Abstract Southeast Asia is home to rich human genetic and linguistic diversity, but the details of past population movements in region are not well known. Here, we report genome-wide ancient DNA data from thirteen Asian individuals spanning Neolithic period through Iron Age (4100–1700 years ago). Early agriculturalists Man Bac Vietnam possessed a mixture East (southern Chinese farmer) deeply diverged eastern Eurasian (hunter-gatherer) ancestry characteristic Austroasiatic speakers, with...
Myanmar is located within an important geographic corridor of prehistoric demographic and technological exchange, yet relatively few archaeological sites have been securely dated. Here, the authors present a new radiocarbon chronology for Halin, UNESCO-listed complex in north-central Sagaing Division Myanmar, which contributes to generation nuanced regional chronologies improving temporal resolution Southeast Asia more generally. Discussion 94 determinates, together with site stratigraphy...
This paper aims to re-examine the dietary practices of individuals buried at Sigatoka Sand Dunes site (Fiji) in Burial Ground 1 excavated by Simon Best 1987 and 1988 using two approaches a reassessment their archaeological, bioarchaeological chronological frame. First, stable carbon nitrogen isotope analysis was applied document changes between childhood adulthood an intra–individual approach on paired bone–tooth. Second, potential adaptation environment evaluated through regional temporal...
Historical phenomena often have prehistoric precedents; with this paper we investigate the potential for archaeometallurgical analyses and networked data processing to elucidate progenitors of Southwest Silk Road in Mainland Southeast Asia southern China. We present original microstructural, elemental lead isotope 40 archaeological copper-base metal samples, mostly from UNESCO-listed site Halin, 24 geological copper-mineral also Myanmar. combined these existing datasets (N = 98 total)...
Since 2014 the Mission Archéologique Française au Myanmar has been excavating a prehistoric cemetery, Oakaie 1, adjacent to famous Nyaung’gan Bronze Age cemetery in Sagaing Division. 1 (OAI1) was selected as proxy order better understand Neolithic-Bronze Age-Iron chronological transitions upper-central Myanmar, for eventual regional-scale synthesis. An initial attempt AMS 14C date 13 human femurs failed due lack of collagen but subsequent effort using an apatite dating methodology on 5...
Cet article propose de s’intéresser à deux cimetières estimés la fin du deuxième au début premier millénaire avant notre ère et situés dans région Sagaing en Haute Birmanie : Oakaie 1 Nyaung’gan. Au total, soixante-et-une tombes ont été mises évidence. Elles livré un riche matériel archéologique, dont mobilier céramique qui présente des similitudes stylistiques d’un site l’autre. Partant ce constat, se sont alors posées les questions l’existence ou non traditions culturelles partagées...
In Southeast Asia, the late prehistoric period, from appearance of farming to rise proto-states, lasts only 1500-2000 years, and is thus extremely brief in comparison Europe. Cemeteries represent critical sites chronological cultural understanding these changes, stimulated by influences both China India. Myanmar Asia nation share terrestrial frontiers with vast neighbours, but even Thailand Viet Nam, archaeological investigation a phase rapid expansion. As such, dataset beginning offer...
For nearly a century, questions have remained as to the purpose and age of Plain Jars in Lao People's Democratic Republic. Scholars generally argued that these megaliths served mortuary function, either symbolic monuments or receptacles for dead. However, due paucity evidence associated with jars, it has been difficult conclusively argue way. Aside from small amounts cremated human bone fragments found within limited number date no substantive burials inside stone jar across this vast...
