Funded Activity Summary

Transformations and Persistence in the Holocene in East Timor: Unpacking the Island Southeast Asian Neolithic and Metal Age Cultural Packages. This project will be of great benefit in understanding culture interaction and change in our region. The close relationship between Timor and Greater Australia throughout the Holocene, and its place in Southeast Asia link it both east and west through time. In addition to understanding the nature of interaction between communities, we seek to understand how the Timorese responded, through time, to environmental variability and how this affected local culture. Furthermore, our particular focus on production technologies, as well as testing theories of migration and replacement for the Neolithic, allow us to see the nature of innovation within Timorese society.
