  • Micronesica 38(1):93–120, 2005
    Micronesica 38(1):93–120, 2005 Archaeological Evidence of a Prehistoric Farming Technique on Guam DARLENE R. MOORE Micronesian Archaeological Research Services P.O. Box 22303, GMF, Guam, 96921 Abstract—On Guam, few archaeological sites with possible agricultural features have been described and little is known about prehistoric culti- vation practices. New information about possible upland planting techniques during the Latte Phase (c. A.D. 1000–1521) of Guam’s Prehistoric Period, which began c. 3,500 years ago, is presented here. Site M201, located in the Manenggon Hills area of Guam’s interior, con- tained three pit features, two that yielded large pieces of coconut shell, bits of introduced calcareous rock, and several large thorns from the roots of yam (Dioscorea) plants. A sample of the coconut shell recovered from one of the pits yielded a calibrated (2 sigma) radiocarbon date with a range of A.D. 986–1210, indicating that the pits were dug during the early Latte Phase. Archaeological evidence and historic literature relat- ing to planting, harvesting, and cooking of roots and tubers on Guam suggest that some of the planting methods used in historic to recent times had been used at Site M201 near the beginning of the Latte Phase, about 1000 years ago. I argue that Site M201 was situated within an inland root/tuber agricultural zone. Introduction The completion of numerous archaeological projects on Guam in recent years has greatly increased our knowledge of the number and types of prehis- toric sites, yet few of these can be considered agricultural. Descriptions of agricultural terraces, planting pits, irrigation canals, or other agricultural earth works are generally absent from archaeological site reports, although it has been proposed that some of the piled rock alignments in northern Guam could be field boundaries (Liston 1996).

This project was carried out in partnership with the Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet by a team of four primary personnel (Table 1). The collected data are being used to reveal the occurrence and distribution, stock structure, and movements of cetaceans within the study area.

  • The Use of Tinian Island During World War II OUTLINE
    The Use of Tinian Island During World War II OUTLINE • Background • Assault on Tinian Island • Seabee Construction and North Field • Tinian and the Atomic Bombs • Tinian Today Background • Tinian and Saipan Islands had been Japanese stronghold since the end of WW I • Ability to reach Japan with long-range B-29 bombers • Saipan was attacked on 15 June 1944 and captured by mid-August 1944 Background Assault on Tinian "An Amtrac loaded with Marines, churns through the sea bound for beaches of Tinian Island" July 1944. Two tiny landing beaches, White 1 and White 2, were used at Tinian to land two entire divisions. Each beach was slightly less than 200 feet wide! One of 10 “doodlebug” landing ramps built by the Seabees mounted on an Amtrac The SeaBees fashioned these ramps from scrap steel taken out of a Japanese Sugar Mill on Saipan. They allowed Marine Amtracs to scale the 8-foot high cliffs along the White Beach landing zone The Americans employed a deception landing off the coast of Tinian Town, holding Japanese forces there while the main landings occurred at White Beaches on the northwest side of Tinian. The deception force then proceeded north and landed at White Beach. Construction of the World’s Largest Air Bases on Tinian Four 8,500 foot runways were eventually constructed by the SeaBees at North Field on Tinian, in addition to two similar runways constructed at West Feld, a few miles southwest. The four runways at North Field on Tinian comprised the largest single airport in world in mid-summer 1945.
