| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Micronesia region is an area where megalithic culture was prosperous even from a global perspective. The research conducted in an effort to understand the processes of the formation of megalithic culture and social complex in Micronesia.
To achieve the research purpose, excavation surveys were conducted mainly at Haputo and Aga Tongan sites, two sites dated approximately the same but characteristically different environments. Latte stones at both sites were found to be dated not A.D. 1000 but A.D. 1270 and later. Furthermore, there was a discontinuation between the Pre-latte and Latte periods. The increase in numbers of Latte Phase features, temporal changes of excavated food shells, and excavated pottery and stone tools, indicate the population increases, interaction of people between varying regions, and formation of megalithic culture.
