  • Descrição: Jeff Clark's archaeological research on Eastern Tutuila Island provided the first regional scale settlement pattern data in American Samoa that could be meaningfully compared to earlier data drawn from projects on the archipelago's western islands, Savai'i and 'Upolu. Building on Clark's work, in this paper we generate a spatial and temporal geodatabase incorporating 900 archaeological sites and 520 age estimates spanning the entirety of the Sāmoan Islands. The Samoa Archaeological Geospatial Database is useful for addressing a number of regional research questions using spatial and temporal data at multiple geographic scales; however, preliminary work must first be conducted to covert "site" data into comparable lower-scale analytical units. To highlight this process, we provide an example drawn from Clark's archaeological surveys in 'Aoa Valley, Tutuila Island. Finally, we suggest that a "siteless" survey approach is necessary to generate comparable data for settlement pattern and landscape analyses.
