Angaur

Angaur, or Ngeaur, lies south of Peleliu, beyond Palau's main barrier reef. Its land was traditionally divided among eight clans, whose stone platforms marked houses, burial places and family histories. Islanders worked small garden plots and gathered shellfish in the lagoon and beyond the reef. The Spanish expedition of Ruy López de Villalobos sighted Angaur and the neighbouring islands in 1543, charting them as Los Arrecifes.
