R. Engelhardt and P. Rogers the Chaw Lay network of sites, whereas Laem Thong has been dropped entirely. Networks as safety nets Clues to this can be found in a) continued existence of abundant shellfish resources in the nearby mangrove; and b) the relative position of Sa pam and Laem Thong within the Chaw Lay network of fishing and migratory links. Laem Thong is isolated at the outer edge of the network. If the population of such a distant node falls below a certain threshold it ceases to be a viably sustainable community and the predicted catastrophic jump takes place in the form of removal. Sapam is sufficiently close to the centre of the same network that it remains viable even when its population is depleted by individual out-migration. There will be enough traffic of neighbouring Chaw Lay in and out as part of the normal functioning of the network to maintain its viability as a site. Sa pam provides us with a good example of the tenacity of the survival mechanisms of the maritime adaptation. Their elasticity allows them to absorb a great deal of stress without the necessity for abandonment of the basic adaptation. It also points out that the network itself is constantly in flux with the relative position, function and importance of sites within the network constantly changing. In the past fifteen years, Sapam has changed its position in the palimpsest. It has jumped to near the bottom of the chain. Relative positioning within the network is a key to understanding the system. We have seen how in the seventeen years since our project began, the centre of the network has switched from Rawai to Tukay. The central position ofTukay has been reinforced by the in-migration six years ago ofthe La em Thong population. The shift of the centre to Tukay has also given Sa pam an extended lease on life as it has brought Sapam closer to the centre and makes it a viable site for base settlement exploitation on a more casual or temporary basis with Tukay fulfilling the base camp social and support functions for the Sapam population. Returning to our earlier discussion on the concepts ·borrowed from the biogeographic model- carrying capacity; spacing; splintering; colonialisation; and filtering - we can understand how and why certain sites change their relative importance and drop in and out of the network, depending upon factors such as, (i) their position and relative isolation along dendritic networks linking satellites with base camps; (ii) the absolute size of the satellite site; (iii) the critical level of population which the buffering resources of the site can support; and, (iv) the degree to which the site's carrying capacity has been overreached and its resources exhausted. The removal response is a maritimeadapted solution to the problem of how to sustain human population densities and conserve resources over an extended period of time in an environment where the resources themselves are mobile and widely scattered. Because of the population's mobility and the availability of interchangeable econiches, a complex pattern of movement, social splintering and regrouping has evolved. The advantage of this strategy is that it does not entail a change in the means, forces or in the relations of production. The insights which have been the result of our long-term study and repeated reexamination of these phenomena both archaeologically and ethnographically have been essential in testing and clarifying our previous models of maritime adaptation of the sea peoples of the Southeast Asian archipelago. Infiltration, displacement, expansion and replacement The situation of invasion by intruders at Laem Thong, Haad Yao, Tukay, Rawai and Sa pam- as we knew was happening when we first initiated the Phuket Project- also has made it possible to investigate the issue of relations between maritime adapted and non-maritime adapted groups as shown archaeologically in their material culture 30 Journal of The Siam Society Vol85, Parts 1 & 2
