Abstract: Recent archaeological worlc in Micronesia is reviewed. There has been remarlcable progress in many fields, including the establishmem of basic sequences, studies of pottery and other artefacts, the investigation of subsistence systems and settlement patterns, and the exploration of archaeo­ logical manifestations of social complexity. Much of the progress is due to the recognition that Micronesia is an important area of study in its own right However, there has been little progress in understanding the origins of Micronesian peoples and cultures. The currently orthodox model of Micronesian seulemenl, derived largely fr001 modem studies in linguistics, needs careful eval­ uation. It is necessary to identify Micronesian origins if the range of human adaputions in the region is to be fully understood.
