This interpretation was originally based primarily on a presumed evolution in pottery styles, from Unstan ware to grooved ware, seen at the settlement of <a href="/wiki/Rinyo" title="Rinyo">Rinyo</a> on Rousay. D.V. Clarke claimed in 1983 that his investigations at Rinyo had debunked this sequence.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> John Hedges is another primary proponent of what might be termed the "cultural coexistence" hypothesis, suggesting that although Unstan ware may predate grooved ware, the cultures associated with these styles of pottery lived side by side across Orkney for centuries.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this interpretation of the evidence, grooved ware is associated with the builders of the <a href="/wiki/Maeshowe" title="Maeshowe">Maeshowe</a> class of chambered tomb. The geographic distribution in Orkney of the two pottery types is as follows: grooved ware is found on <a href="/wiki/Mainland,_Orkney" title="Mainland, Orkney">Mainland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sanday,_Orkney" title="Sanday, Orkney">Sanday</a>, and <a href="/wiki/North_Ronaldsay" title="North Ronaldsay">North Ronaldsay</a>, with Unstan ware found on Mainland and the remaining islands, especially Rousay and <a href="/wiki/Eday" title="Eday">Eday</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hedges sums up his view this way: </p> <blockquote><p>What is important is an understanding that the neolithic population of Orkney can be divided into two major parts on the basis of some elements of their material cultures. It is probable that they originated from different areas and...there is no difficulty in imagining their ability to coexist.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>However, he also notes: </p> <blockquote><p>One point that should be made at the outset is that there is no discernable difference in the culture- in the social anthropological sense- of the Grooved Ware and Unstan Ware people...it is only apparent from limited aspects of material culture and the evidence...shows it to have been subordinate to a tribal level of unity which took in the whole of Orkney.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span
