| 簡介： |
Nan Madol was an administrative site on the high island of Pohnpei, in eastern Micronesia, from the 13th to 17th centuries. The site architecture is dominated by coral, columnar basalt, and boulders built on a shallow reef platform, and consists of 120 artificial islets covering an area of 83 hectares. Beginning in 1910, Nan Madol has been the subject of intense archaeological investigations initiated by Paul Hambruch, part of the German South Seas Expeditions. Since that time, the islets of the site have been surveyed and mapped, with this effort accompanied at various times by systematic studies on subsistence, material culture, oral histories, architecture, archaeometrics, ancient sociopolitical structures, economic interaction spheres, materials geochemical sourcing, and so on. At least 19 of the islets have been dated using standard radiocarbon dating techniques. And, in 2016 Nan Madol was inscribed onto the World Heritage List. Presented here are the results of two recent field seasons focused on a new high-precision dating method applied to the corals within the site architecture on a dozen of the islets. We describe the strategies behind the selection and archaeological collection and processing of the architectural coral, dating results, comparisons to traditional radiocarbon dates, and how the archaeological record of the site is both expanded and further refined by this additional data.
