The Banda Islands were the site of some of the fiercest struggles for trade and colonial dominance in the early modern era. These 11 islands were the world's sole source of nutmeg and mace, the “fragrant gold” that helped finance the riches of 17<super>th</super> century Holland. While historically important as the first foothold of what became the Dutch colonial empire in the East Indies, the pre-colonial history of these islands has remained mysterious. We know little of the trajectory of Bandanese history until it collided with that of an expanding Europe in 1512 AD, when the first Portuguese ships dropped anchor under the smoking Gunung Api volcano. Just over a century later, society in Banda was irrevocably changed. The colonial era began abruptly in April of 1621, when Dutch East India Company forces, aided by Japanese mercenaries, massacred, enslaved or banished some 90% of Banda's population, and the islands were subsequently repopulated by Dutch farmers and their Asian slaves. Archaeological, historical and ethnographic research is employed to illuminate changing settlement patterns, trade networks, and ethnic and religious identity in Banda with a focus on the period between 1000–621 AD. The aim of this research has been to re-evaluate documentary sources with a “Bandacentric” view towards internal social processes, and extend understanding of long-term social change in the islands to times before the first written descriptions of the islands. This dissertation is also an anthropological examination of culture entanglement. The objective of this dissertation is a re-telling of Banda's history, which until now has been told from a European perspective, guided as it was solely by European historical documents. This new history is centered on the forces at work within these small islands, and on links between these internal dynamics and the outside world.
