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年前粮食生产人口在东南亚大陆其他地区扩张之前抵达越南北部的认识上的一个重大差距。重大的新见解将包括关于文化发展和人口祖先的信息，改进的考古年表，以及该地区农民和狩猎采集者维持生计的经济的细节。了解现代东南亚，特别是越南背后的人口历史，预计会带来显著的好处。

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.
