About

Falefa Valley, located inland on the east side of Upolu Island in Samoa, represents a region of archaeological interest. The valley is part of the traditional domain of Falefa, with its southern boundary at Le Mafa pass. Archaeological research in the area has been conducted by a New Zealand team led by Roger Curtis Green and Janet Davidson, although specific archaeological features or periods have not been detailed in the provided text. The valley's position within the political district of Atua, near the smaller district of Va'a-o-Fonoti, and its connection to a main island highway indicate its historical significance as part of traditional Samoan land use and settlement patterns. Further archaeological investigation might reveal more about its historical and cultural context.
