Description

The paper titled "Is there an Incised Lapita Phase after Dentate-stamped Pottery Ends? Data from Teouma, Efate Island, Vanuatu" explores the transition from dentate-stamped to incised pottery during the Lapita period at the Teouma site. Through an analysis of 1856 diagnostic sherds, including 1048 incised and 378 dentate-stamped, the study investigates the coexistence of these ceramic styles during the Middle Lapita period. The findings challenge the traditional view of a linear replacement of dentate-stamped pottery by incised pottery, suggesting a more nuanced interaction of ceramic styles. The research highlights a decrease in dentate-stamped sherds from Layer II/1 to Layer I, proposing that some dentate components might be the result of secondary deposition. The study compares Teouma's ceramic assemblages with other Lapita sites, revealing that the transition patterns at Teouma may not reflect a universal trend. The authors note that the analysis is ongoing, and future data collection may refine the current understanding of the pottery styles and their cultural significance in Remote Oceania.
