The aim of the EurASEAA is to facilitate communication between different disciplines, to present current work in the field, and to stimulate future research. This international initiative aims to foster international scholarly cooperation in the field of Southeast Asian archaeology, art history and philology.

This volume focuses substantially on topics under the broad themes of archaeology and heritage, material culture, environmental archaeology, osteoarchaeology, historic and prehistoric archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and long-distance contact, trade and exchange.

The most important lithofacies for determining the history of this period of time is Lithofacies 4, the \u27brown silts with anthropogenic deposits\u27 immediately overlying Lithofacies 3 and 3R. The oldest radiocarbon dates from Lithofacies 4 are from charcoal in the Harrisson Excavation Archive, originally obtained at 60-66 inches depth in Trench Y /E3, of 35,890±250 bp or 40,489-41,613 cal. BP (OxA-15163), and from charcoal we obtained from the pit-infill deposits overlying Lithofacies 3 in Section 2.1 (Fig. 3.29), of 33,790±330 bp or 37,431-39,550 cal. BP (OxA-11302) and 29,070±220 bp or 33,121-34,518 cal. BP (OxA-11303). The boundary between this chapter and the next is the global transition to the Holocene, the modern climatic era, now dated in Greenland ice cores to 11,702 calendar years before the year 2000 (Rasmussen et al. 2006) but for convenience here rounded to c. 11,500 cal. BP. Lithofacies 4 continued to accumulate into the Early Holocene (Chapter 3)

Preliminary study of a thick speleothem layer at Tabon Cave, Palawan, demonstrates the potential such layers hold for dating and for interpretation of local and regional climatic asriations during archaeological periods. A layer of gypsum speleothem, previously suggested to be travertine, has produced uranium series dates correlating
with bracketing radiocarbon dates on charcoal, confirming an increase in moisture around the time of the Last Glacial Maximum. Dating and study of additional speleothems in Tabon and other caves in lsland Southeast Asia is recommended as an approach with great potential for archaeological studies and for reconstructing regional climate history in the Pleistocene and Holocene.

Regarding ancient tillage, there are two major types of indicators which should be examined micromorphologically: profile or horizon characteristics associated with the impact of cultivation on the soil, and the characteristics of macroscopic tillage features themselves. This volume discusses experimental study of both of these aspects, in comparison to archaeological remains, and presents a feature morphology-based approach to the study of ancient arable land use.

Though very few pieces were determined, the results gave a glimpse of the types of woody plants most likely present in the vicinity of Ille, 14,000 to around 4,000 years ago. This report also aims to provide taxonomic identification based on the available literature to serve as baseline information for future use.

Of particular interest in this season was an identified metalworking area located outside of and adjacent to the later addition; this was the area that included context [2202], a mixed black and red deposit with frequent finds of metal slag (mainly iron), shell and animal bone. This area of the site had been sampled in 2008 for soil micromorphological study; in particular, exposed profiles containing multiple interpreted floor layers of clay and silt, with probable wood ash inclusions, had been sampled using kubiena tins. These layers were described again in greater detail in 2010, and further exposures of them and their distribution in relation to other features and structures were assessed. A plan for additional sampling for geochemical study of use-of-space in the various structural areas was also established.

However, the type and extent of vegetation that existed on much of this exposed landmass during the LGP remains speculative. Extensive bird and bat guano deposits in caves throughout this region span beyond 40,000 yr BP, and contain a wealth of untapped stratigraphic palaeoenvironmental information. Stable carbon isotope ratios of ...

In: Barker, G (eds). Rainforest Foraging and Farming in Island Southeast Asia: The Archaeology of the Niah Caves, Sarawak. Volume 1, 173-216, 2013

This book is the first of two volumes describing the results of new work in the caves by a multi-disciplinary team of archaeologists and geographers aimed at clarifying the many questions raised by the earlier work. This first volume is a closely integrated account of how the old and new work combines to provide profound new insights into the prehistory of the region: the strategies developed by our species to live in rainforest from the time of first arrival; how rainforest foragers engaged in forms of ‘vegeculture’ thousands of years before rice farming; and how rice farming represented profound transformations in the social (and spiritual?) lives of rainforest dwellers far more than being the dietary staple that it is today.

Though very few pieces were determined, the results gave a glimpse of the types of woody plants most likely present in the vicinity of Ille, 14,000 to around 4,000 years ago. This report also aims to provide taxonomic identification based on the available literature to serve as baseline information for future use.

Research paper thumbnail of Linking cultural and environmental change in Peruvian prehistory: Geomorphological survey of the Samaca Basin, Lower Ica Valley, Peru

Yet its extensive archaeological remains attest to substantial pre-Hispanic populations. We provide a case-study of Pre-Hispanic culturally induced environmental change through combining field archaeological and geomorphological survey with archaeobotanical, sedimentary and soil micromorphology approaches. Our investigations reveal that, although major El Niño climatic perturbations occurring around the end of the Early Intermediate Period are part of the explanation, more gradual, human-induced reduction in riparian dry-forest vegetation also lie behind major landscape change, which culminated during the Middle Horizon.
