Archaeology of Cultural Fluidity in Taiwan
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
From maritime-based foragers to Neolithic farmers and Austronesian pioneers, the prehistoric societies of Taiwan exemplify cultural fluidity – defined as resiliency leading to transformative evolutionary change -- as an adaptive strategy. This session offers fascinating case studies that examine cultural fluidity from an evolutionary perspective. Geo-spatial, archaeological, and artifactual data will be featured as well as updates about emerging discoveries on this unique island and the related Pacific sphere.
