Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2022
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora," at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Archaeological research on Chinese and Japanese diaspora sites has increased in recent years, resulting in important new perspectives and ways of understanding the varied people, places, and material culture associated with Asian American and Asian diaspora experiences. This session brings together scholarship from sites across the Asian diaspora in order to map the diversity of archaeological projects being conducted and the histories being told. By approaching this topic in such a broad manner, we hope to highlight the many ways that current research is bringing to light the diverse and enduring heritage of the Asian diaspora.
