-
Pulemelei Mound Polynesia’s largest freestanding stone mound, built in more than one stage, with its purpose and any sky reading still open. -
Mulifanua The only dentate-stamped Lapita pottery in Samoa, dredged from below sea level at the Mulifanua ferry berth, dated about 2880 to 2750 calibrated years ago, with a later recalculation that moves the age and then doubts the bone it uses.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- Star mounds, tia seu lupe, are a different Samoan plan from Pulemelei. They have arms or cogs, often 15 to 20 metres across, and the recorded use is pigeon snaring on a ground where rank was shown. The English name is the shape of the arms. No azimuth to a named star is published in the sources used for the Pulemelei room. National University of Samoa, star mounds.
