在萨摩亚独立国东南海岸阿莱帕塔最近的实地调查工作中，通过激光雷达引导的地面调查发现了几个新的考古特征。该调查证实了激光雷达图像的证据，即从海岸到内陆几公里的密集居住区有广泛的排水系统。我们认为，在19世纪之前，当萨摩亚的政治组织首次被描述，渠道的程度和相互连接性表明，一个更大的人口，更密集的劳动力和农业生产资源的组织，和一个更广泛的政治权威系统存在。
During recent field survey work in Aleipata on the southeast coast of the Independent State of Samoa several new archaeological features have been discovered by a LiDAR-guided ground survey. The survey confirmed evidence from LiDAR images of a dense habitation zone from the coast to several kilometres inland with an extensive drainage system. We suggest that prior to the nineteenth century, when Samoan political organisation was first described, the extent and interconnectivity of the channels suggest that a larger population, a more intensive organisation of labour and resources for agricultural production, and a more extensive system of political authority existed.
