Prehistoric stoneworks From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fauba Archaeological Site is a prehistoric stoneworks on a mountain ridge on Tol Island in Chuuk State of the Federated States of Micronesia. The site consists of an area enclosed by a stone wall that is roughly triangular in shape. The wall is between 1 and 1.5 meters in height, and is about 1 meter thick. The enclosed area includes a number of stone platforms, and there is a refuse midden outside the enclosure that is believed to be associated with the site. The exact purpose of the site is a subject of debate: although its siting has obvious military benefits (including commanding views of Chuuk Lagoon and other islands of the atoll, it is not clear that it actually saw military activity.[2]
