Description 1 online resource Contents Section I: History and Practice -- Section II: Early Occupations of Asia -- Section III: Changing Human-Environment Relations from Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene -- Section IV: Villages, Towns, and Cities: Development of Cultural and Social Complexity -- Section V: Center, Peripheries, and Interaction Networks -- Section VI: The Transition to History Summary The Handbook of East and Southeast Asian Archaeology focuses on the material culture and lifeways of the peoples of prehistoric and early historic East and Southeast Asia; their origins, behavior and identities as well as their biological, linguistic and cultural differences and commonalities. Emphasis is placed upon the interpretation of material culture to illuminate and explain social processes and relationships as well as behavior, technology, patterns and mechanisms of long-term change and chronology, in addition to the intellectual history of archaeology as a discipline in this diverse region. The Handbook augments archaeologically-focused chapters contributed by regional scholars by providing histories of research and intellectual traditions, and by maintaining a broadly comparative perspective. Archaeologically-derived data are emphasized with text-based documentary information, provided to complement interpretations of material culture. The Handbook is not restricted to art historical or purely descriptive perspectives; its geographical coverage includes the modern nation-states of China, Mongolia, Far Eastern Russia, North and South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and East Timor.-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed December 20, 2017) In Springer eBooks Subject Archaeology -- East Asia -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Archaeology -- Southeast Asia -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Excavations (Archaeology) -- East Asia -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Excavations (Archaeology) -- Southeast Asia -- Handbooks, manuals, etc Archaeology.
