Recent Developments in East and Southeast Asian Archaeology II: Sites, Landscape, and Environment

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)

The archaeology of East and Southeast Asia continues to grow with new scholars, projects, and methodological developments. Dialogue across borders keeps expanding as well, albeit modestly. As in previous years, we wish to bring together scholars to encourage cross-cultural, cross-border, and cross-disciplinary discussions regarding two world regions that have a long history of interaction. The number of participants exceeds by far the number of slots available in one session, so there will be two symposia on Recent Developments in East and South Asian Archaeology focusing on different aspects of research. This second part takes on the macro perspective by discussing human-environment and site-landscape interaction as well as long-distance exchange during prehistoric and early historic periods throughout East and South East Asia.
