Social and Environmental Interactions on Coasts and Islands in Korea

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 88th Annual Meeting, Portland, OR (2023)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Social and Environmental Interactions on Coasts and Islands in Korea" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Ecological and cultural settings along coasts and islands have provided archaeologists important data on the peopling of, migrations, cultural interactions and isolations, and niche constructions on oceanic spheres. Islands and coasts in Korea have been shaped by different environmental factors and cultural trajectories throughout the Holocene. This panel aims to discuss the recent data on human-ecological-social dynamics along the west, east, and southern coasts and islands in Korea from the early Holocene onward. Panelists will examine topics on foodways, landscape management, technological change, ideological reflections, and social interactions.
