Preliminary Results of the South Vanuatu Archaeological Survey: Cultural Landscapes, Excavation, and Radiocarbon Dating

Abstract

South Vanuatu was an important hub of settlement and interaction in the tropical southwestern Pacific.A recent field project, the South Vanuatu Archaeological Survey, has begun carrying out field research, focusing initially on the islands of Futuna, Aniwa, and Tanna.This work builds upon pioneering research carried out in the 1960s, which in these islands has not been followed up until the last five years or so.We present initial findings from survey and test excavations carried out in 2016, including new radiocarbon dates for the region and the discovery of pottery on Tanna.
