Falemauga Caves
The Falemauga Caves are large natural caverns in a series of lava-tunnels situated in the Tuamasaga district along the central ridge of Upolu island in Samoa. The caves have been studied by archaeologists in Samoa with evidence of human occupation in pre-history. They were also used as a place of refuge by the people of Tuamasaga.〔
The caves were explored and excavated in the early 1940s by New Zealand anthropologist Derek Freeman who published his report in the Journal of the Polynesian Society in 1944.〔() The Falemauga Caves by JD Freeman, The Journal of the Polynesian Society, Vol. 53, 1944, No. 3, p.86-106. Retrieved 31 January 2010〕 Platforms constructed of stacked rocks, charcoal, stone adzes and marine shells were found in the caves.
In the Samoan language, the name ''Falemauga'' can be broken down into two words, ''fale'' which means 'house' and ''mauga'' which means 'mountain.'
==Location==
The Falemauga Caves are located in an inland area called Falemauga, about 6 miles south west from Apia, Samoa's capital. Entrance to the main system of tunnels is about five and a half miles south (inland) of the coastal village of Malie.〔
