Increasing Returns to Agricultural Intensification at Angkor, Cambodia (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The dominant view in economic anthropology has been that agricultural intensification involves decreasing returns. This view is difficult to reconcile with the emergence of urban systems, which requires improved labor and land productivity to support non-food producers in urban centers. The issue is especially salient...
Indigeneity and Empowerment: The Politics of Ethnic Labeling in the Philippines (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Contested Landscapes: The Archaeology of Politics, Borders, and Movement" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The 300+ years of Spanish, and later, American colonial administration in the Philippines provided the backdrop to regionalism and distinct ethnolinguistic boundaries that borders into prejudice. This is highlighted by the acrimonious relationship between upland and lowland Filipinos, where the idea of being...
Individual, Family, Site, 'Community' or Region? - Thinking Across Spatial and Social Scale in Prehistoric Laos and Thailand (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Paradigms Shift: New Interpretations in Mainland Southeast Asian Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Prehistory is made up of individuals and families going about their daily lives. Surely, no one in NE Thailand 3000 years ago was thinking deeply about how to craft a ‘state’ from small semi-agricultural villages. However, it can also be argued that large scale social and technological change and Asia-wide...

Institutionalized a Sacred Place: Social Logic and Transformation of Space in an Early Northern Thai Cultural Landscape (2019)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Early archaeological sites of Wiang Nong Lom and Chiang Saen in Northern Thailand appear to have a variety of their spatial pattern than the sites in the later periods (late 14th century). Although temples were constructed follow the state-sponsored Buddhist ideology, some building patterns in many early archaeological sites vary from location to location,...
Interaction, Change, and Ceramic Variation along Coastal Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, AD 100-1500 (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Coastal Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, situated along Peninsular Thailand’s eastern facing South China Sea shore, was one of the many vibrant zones of interregional exchange and complexity growth in premodern maritime Southeast Asia. The region’s culture-history, settlement pattern, material culture, and...
Interactions between Hominins and Mammalian Faunas in Southern Asia (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Human Interactions with Extinct Fauna" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. As early humans and Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa, they encountered diverse communities of mammalian faunas in Asia. Here we document hominin migrations out of Africa over the last 500,000 years, discussing the degree to which humans interacted with faunas in Arabia and South Asia. Climate change seems to be the primary reason for the demise...
Investigating Craft Specialization and Pottery Standardization Using Geometric Morphometry of Vessel Shapes from Iron Age Northeast Taiwan (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Novel Statistical Techniques in Archaeology I (QUANTARCH I)" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Changes in craft production over time can indicate shifts in past social structures. However, traditional typological and linear measurements of vessels are limited because they can be insensitive to subtle variations resulting from changes in craft specialization. To overcome this limitation, we measured craft specialization...
IRANGKOR Project: Production, Trade and Consumption of Iron in the Khmer Empire, Cambodia (9th to 15th c. CE) (2018)
Investigation into material production and distribution is an important way of understanding the political and socioeconomic organization of premodern states. Iron, with its specific technological characteristics and diverse cultural utility, can be perceived as one of the most dynamic materials for facilitating social and cultural transformation. Reconstructing how iron was managed in the Khmer Empire is therefore a critical perspective for documenting the interrelationship between its multiple...
Iron Age Trade and Mobility: Assessing Migration at the Site of Ban Pong Manao, Central Thailand (2018)
The archaeological site of Ban Pong Manao is located in the highlands of central Thailand with mortuary contexts dating to the late Iron Age (300-400 CE). Most individuals were buried with numerous grave goods, including intentionally broken ceramics and ritually bent metal implements, and some graves included imported metal, glass, stone, and shell artifacts. The presence of non-local artifacts implies interregional interaction and may indicate some degree of social inequality, but the scale,...
Iron Scales: Reconstructing the History and Organization of Angkorian Iron Smelting around Phnom Dek, Cambodia (Ninth to Fifteenth Centuries CE) (2021)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Phnom Dek, or "Iron Mountain," in central Cambodia is the center of the largest iron production region in mainland Southeast Asia. Spanning over 1,400 years of metallurgical activity, the most intensive evidence of smelting across this vast region corresponds with the expansionary phases of the Angkorian Khmer Empire...

Kilns, Chiefs, and Trade: Precolonial Tradeware from the Philippines and Fujian examined through LA-ICP-MS (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Before the expansion of European interests into East Asia, a maritime network was established between imperial powers and Southeast Asian polities that connected artisans, merchants, chiefs, farmers, foragers, and others. This Early Historic period was a time of important developments that set the stage for later...
Kinship and Migration in Prehistoric MSEA: Insights from Isotopic Analysis over the Years (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Paradigms Shift: New Interpretations in Mainland Southeast Asian Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Kinship is an important but often under-researched aspect of the rise of complex societies. Whereas early agricultural communities in Neolithic Europe and East Asia were patrilineal and patrilocal, the nature and impact of prehistoric kinship systems in Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) is becoming better...

Laying Down with Dogs: The Role of Canis familiaris in Mongolia and Transbaikal during the Xiongnu Period (2023)
This is an abstract from the "From the Altai to the Arctic: New Results and New Directions in the Archaeology of North and Inner Asia" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Xiongnu period (ca. 250 BC–AD 150) of Mongolia and Transbaikal marks a dramatic change in the frequency and treatment of domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) in the archaeological record. While this shift in burial and consumptive practices are indirectly acknowledged in the academic...

The Local Environmental Context for Settlement and Abandonment of the Wetland Site Haimenkou, Yunnan, China (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Haimenkou is a wetland site with exceptional preservation and represents one of the earliest Neolithic occupations in Southwest China at ca. 3600 cal BP. The site is located on the margin of the alpine Jianhu Lake (ca. 2,200 m asl). A coring survey along the lakeshore reveals nearly 10 m fluctuation of the water level and complex intercalations of...
Localizing the Narrative of Spanish Colonization in the Philippines (2018)
The Spanish conquest of the Philippines consolidated the islands into a single political entity and subjected its diverse peoples to homogenizing colonial policies. However, indigenous responses to conquest were wide-ranging, which depended on the political and economic conditions of particular regions. To determine local patterns of responses to conquest, the Ifugao Archaeological Project (IAP) and the Bicol Archaeological Project (BAP) are working to produce localized archaeologies and...
The Making of Agro-pastoral Landscape of the Tibetan Plateau: A Zooarchaeological Perspective (2018)
The vertical ingredient of the Tibetan Plateau plays a unique role in making of the highland agro-pastoral landscape. We divide the Tibetan Plateau into three eco-altitudinal zones: areas below 3,000 m.a.s.l.; areas between 3,000 and 4,200 m.a.s.l.; and areas above 4,200 m.a.s.l. Today, pastoralists and farmers utilize different faunal and floral taxa in the three zones, partly as risk aversion strategies. In this paper, I review the zooarchaeological evidence dated between 6,000 and 1,000 BP...
