Colonisation of the Mariana Islands: New Evidence and Implications for Human Movements V 479
1 New evidence and implications ' for human movements in the Western Pacific John L. Craib Archaeologist Introduction Within the last five years, archaeological investigations on Saipan, ?inian and Guam has changed our understanding of the early period of human occupation in the Mariana Islands (Figure l). This work has not only extended the antiquity of human presence in these islands, it has provided a more detailed sample of the cultural assemblage asso- ciated with this early settlement. While increasing our knowledge of the prehistory of the Marianas, these new data, at the same time, offer important implications for human movement in the western Pacific. This paper provides a brief overview of recent fin- dings and discusses possible origins of the founding population in the Marianas and the implications this has for general movement within the western Pacific. Early sites in the Mariana Islands Two sites on Saipan, Chalan Piao and Achugao, are now dated to between 3000- 3600 cal BP; the calibrated age range at Unai Chulu, on Tinian, straddles 3000 BP. The assemblage recovered from these three sites include finely made pottery, much of it red- 478 V Le Pacifique de 5000 A 2000 avant le present /The Pacific from 5000 to 2000 BP I Figure 1 Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific.

Super Typhoon Yutu Relief & Recovery Update #4 POST-DECLARATION DAMAGE ASSESSMENT COMPLETED; RELIEF MANPOWER ON-ISLAND READY TO SUPPORT; FEEDER 1, PARTIAL 1 & 2 BACK ONLINE Release Date: October 29, 2018 On Sunday, October 28, 2018, CNMI Leadership and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a Post-Declaration Damage Assessment. Saipan, Tinian and Rota experienced very heavy rainfall and extremely high winds which caused damages to homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Utility infrastructure on all three islands has been visibly severely impacted to include downed power lines, transformers and poles. Driving conditions remain hazardous as debris removal operations are still underway. At the request of Governor Ralph DLG. Torres, representatives from FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) and the US Small Business Administration (SBA) joined the CNMI on an Aerial Preliminary Damage Assessment of Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Findings are as follows: SAIPAN: 317 Major; 462 Destroyed (T=779) Villages covered: Kagman 1, 2 & 3 and LauLau, Susupe, Chalan Kanoa, San Antonio, Koblerville, Dandan and San Vicente Power outage across the island 2-mile-long gas lines observed Extensive damage to critical infrastructure in southern Saipan Downed power poles and lines Page 1 of 8 Page printed at fema.gov/ja/press-release/20201016/super-typhoon-yutu-relief-recovery-update-4-post-declaration- 09/28/2021 damage TINIAN: 113 Major; 70 Destroyed (T=183) Villages covered: San Jose & House of Taga, Carolinas, Marpo Valley and Marpo Heights Power outage across the island; estimated to take 3 months to achieve 50% restoration Tinian Health Center sustained extensive damage Observed a downed communications tower ROTA: 38 Major; 13 Destroyed (T=51) Villages covered: Songsong Village and Sinapalo Power outage across the island Sustained the least amount of damage as compared to Saipan and Tinian Red Cross CNMI-wide assessments begin Tuesday, October 30, 2018. -

In accordance with Regulation 20 of the Pacific Games Council Charter, NMASA offers the following information: Bid to Host the 2017 Pacific Mini Games: Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands 3 I. GENERAL BACKGROUND The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is compromised of 14 lovely islands in northern Micronesia. On our three main islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, one experiences the unhurried, friendly lifestyle and warm, island hospitality that are as unforgettable as our magical Micronesian sunsets. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands, as of January 1, 2011, is estimated at 50,000. Saipan, our largest island and the proposed site for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games, is the most developed of the Northern Marianas, and is home to most of our population. Saipan offers the visiting athlete an inviting combination of modern amenities, such as a thriving tourism district with world-class hotels, restaurants, and shops, and the beauty of a clean and quiet tropical island. Almost all major venues, including proposed Games villages, sports venues, and leisure sites, are located within a short walk or drive. -
