Uattamdi and Kayoa pottery networks

Uattamdi and Kayoa pottery networks

The excavation chapter identifies a pottery-bearing sequence on Kayoa whose chronology differs from much older sites elsewhere in the region. The ceramic chapter compares forms, surfaces and decoration rather than identifying an immutable maker population.

Island settlement and ceramic context Approximately 3350–2500 calibrated years ago and later phases; wider Moluccan deep time distinguished Rockshelter excavation, radiocarbon modeling and comparative pottery studies Ternate, North Maluku: approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound, underwater or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, ritual or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Paisajes insulares, trabajo y conexiones cambiantes

Paisajes insulares y conexiones regionales

Northern Moluccas is a modern orientation frame for the named context and connected places, not an ancient territorial, ethnic, language, religious, sovereignty or maritime-rights boundary.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Household practices and island exchanges do not establish one Moluccan state. Uattamdi's dated sequence is not the entire 40,000-year Moluccan record; pottery similarities do not prove one migration, homogeneous Austronesian identity or an exact voyage.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage or religious institutions retain their own authority. This atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, religion, recognition or membership. Uattamdi's dated sequence is not the entire 40,000-year Moluccan record; pottery similarities do not prove one migration, homogeneous Austronesian identity or an exact voyage. Events after 1500 CE are separately identified as later outcomes, research, conservation or reception.

A particular rockshelter sequence The excavation chapter identifies a pottery-bearing sequence on Kayoa whose chronology differs from much older sites elsewhere in the region.

Regional variation remains The synthesis combines several island records with different time depths and does not transfer every regional date to Uattamdi.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. Early pottery-bearing phases

    The excavation report models the site's early ceramic sequence; uncertainties remain attached to samples and layers.

    [S1]

  2. Objects and practices changed

    Later decorated pottery and metal-associated evidence belong to distinct contexts rather than one unchanged assemblage.

    [S2]

  3. Fieldwork developed

    Excavation programs investigated rockshelters and neighboring island contexts.

    [S1]

  4. Regional volume published

    Excavation, ceramic analysis and synthesis were published as different contributions within one research volume.
