Pulemelei and Savaiʻi settlement landscapes

Pulemelei and Palauli regional context, Savaiʻi

The mound belongs to a wider landscape of platforms and settlement. Excavation and geophysics study construction while research history exposes the limits of monument-centered accounts.

Archaeological settlement and landscape context Approximately 1100-1500 CE for monumental development; earlier settlement background Excavated construction phases, radiocarbon chronology, geophysical survey, settlement mapping, and later cultural accounts. Pulemelei and Palauli regional context, Savaiʻi; approximate archaeological or regional orientation point only, never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, trade-route, sovereignty, or modern national boundary. Not an excavation coordinate or permission to enter sacred or private places.
Resumo

Ilhas, lares e mundos oceânicos ligados

Ambientes insulares, costeiros e oceânicos

Pulemelei is a place in Palauli on Savaiʻi, not an archaeological boundary around all Samoan communities.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Collective labor and hierarchical organization are research questions supported by construction evidence. Exact offices, worker identities, and obligations are not fully recoverable.

Transformação posterior, património vivo e recepção moderna

Modern Samoan heritage work joins research with education, memory, and land-tenure questions. Present communities are not reduced to a prehistoric typology.

Scale of evidence Mound plus surrounding structures

The excavation project investigated adjacent remains rather than an isolated pyramid.

Sequência histórica

Uma cronologia breve e documentada

Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.

  1. Earlier activity distinguished

    The published sequence treats settlement history as older than the main monumental construction.

    [S2]

  2. Monumental building

    Construction belongs to a developing settlement landscape, not a precisely known single event.

    [S2]

  3. Excavation and survey

    Research examined the mound and neighboring structures with archaeological and geophysical methods.

    [S1]

  4. Heritage synthesis

    The monograph placed excavation alongside contemporary education, tenure, and memory.
