Fish hook!

Today was a good day. I found a fish hook in unit TU-6, in layer 6. A long way below datum. This unit had yielded most of the artefacts we have found this season: another larger fish hook, a large adze fragment, and some nice adze flakes. Here it is, positioned back together (I broke it in half digging):



One team member, who knows a lot more about Samoan archaeology than I do, suggested that this square houses part of a drainage system that may have led away from a dwelling.
