These are today caught in the open sea by trolling and it is tempting to see that technology first being applied on Nissan at this time and being introduced from the south where trolling hooks are known from the Sohano period (2,200 to 1,400 years ago) onwards. Moray eels disappear in the Nissan sites at the same time, interpreted as the beginnings of a food taboo which is still in force today in some Nissan villages. Hangan pottery from Buka is succeeded about 700 years ago by the Malasang style, followed about 200 years later by the Mararing style which is usually found together with Recent style pottery [see Wickler 2003].
FROM 2,500 TO 500 YEARS AGO The post-Lapita Yomining phase on Nissan consists of a predominantly plain pottery with occasional incised decoration. It continues until perhaps 750 years ago, after which late Hangan style pottery from Buka begins to be imported. Because the Yomining assemblage is quite different from the Sohano style pottery of Buka, dating to about 2,200 to 1,400 years ago, a source to the north on New Ireland or one of the islands off its east coast must be assumed. The material culture and fauna are similar to that from Lapita sites [Spriggs 1991].
Rising population presumably necessitated the greater exploitation of such resources. Cave burial is common in the Mararing/Recent phase on Nissan with extended, flexed and secondary interments being found. The last record of the import of obsidian to Buka occurs in the Malasang phase and it was not known there ethnographically, although other items from the Bismarcks came in via Nissan in historic times [Specht 1974; Spriggs 1991: Table 1]. The expansion of trade in Buka pots north to the edge of the Bismarcks, beginning in the Malasang phase, is matched by expansion south along the Bougainville coast.
