This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for Nan Madol, one entry in the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general World Heritage List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the World Heritage Committee for the purpose of recognition and protection, not a scholarly history of the site or the traditions associated with it. Use it for this site's World Heritage status, inscription year and the criteria under which it was listed; a claim about its deeper history needs a dedicated historical or archaeological source.

Reliability Tier2
UNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for Nan Madol, the middle tier reflecting an official designation record produced by the World Heritage Committee for recognition and protection rather than a scholarly history of the site. Use it for the site's World Heritage status and inscription criteria; a claim about its deeper history needs a dedicated historical source. NotesUNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for Nan Madol: Ceremonial Centre of Eastern Micronesia (2016); the official heritage designation, not a scholarly archaeological study.

This record's own Title names the UNESCO World Heritage List as the register it is entered under, and its Author names the World Heritage Centre, the World Heritage Committee, or UNESCO itself rather than an individual scholar; one entry inside that same continuously maintained official register, not a witness independent of it.
