Funded Activity Summary

Astride the Wallace Line: 1.5 million years of human evolution, dispersal, culture and environmental change in Indonesia. This project will address major turning points in human evolution, dispersal, culture and palaeoenvironmental change in Southeast Asia. It will focus on two Indonesian islands (Flores and Java) that lie east and west of a major biogeographical boundary: the Wallace Line. Turning points in the last 1.5 million years include the initial arrival of hominids; the extinction of early hominids; the appearance of fully modern humans; the beginnings of plant cultivation and animal domestication; and major faunal changes over time. We will develop and apply new dating techniques to tackle some of the most fundamental questions in world archaeology.
