“…The scale of trade networks around the South China sea, however, is much broader, and the Austronesian trading sphere encompassed mainland SE Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and southern China, as well as India to the west. There was a dramatic increase in activity in this area from ~2500 BP to ~1800 BP (Hung et al 2007;Hung et al 2013;Calo 2014;Calo et al 2020;Bellina 2017) [Figure 9], overlapping with the period between the introduction of temperate japonica to Taiwan and tropical japonica from the Northern Philippines. Between 500 BCE to 100 BCE, bronze drums manufactured in northern Vietnam are found as far away as the Malay Peninsula and Bali (Calo 2014).…”

The dispersal of rice (Oryza sativa) following domestication influenced massive social and cultural changes across South, East, and Southeast Asia. The history of dispersal across islands of Southeast Asia, and the role of Taiwan and the Austronesian expansion in this process remain largely unresolved. Here, we reconstructed the routes of dispersal of O. sativa ssp. japonica rice through Taiwan and the northern Philippines using whole-genome re-sequencing of indigenous rice landraces coupled with archaeological and paleoclimate data. Our results indicate that japonica rice found in the northern Philippines diverged from Indonesian landraces as early as 3500 BP. In contrast, rice cultivated by the indigenous peoples of the Taiwanese mountains has complex origins. It comprises two distinct populations, each best explained as a result of admixture between temperate japonica that presumably came from northeast Asia, and tropical japonica from the northern Philippines and mainland Southeast Asia respectively. We find that the temperate japonica component of these indigenous Taiwan populations diverged from northeast Asia subpopulations at about 2600 BP, while gene flow from the northern Philippines occurred before ∼1300 years BP. This coincides with a period of intensified trade established across the South China Sea. Finally, we find evidence for positive selection acting on distinct genomic regions in different rice subpopulations, indicating local adaptation associated with the spread of japonica rice.

“…Metal-Age sites with published data covering the period of these maritime interactions are widespread, from the Philippines (Bellwood & Dizon, 2013), stretching to the Talaud islands north of Sulawesi (Ono et al, 2018a), Sulawesi (Bulbeck, 2010;Bulbeck et al, 2016), northern Maluku islands (Bellwood et al, 1993;Bellwood, 1998Bellwood, , 2017Ono et al, 2018b), Timor (Glover, 1986), Bali (Calo et al, 2020a(Calo et al, , 2020b, and into east Sumba (Heekeren, 1956), where metal items, glass beads, distinctive Metal-Age earthenware, in some cases Chinese tradeware, and jar burials have been dated from the 5th century B.C. On Bali, archaeological investigations indicated that the Lesser Sunda Islands were part of a wider Trans-Asiatic trade network since the 2nd century B.C.…”

The archaeological record of Wallacea remains exceptionally fragmentary. This is especially the case for late Holocene human occupation of the region when lifestyle and culture in marginal island environments is relatively unknown. Here we report on the archaeology of Jareng Bori rockshelter, a Metal-Age site spanning c. 1800 cal. BP up to the late historic period and situated on the eastern coast of Pantar Island in the Lesser Sunda Islands of eastern Indonesia. We use osteoarchaeological (human and vertebrate remains), invertebrate zooarchaeological (crustacean and molluscan remains), technological (lithics, shell, and pottery) and chemical sourcing (obsidian and metal) datasets to discuss networking, migration, and human subsistence strategies during this recent period of history. While some communities were no doubt living in open village settlements where they were producing pottery, the data indicate that aspects of maritime life-ways continued much as in earlier Pleistocene settlements, with people using rockshelters like Jareng Bori to pursue a range of subsistence activities focused on the shoreline. Shellfishing of rocky and reef intertidal species and fishing for mostly small herbivorous and omnivorous fishes was practised, while domestic animals only appear in the late historic period. Wider regional cultural interactions and networking are epitomized by obsidian exchange, dental modification practices, and pottery decorations, while lithic analyses indicates continuity of stone tool technology up until recent times.
