions were thought to be refuge sites (Davidson 1969, Smith 1899). These sites are often attributed by Samoans to a legendary period of warfare with the Tongans that is said to date between about the 10th and 13th centuries A.D. (Henry 1980, Smith 1899, Stuebel 1896). Archaeologists have since investigated fortified inland and mountain ridgetop sites, and they too have suggested that they possibly fall within this period in time (Best 1992, 1993, Buist 1967, Frost 1978), some even while simultaneously challenging the use of oral tradition to explain the sites (Best 1992). Both Clark (1996) and Green (2002a, 2002b) have noted that the timing of the appearance of Samoan fortifications is uncertain and that their relationship to unfortified aspects of Samoan settlement patterns remains unknown. No independent data has come forth to test the basic hypothesis that mountain residential sites were occupied by Samoans because of internecine warfare, or especially, Tongan occupation of coastal sites. A first step in evaluating these claims would be to establish an authoritative chronology of the mountain settlements, thus confirming whether or not the sites were occupied during the proposed time period.

  • A Brief Timeline of the History of American Samoa: 20Th Century Through the 21St Century
    A Brief Timeline of the History of American Samoa: 20th Century through the 21st Century 1900 1 February 2 – The United States Navy appointed Commander B.F. Tilley to be the first Governor of American Samoa. The population of Tutuila was approximately 7,000. (O Commander B.F. Tilley le ulua’i Kovana Sili na filifilia e le Fua a le Iunaite Setete e pulea le Malo o Amerika Samoa. O le aofa’iga o tagata sa nonofo i Tutuila e latalata i le 7,000.) April 2 – Signing of the Tutuila Deed of Cession, which was an indication that the chiefs of Tutuila and Aunu’u enthusiastically ceded their islands to the United States. Local chiefs who signed the Deed were; PC Mauga of Pago Pago, PC Le’iato of Fagaitua, PC Faumuina of Aunuu, HTC Pele of Laulii, HTC Masaniai of Vatia, HC Tupuola of Fagasa, HC Soliai of Nuuuli, PC Mauga (2) of Pago Pago, PC Tuitele of Leone, HC Faiivae of Leone, PC Letuli of Ili’ili, PC Fuimaono of Aoloau, PC Satele of Vailoa, HTC Leoso of Leone, HTC Olo of Leone, Namoa of Malaeloa, Malota of Malaeloa, HC Tuana’itau of Pava’ia’i, HC Lualemana of Asu, and HC Amituana’i of Itu’au. (O le sainia ma le tu’ualoa’ia atu o motu o Tutuila ma Aunu’u i lalo o le va’aiga ma le pulega a le Malo o le Iunaite Setete o Amerika.) April 2 – The Marist Brothers opened the first private school in Leone. The funds were from a fundraiser by the Western District and the Marist Brothers were politely asked by the chiefs of the district to administer the school and they agreed.

  • Elemental and Technological Analyses of Basalt Adze
    ELEMENTAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSES OF BASALT ADZE MANUFACTURE ON TUTUILA, AMERIKA SAMOA: ECONOMIC INTENSIFICATION AND SPECIALIZATION DURING THE MONUMENT BUILDING PERIOD A Dissertation by PHILLIP RAY JOHNSON II Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Suzanne Eckert Committee Members, William D. James Michael R. Waters Ted Goebel Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2013 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2013 Phillip Ray Johnson II ABSTRACT This dissertation research presents the elemental and technological analyses of basalt adze quarries from the Samoan Island of Tutuila. Both Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) were utilized in the chemical characterization of basalt samples and artifacts. Elemental concentration data derived from both INAA and EDXRF successfully differentiated between multiple Tutuilan basalt adze quarries, and these data were utilized to determine the most efficacious elemental analysis technique for Tutuilan basalt adze provenance study. Elemental concentration data from the Lau’agae quarry were utilized with technological attribute analysis of artifacts recovered from that archaeological site to investigate the potential for economic specialization in the manufacture of basalt adzes. Analysis of both the technological attribute data and the elemental concentration data provided evidence for potential specialization at the Lau’agae quarry. When these data were compared to similar data from other Polynesian archaeological sites it further supported the potential for specialized production at Lau’agae. Ultimately, it was determined that multiple skilled producers created various types of basalt adzes at Lau’agae with the intent to export and exchange their products.
