One problem we encounter when delving into Taiwan’s past is a lack of local historical records. Most of the records that survived were written by outsiders to the island, usually describing their encounters and dealings with the natives. Using those outsider records and modern archaeological evidence, we shall try to build a timeline of the island from prehistory up until the 14th Century.
