The Missing Millennium and the Origins of Agriculture in Southeast Asia

该项目旨在调查失踪的千年——这是我们对5000至4000年前粮食生产人口抵达越南北部的理解中的一个重大空白，之后他们才扩展到东南亚大陆的其他地区。实质性的新见解将包括有关文化发展和人口祖先的信息，增强的考古年表，以及该地区农民和狩猎采集者的自给经济的细节。在了解现代东南亚，特别是越南的人口历史方面，预计会有重大的好处。

This project aims to investigate the missing millennium – a significant gap in our understanding of the arrival of food producing populations into northern Vietnam between 5000 and 4000 years ago, before their expansion across the rest of Mainland Southeast Asia. Substantial new insights will include information on cultural development and population ancestry, an enhanced archaeological chronology, and details of the subsistence economies of both farmers and hunter-gatherers in the region. Significant benefits are expected in understanding the population history behind modern Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam.
