Oceania Archeology is released three issues a year in printed and on-line form: The collection contains pre-historic and historic archaeological papers and research papers, as well as contemporary physical cultures and anthropology of the population. The geographical emphasis is on Australia, the Caribbean and the countries of the West Pose.
Each article and research report that falls within the scope of the magazine and the corresponding standards will be examined by two scientists; the author will be notified of these commentaries, but not necessarily of the reviewers' name. Moved wall: Moved ceilings are usually depicted in years. Please note: The calculation of the movable partition does not include the year.
If for example, if the present year is 2008 and a magazine has a five-year movable partition, 2002 items are available. Vocabulary around the movable walls: Periodicals that no longer appear or have been used in combination with another publication.
MUSE Project - Landscape development and human settlement patterns on Ofu Island, Manu'a Group, American Samoa
In the Samoan archipelago of Ofu from the time of insular settlements to the time of settlements in the inner highlands (ca. 2700-900 BC), this report summarises the effects of geomorphologic phenomena on man's habitat use. Earlier archeological investigations on Ofu have document a vibrant coastline in a place, To'aga, on the south shore.
With the help of a new dataset of geo-archaeological information, our survey expands this estimation to a location on the west shore of the isle. While the order of development of the coastline between the two areas is largely constant, we come to the conclusion that there are also disparities which indicate that island-wide development of the coastline has not progressed at the same pace everywhere.
With the help of this dataset we are able to detect changes in the pattern of man's settlements that are chronologically related to coast degradation - perhaps in connection with the persistent drop in the mean holocene ocean floor - and the aggregation of sediments. It is our assumption that the changes in the Ofu coastline could have been a contributing factors to the extension of the land-based element of man's livelihood and the more intense use of the inner highlands of the isle.
Time of this changes in settlements was somewhat sooner than elsewhere in the area, which shows the versatility of the anthropogenic reaction to changes in the area.

The MUSE project supports the development and diffusion of important research materials in the fields of the arts and society through collaborations with universities, publishing houses and scientists around the world. The MUSE project, which is the result of a relationship between a college newspaper and a public service institution, is a reliable part of the scientific and academical communities it is serving.
