Archaeological research of the prehistoric Haputo village site in Guam

除了1521年费迪南德·麦哲伦探险的参考文献和此后西班牙航海船员和传教士牧师提供的有限资源外，密克罗尼西亚马里亚纳群岛史前史的民族志文献严重缺乏。位于关岛西北海岸的史前Haputo村遗址在第二次世界大战和随后的土地开发努力的影响下基本上毫发无损地幸存下来，仍然是一个宝贵的考古资源。在这一考古研究项目中进行的空间分析为更好地了解查莫罗人的史前生活模式和村庄结构提供了证据。

Apart from reference works of the 1521 Ferdinand Magellan expedition and limited resources provided by Spanish navigation crews and missionary priests thereafter, there is a significant absence of ethnographic literature pertaining to the prehistory of the Mariana Islands in Micronesia. Having survived largely unscathed the affects of World War II and consequent land development efforts, the prehistoric Haputo village site, located in the northwestern coast of Guam Island, remains as an invaluable archaeological source. Spatial analysis conducted in this archaeological research project provides evidence in achieving a better understanding of Chamorro prehistoric life patterns and village structures.
