Section: Palaeometallic Mortuary-jar Container Sites (Ca 200 Bc To Amentioning

“…Implicitly, Bellwood referred to the use of jars not as grave goods but as mortuary containers, even if this specific use of the recovered pottery is inferred rather than directly observed at certain sites, such as Leang Buidane (see below). The examples he discussed also exclude sites with jars buried for rituals that were probably non-mortuary, considering the lack of associated human remains in conditions that should be conducive to preservation of bone -for instance, the Palaeometallic jars buried at Makabog in the Philippines (Henson 1992), Leang Balangingi in the Talaud Islands (Bellwood 1976) and Batu Ejaya in southwest Sulawesi (Bulbeck 1996(Bulbeck -1997.…”

“…Since the 1970s, Peter Bellwood's archaeological interests have focused particularly on investigating the emergence of agriculture in Southeast Asia (Bellwood 1976(Bellwood , 2001. Peter has been a strong advocate of the farming/ language dispersal hypothesis and has been a main proponent of the migration of agricultural populations, ultimately from southern China, through Mainland and Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) as the main mechanism explaining the geographic distribution of closely related languages and peoples across the region today (Bellwood 1996.…”

“…From the Philippines they dispersed fairly rapidly south and west into the islands of Southeast Asia (Bellwood 1979 Along with a variety of material culture and new modes of settlement, one of the proposed major economic components transported with these initial farming communities into MSEA and ISEA was the 'big three' of domestic pigs, dogs and chickens. When Bellwood (1975) first suggested that these domestic animals had been introduced into MSEA and ISEA by early agricultural communities it was primarily inferred, firstly by archaeological evidence of the three domesticates intermittently dispersed throughout the region, mostly recorded on islands where no native wild antecedents existed, and secondly by virtue of Proto-Austronesian lexical reconstructions (see ). In 1976, Peter noted of evidence for domestic pigs in ISEA:…”

“…Interpretation of the excavated materials as a jar-burial assemblage is strengthened by the match between the minimum numbers of 36 interred individuals and 32 large jars. The rich assemblage of mortuary goods includes beads and bracelets of shell, semiprecious stone and glass, as well as bronze and iron, and three baked-clay casting moulds, one with a thermoluminescence date of AD 1000±130 (Bellwood 1976.Three jar-burial assemblages of similar nature, age, pottery decorations and associated grave goods have also been excavated in southeastern Sabah, Borneo (Bellwood 1988a(Bellwood , 1988b(Bellwood , 1988c.

The study of modern human origins and the study of the origins of modern human diversity are intimately linked. The evolutionary models employed have implications both for interpreting the significance of morphological variation and evolutionary trends, and in terms of the processes that gave rise to such variation. Although controversial, available evidence is taken to indicate a single, recent origin of modern humans.This paper explores the process of differentiation of modern populations in Asia and argues for morphological discontinuities in the late Pleistocene populations in the region. The intensely studied population history of Eastern Asia suggests that the evolution of the Mongoloid population complex may result from a process of differentiations, expansions, and dispersals, resulting in the development of regional morphological patterns. The relatively late appearance of regional morphological differentiation, especially in Northeast Asia, opens the possibility of the earliest Amerindians not being a typical "Mongoloid" population.A more generalized Mongoloid morphology has been described for both North and South American Paleoindian remains. In this paper, the morphology of a robust, not typically Mongoloid, population in South America is investigated, and its implications for the homogeneity of Amerindians discussed. Since a derived, typically Mongoloid morphology cannot be attributed to the early Amerindian and Fueguian-Patagonian populations, it is argued either that the sinodont dental pattern was acquired in parallel in Asia and the Americas or that at least two migratory waves ancestral to Amerinds took place.Modern humans, Population differentiation, Mongoloid hiso 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The dentition of New Britain West Nakanai Melanesians. VIII. Peopling of the pacific

The dental crown morphology and size of 48 male West Nakanai, New Britain, Melanesians is described and compared with other Pacific and Asian dental samples. The West Nakanai dentition is like those of other Melanesians, much less like those of Polynesians and Micronesians, and very dissimilar to teeth of modern and Neolithic Southeast Asians. It is suggested that the origin of the modern Melanesian dental pattern (large but simplified teeth) was probably in Melanesia, not Southeast Asia as the orthodox view of a Hoabinhian-Australmelanesian relation claims.
