Environmental Archaeological Approaches in Southeast Asia

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)

The aim of this session is to report on recent environmental archaeological approaches tounderstanding human behavioral adaptations in Southeast Asia (mainland and island). We aim tosurvey the various ways that environmental conditions affected hunter-gatherer and agriculturalsocieties throughout the late-Pleistocene and Holocene. Paper topics of this session may includeresearch of subsistence regimes, technological change and/or development, forager efficiency,paleoecology, transition into agriculture, or any relevant research involving these themes. Wewelcome novel research, papers involving meta-analysis, or historical reviews.
