“…Her innovative approach was to adopt incredibly straightforward, reproducible indices that comprise simple comparative ratios of counts or weights of different plants and plant parts (e.g., number of seeds to weight of wood charcoal) as direct correlates of past human and animal behaviours. Some of Miller's most influential work applied these simple ratios to address complex archaeological questions, such as fuel use (e.g., Miller 1990Miller , 1996Miller , 1997aMiller , 1999b, agricultural intensification (Marston and Miller 2014;Miller 1997aMiller , 2002bMiller and Marston 2012;Miller et al 2016), and anthropogenic landscape change (Miller 1999b(Miller , 2004(Miller , 2010(Miller , 2011).…”

Southeast Asia is a paradox to Western scholars. Few are familiar with its history, yet Southeast Asia has been a veritable intellectual resource extraction zone for twentieth- and twenty-first-century social thought: imagined communities, galactic polities, agricultural involution and the moral economy of peasants all emanate from work done in Southeast Asia. The region's archaeological record is equally paradoxical: late Pleistocene ‘Hobbit’ hominins disrupt models of human origins, the world's largest Buddhist monument of Borobudur now sits in a wholly Muslim land mass in central Java, and the world's largest premodern city of Angkor is located in Cambodia, a country that remains resolutely rural. So we should not be surprised that Scott'sAgainst the Grain: A deep history of the earliest statesdraws from a career in Southeast Asian studies to study human history (the entire Anthropocene). This essay concentrates on how Scott believes early Mesopotamian states became legible.
