This project includes archaeological data about the archaeological record of Rota Island, in the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia. Rota is located close to the better known and larger island of Guam.

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Francis McManamon

Beneath the surface in Songsong village, on the island of Rota, in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, archeological deposits hold artifacts, features, and other ancient remains that record the long occupation of the village. Three areas were excavated during the Songsong archeological project in the summer of 1987 each with deposits relating to three different prehistoric time periods. The archeological remains found in four of the five excavation blocks recovered prehistoric pottery,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "A Decade of DPAA: Challenges and Opportunities to the Accounting Mission", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In November 1943, more than 1,000 U.S. Marines and sailors died wresting control of Tarawa Atoll from a Japanese garrison approximately 3,000 strong. After the battle, the Marines buried most of their dead in a series of cemeteries and small burials scattered across the island of Betio, where the assault...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The 2023 NOAA Saipan project included a significant public outreach component. A major part of the grant focused on re-visiting sites included in the WWII Battle of Saipan Maritime Heritage Trail to conduct monitoring and update site plans. Since these sites first were documented to create the Trail in 2008,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Recently East Carolina University and the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management launched a four-year collaborative project to better understand the types and locations of significant maritime archaeological and cultural heritage resources in the Mariana Islands. The term “resource” represents the total sum of tangible and...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Exploration-Forward Archaeology Through Community-Driven Research", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. While shallow-water World War II underwater cultural heritage (UCH) related to the Battle of Saipan has been researched extensively, there is little known about deep-water UCH from the battle. During Ships of Discovery’s 2023 NOAA Saipan project, numerous methods were used for the location and identification of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "From Whalers to World War II: Guam Underwater Archaeology", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2019, divers performed an initial assessment of a wooden-hulled shipwreck located during remote sensing operations in Apra Harbor, Guam. Historical research into the area suggested the site might represent the remains of the whaleship Asia, lost at Guam in 1856. Identified as a potentially significant historic site,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "The Intersection Between Natural and Cultural Heritage and the Pressing Threats to Both", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Spread across the Blue Pacific are more than 3,800 shipwrecks resulting from WWII and the nuclear testing programs across the region. Containing significant quantities of petrochemicals and ordnance, over the past 75+ years, these potentially polluting wrecks (PPWs) have deteriorated, with...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "A Decade of DPAA: Challenges and Opportunities to the Accounting Mission", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. One of the darkest, and less known tragedies in American history is the 15 December 1944 attack and sinking of Oryoku Maru. The Japanese passenger liner, turned military auxiliary transport ship, was used during the Japanese evacuation of the Philippines in World War II to relocate 1,619 U.S. and Allied...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On 13 November 1942, a violent explosion engulfed USS Juneau (CL-52) and the ship seemed to vanish from sight. Catastrophically hit by torpedoes from Japanese submarine I-26, the ship sank in less than a minute with most of its 693 crewmen onboard. About 115 Sailors survived the sinking, but only 14 were rescued after days at sea....

This is an abstract from the session entitled "A Decade of DPAA: Challenges and Opportunities to the Accounting Mission", at the 2025 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During World War II, an estimated 27,000 American service members went missing from water contexts in the Pacific theater, from ship sinkings and aircraft losses. Immediately after the war, these were only rarely pursued due to technological limitations. Today, the pursuit of underwater losses is one of...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Although Equator was built as a two-masted schooner in 1888, it was significantly altered throughout its long career. In 1897, Equator was sold and converted to a steam tender: boilers and a steam engine were installed, the transom was rebuilt, and a new deckhouse was added with a pilot house and funnel atop. In 1915, a new engine...
