The iconic Ho‘oumi Beach site (NHo-3), Nuku Hiva Island (Marquesas), was excavated by Robert Suggs in the late 1950s. It figured importantly in his island-wide reconstruction of settlement patterns, socio-political organisation, material culture and subsistence change – a cultural historical framework that has guided Marquesan archaeology for six decades. Ho‘oumi is also one of four Marquesan localities where prehistoric ceramics have been found. We revisited Ho‘oumi to acquire chronological and palaeoenvironmental context for two cultural occupations reported by Suggs. Eight 14C determinations on short-lived materials and new marine reservoir corrections are reported, and the overall series evaluated using Bayesian modelling. A single ceramic sherd, previously assigned to a Fijian source, is attributed to the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries AD – a period when Marquesans engaged in long-distance voyaging. A significant marine inundation disrupted the associated occupation, leading to sustained coastal abandonment. Stratigraphic and historical evidence suggests this was a palaeotsunami, which may also be represented at Hane (Ua Huka Island). House pavements of the early occupation were replaced by raised megalithic house foundations, probably around the late seventeenth to mid-eighteenth centuries AD, but material culture changes were modest. By late prehistory, mature native forest was largely replaced by secondary species and Polynesian introductions.

Marquesan 陶瓷、古海啸和巨石建筑:区域视角的 Ho'oumi 海滩遗址 (NHo-3)

标志性的 Ho'oumi 海滩遗址 (NHo-3),Nuku Hiva 岛 (马克萨斯),由 Robert Suggs 在 1950 年代后期挖掘。它在他对定居模式、社会政治组织、物质文化和生计变化的全岛重建中发挥了重要作用——这是一个指导马克桑考古 60 年的文化历史框架。Ho'oumi 也是发现史前陶瓷的四个马克桑地区之一。我们重新访问了 Ho'oumi,以获取 Suggs 报告的两种文化职业的时间顺序和古环境背景。八14报告了对短期材料和新海洋储层校正的 C 确定,并使用贝叶斯建模评估了整个系列。单个陶瓷片,以前归属于斐济来源,可归因于公元 13 至 14 世纪——马尔克桑人从事长途航行的时期。一次严重的海洋淹没破坏了相关的占领,导致持续的沿海废弃。地层和历史证据表明这是一次古海啸,它也可能出现在 Hane(乌卡岛)。早期占领的房屋路面被凸起的巨石房屋基础所取代,可能在公元 17 世纪末至 18 世纪中叶左右,但物质文化的变化不大。到史前晚期,
