I would suggest not to use \starttable at all.
To me the most suitable table environment for such a table is \bTABLE \eTABLE. It gives you all kind of control over layout, dimensions, frames on and off etc.
\setupTABLE[c][1][leftframe=off,width=40mm]
\setupTABLE[c][2][rightframe=off, width=60mm]
\setupTABLE[c][each][align={lohi,center}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD {\bf Eons}\eTD \bTD {\bf Eras} \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD Hadeon Eon \eTD \bTD \eTD

How can I get the cell with the text "Archaeon Eon" to be a little lower, so it is centered within its box?
