Abstract
Results of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of two groups of pottery (tin-and thick-walled) from archaeological sites on the island of Babeldoab, Palau, Western Carlone Islands, Micronesia, suggest that they were made locally. INAA results from clays indicate possible source areas of raw material.
