| Abstract: |
The island of Mare, near Ternate in the northern Moluccas, has the sole surviving earthenware pottery industry in the northern Moluccas. Mare pots are still traded widely throughout Halmahera and adjacent areas. This paper presents the results of an archaeological investigation into the development of Mare pottery, especially its style and technology. Possible outside sources of stylistic change are also investigated. This paper correlates Mare pottery within a wider Northern Moluccas pottery context.
