Description
The book chapter focuses on the analysis of five complete pots and a pot stand associated with mortuary practices at the Teouma cemetery and midden dumping deposits in Central Vanuatu. The study aims to provide a detailed profile of Lapita vessel forms and decorative motifs, which were previously lacking in this region. The dimensions, adhesive application, and base characteristics of the pots are discussed, along with the potential for wider comparisons with more complete collections in the future.
