Funded Activity Summary

Crossing Borders: The Use and Distribution of Volcanic Glass Artefacts in Northeast Asia. Our project contextualises the development and nature of exchange relationships across vast areas and potentially different peoples in order to maintain sustainable and successful life-ways in prehistory. Tracing the distribution of volcanic glass artefacts from Paektusan Volcano, located on the border of China and N.Korea, into Far East Russia and S.Korea provides insights into the rapid colonisation of northeast Asia and Northern America during the Late Palaeolithic and brings Australia to the forefront of new international areas of research. Through its collaborative nature this project will broaden our contact with China on an academic level; gaining a better appreciation of cultural, economic and political issues in the region.
