Archaeology and Natural History - About us

Archaeology and Natural History explores deep time in the Asia Pacific region with a focus on the interaction of people with the environment.
Our Department works in a space beyond modern geographies and the written record, unpacking and connecting cultural developments across this vast region. We are a unique multidisciplinary unit, seamlessly integrating environmental scientists and archaeologists to uncover patterns in human behaviour and environmental change through millennia.
