Discussion and Conclusion
indigenous tempers (Haruku rhyolitic tem.per suite) from the Ambon- haruku-Saparua island chain closely resemble modern sands from the island
chain in both texture and composition.
Exact matches between modern sands and the tempers of modern and ancient sherds are less common, however, than overall generic similarity. Exotic sherds from Serarn containing a non-volcanic temper are also present in prehistoric sherd collections from Ambon.
of the four Seram sherds, two contain indigenous non-volcanic Scram
temper, with one of the others containing the distinctive Haruku rhyolitic
temper indicative of ceramic transfer from the nearby Ambon-Haruku- saparua island chain, and the third containing a different volcanic sand temper embedded in an ash-rich clay paste diagnostic of wares made within the banda group.
The Gorom sherds included indigenous non-volcanic temper probably from Gorom, although import from Seram cannot be ruled out petrographically, but some sherds from Giru Gajah and a single sherd from ondor were again derived from Banda.
The Buru sherds were all indigenous and very distinctive. Sherds from Banda provided a conclusive match to the giru Gajah, Ondor and Seram sherds, and also match exotic sherds from the aru Islands to the southeast.
Two sherds from Banda could not be related to any of the sources known petrographically.
