Archeological evidence suggests that the [[Shauku archipelago]] was settled around 800,000 years ago by hunter-gatherer peoples who made use of stone and clamshell tools. These people had a mostly plant-based diet with monkey and fish flesh entering their repertoire around 50,000 years ago. Agriculture is first recorded around 15,000 years ago, but it was light due to the thick jungle vegetation. Domesticated dogs and pigs were also evidenced in this period as well. In the 4th century BCE, with the introduction of rudimentary sail technology, to the paddled dugout canoes used by the islanders, the outer islands of the [[Shauku archipelago]] became settled. There was light Oyashimane settlement since roughly 200 BC. | |||
