Abstract:	The Changkuang site is located on the eastern coast of Taiwan in Taitung county. Two seasons of trial excavation were carried out in 1993 and 1998 that revealed two independent components. The lower component with cord-marked pottery is dated to c. 5700 BP. The upper component probably dates from the late 2nd millennium BC and contains three different types of burial. In this preliminary report, I focus on the upper component and discuss the regional interactions of Neolithic societies in eastern Taiwan. NB: Spelling of Taiwan placenames is retained as in the submitted manuscript. It is essentially streamlined (hyphen- and apostrophe-free) Wade-Giles.
