Abstract

This short report outlines new findings from the Mansiri site, close to Toraut village, in Northern Sulawesi. Initially discovered during survey activities in the early 1990s by Dr Joko Siswanto, Balai Arkeologi Manado, the site has not been focus of archaeological activities until a re-visit of the area by Puslit Manado in 2011 and a surface survey of the surrounding area detected additional artefactual material. Previous excavations conducted by Balai Arkeologi Manado in 2011 - 2013 uncovered large numbers of decorated ceramic sherds indicative of an early Neolithic site. Initial radiocarbon examination of a small sample showed evidence of a possible pre-3000 BP deposit at the site.
