Description

The Ritidian Site in Guam contains multiple layers and components that together reveal the full scope of traditional cultural heritage in the Mariana Islands in the northwest tropical Pacific since 1500 B.C., dating from the beginning of human settlement of the Remote Pacific Islands. The material records of changing artefacts, sites, and landscapes here have been incorporated into a cohesive narrative in chronological order, mirroring the experience of visiting a museum to learn about the profound heritage of this special site and its larger research contributions. The primary data findings are presented as a translation or visitor’s guide of encountering a complex, multi-layered, and multi-vocal past.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Life, Lore, and Landscape of a Stirring PlaceChapter 2 Natural SettingChapter 3 Cultural TraditionsChapter 4 Written HistoryChapter 5 De-coding the Archaeological RecordsChapter 6 Ritidian at 1500–1100 B.C.Chapter 7 Ritidian at 1100–700 B.C.Chapter 8 Ritidian at 700 B.C. –A.D. 1Chapter 9 Ritidian at A.D. 1–500Chapter 10 Ritidian at A.D. 500–1000Chapter 11 Ritidian at A.D. 1000–1700Chapter 12 Living LegacyReferences
