Brian Butler, an archaeologist from Southern Illinois University at
Carbondale, excavated Unai Achugao on the northwestern coast of Saipan.
"Excavation in the early Pre-Latte deposits recovered a large sample
of the distinctive red ware ceramics along with a good number of the rare
decorated sherds. The latter included two very different but apparently
contemporaneous decorative styles. The isolation of these early decorative
styles enhances the prospects for eventually identifying the point(s) of
origin in Island Southeast Asia of the early settlers of the Marianas.
