The Raja Ampat Project

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This presentation will introduce the Raja Ampat Project, a multidisciplinary effort to explore evidence for 1) the initial settlement of eastern Wallacea, and 2) how humans adapted to and transformed island environments over time. The Project has four main strands: 1) excavations of new material, 2) material culture analyses, 3) zooarchaeological analyses, and 4) prehistoric and modern marine ecology. The presentation will provide an overview of research that has already been conducted at Raja Ampat, some preliminary data that have been collected, and several avenues for future research.
