| Title: | Southeast Asian Archaeology |
| Description: | Southeast Asia is one of the world's overlooked archaeological wonders. This class reviews the archaeology of Southeast Asia from the Pleistocene onward. We examine 4 developments: appearance of the first hominids; origins and timing of plant and animal domestication; timing and impact of early metallurgy; and the emergence of sociopolitical complexity. We view these transitions in terms of ecological and archaeological perspectives. We discuss methodological and theoretical issues from uses of ethnographic analogy and historical records as data sources to anthropological notions of ethnicity, cultural change, and political economy. |
