Acknowledgements

This project was implemented in close consultation with Yap’s traditional leaders, the Council of Pilung, many village chiefs and aech owners. We thank them for their support and assistance.

This information has been compiled by Bill Jeffery who, as a contracted maritime archaeologist to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Historic Preservation Office, led the aech project. However, the outcomes and what has been reported here have been a team effort combining the work of all of the Yap State Historic Preservation Office staff and particularly James Lukan (Yap State Historic Preservation Officer) Francis Reg, John Runman and William Pitmag. Margie Falanruw and Peter Ruechugrad made substantial contributions to the fieldwork and in compiling aspects of a final report.
