説明
The chewing of betel nut (Areca catechu) has been a cultural tradition for thousands of years in south and southeast Asia. This custom later spread to Oceania during the Austronesian expansion around 6000 B.P. Although betel stained teeth and remnants of Areca and associated ingredients have been documented from archaeological contexts in Micronesia, the dispersal and antiquity of betel nut in the region has not been synthesized. In this paper we describe the archaeological and paleoenvironmental data for this tradition in western Micronesia and the earliest direct evidence for betel nut chewing in Palau dating to cal. 3000 B.P.
