Abstract:	The ceramics recovered from two recent excavations on the island of Erromango, southern Vanuatu are discussed. The two sites of Ponamla and Ifo have produced a wealth of ceramic material, the sequences of which appear to add further strength to the argument of a basic cultural continuity in Vanuatu between Lapita and the cultures which followed. First settlement of Erromango occurred around 3000 years ago with the arrival of Lapita colonists. It appears that ceramics produced on the island were used for up to 1000 years until production ceased around 2000 B. P.
