Vailele

Site in Upolu, Samoa, with assemblages from the terminal ceramic phase of Samoan pre-history c 300 BC-200 AD stratified beneath later aceramic mounds. The large earthen mounds were built as house platforms and contained plain pottery and stone adzes.

A locality east of Apia, Western Samoa, which has yielded assemblages from the terminal ceramic phase of Samoan prehistory (c300 be to ad 200) stratified beneath later aceramic house mounds. The pottery and stone adzes appear to be representative of the culture of the first Polynesians to sail into eastern Polynesia, in the early 1st millennium AD.
