The archaeology of Thailand and Myanmar: A Strategic Region for Understanding Modern Human Colonization and Interactions Across our Region

在印度、澳大利亚和太平洋的十字路口，这个项目认识到东南亚大陆西部对理解该地区过去5万年的人类历史至关重要。泰国和缅甸处于战略地位，可以测试现代人类最初扩张的相互竞争的模式，以及随后的文化变化和互动轨迹。该项目旨在为重建古气候产生多个数据集。这些数据将有助于测试对未来气候的预测，在应对气候变化和多变性方面做出重大贡献。

At a crossroads between India, Australia and the Pacific, this project recognises western mainland Southeast Asia as critical to understanding the human history of the region over the past 50 000 years. Thailand and Myanmar are strategically positioned to test competing models of initial modern human expansion, and subsequent trajectories of cultural change and interaction. This project aims to produce multiple data sets for reconstructing palaeoclimate. This data will assist in testing projections for future climate, making a significant contribution in responding to climate change and variability.
