Archaeometallurgy, the study of human : metal interactions during the production, exchange and consumption of metal artefacts and by-products, has a variable time depth and intensity around IPPA’s geographical remit. East Asian metals research has long been at the cutting edge of the field but all IPPA regions have advanced rapidly in the last decade, to the point where useful data comparisons and syntheses are now becoming viable for this potentially far-voyaging material culture medium.
The number of trained specialists remains low, especially with respect to the vast territories that remain archaeologically unexplored and the numerous excavated assemblages that have yet to be studied. Nevertheless, we are pleased to note the growing number of students and young researchers gradually bettering our understanding of how metals and their extended lifecycles were integrated and manipulated, in various spheres, particularly economic and political.
This session would like to welcome researchers and students to share with the community their work and discoveries related to the study of ancient metallurgy and metals, of any period and from across the entire IPPA remit. It is hoped that this session will serve as a venue for scholars to present, discuss, and exchange their ideas and perspectives on ancient metallurgy, so we can better understand and interpret from the scale of the atom to the phase, artefact, assemblage, site, locality, region and continent.
If you wish to present your paper, please express your interest to us via email (pira.venunan@gmail.com and kalayar.yinminnthu@gmail.com) no later than 15 March 2018. Abstracts of 250 words will be required by the end of March 2018.

During the past years, a number of excavations on Champa have been carried out in Central of Vietnam. These discoveries have shed some light to certain new understanding of architecture, sculptural, as well as history of Champa. Moreover, since 1927, a collection of Cham sculptures were gathered and exhibited in the Hue Museum of Royal Fine Arts; however since 1945, this Cham collection was kept away from public view for the next 71 years. It was only in 2016 that the Cham collection was re-open for visitors to gaze upon them. Focusing on materials from Central Vietnam, this panel will explore Champa from various approaches: ethno-archaeology, landscape archaeology, art history, and religious history. To be specific, we will discuss recent excavations as well as historical forming of the Hue collection, their place and contribution to the Cham studies as a whole. The panel aims to spark a relevant interdisciplinary dialogue to enhance our understanding of Cham art, architecture, religion and hence Cham history.

The current application of new technologies, theories and methodologies are driving a fluorescence of new perspectives on settlements and cities across Southeast Asia. A number of new trends, interpretations and sites are emerging. However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the integration of settlements and cities into the history of the region. Bridging the gap between regional and site specific perspectives will greatly aid in this endeavour. This double session will bring together scholars utilising diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to both regional and site-specific research questions. The intention is to help compare, cohere, and further catalyse these new perspectives and help chart the trajectories of future research.

Abstract
It was nearly 70 years ago when Hallam L. Movius’ now famous map dividing the early Palaeolithic Old World into the Hand-Axe and Chopping-tool culture areas was published. The Movius Line, controversial from the outset, has been the subject of active discussion in recent years. With the discoveries of bifacially-flaked heavy tools from early formations in various parts of East and Southeast Asia, some researchers advocate that the concept of the Movius Line should now be discarded, while others maintain that the Line is still useful in a modified sense (sensu lato). We will hear both sides of the argument, based on site-specific (or region-specific) data, and from a broadly comparative perspective, followed by a free-flowing discussion.

The Western Pacific has witnessed some of the largest scale migrations in human history, from the late Pleistocene initial colonization of modern humans, through to the long distance sea voyages of the Austronesians in the late Holocene. These migrations have caused substantial environmental and cultural change as new colonists learn how to adapt to or modify new environments and their resources. For the Austronesians, these new encounters would also have coincided with meeting preexisting populations in Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, prior to their movement out into the remoter parts of the Pacific, where they transported cultural landscapes onto previously uninhabited islands. The panel participants will discuss the latest research on a range of topics related to this long history, including the colonization of new environments and development of agriculture in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the Austronesian movement into the Western Pacific, and later regional developments in environment and cultural histories. This panel includes papers focused on the Western Pacific region (Japan, West Papua, Papua New Guinea, Solomons, Vanuatu, Fiji, Micronesia, Madagascar).

Abstract: Recently, paleopathology has been established in Asia as the indispensable study of tissues remnant in ancient biological specimens. By various anthropological and other biological techniques, the secular changes in health and disease patterns of Asian populations could be successfully traced. The obtained information thereby contributes to more comprehensive understanding of the reciprocal interaction between human beings and disease throughout long history. In this session, we will try to discuss the recent progress in paleopathological studies in different countries of Asia. The authors will discuss about the ancient people’s life and diseases from the perspectives of archaeology, anthropology, osteology, parasitology, radiology, and molecular biology etc.

Abstract
This session discusses current perspectives on environmental changes during the Pleistocene-Holocene transitional period and the relationship to past human populations as seen in the archaeological data of Island Southeast Asia (ISEA). Major research advances have been made on the timeline and the fossil and artefactual records of early human migration. Current evidence suggests that long-distance open water expeditions by anatomically modern humans (AMH) were made as early as c. 65,000 years ago initiating the colonization of Sahul (Australia and New Guinea), and the Wallacean islands.
These researches have exhibited a growing appreciation on how shifting environments and changing sea-level directly affect human movement, subsistence, technology and exchange, to the extent of understanding how Neolithic societies have been established. In addition, models and patterns on human impact to different environments have developed shedding light on the nature of resource exploitation and addressing today’s conservation issues. These concepts play a significant role in approaching a holistic outlook on humanenvironment reciprocal interactions detailing human responses and their adaptive capacity to thrive and survive in a dynamic setting amidst external pressures.
We invite scholars who research on the prehistory and palaeoenvironments of Island Southeast Asia and draw out points of convergence in the emerging Paleolithic and preNeolithic record of ISEA to contribute to our understanding of this period as well as to initiate discussions on the effects of climate change, currently a main global concern.

This panel will focus on the discussions of the production and technological exchange of ancient porcelain industries, based on new findings of archaeological excavations, shipwrecks, collections, and documentations etc. during the past decades, in the East and Southeast Asia areas. In addition to the products and trades, the panel attempts to draw more attention on the comparisons and interlinks of production technology in terms of kiln types, firing equipment, tools, processing techniques and so on and thus explore the exchange of technology and culture of these areas.
It is under plan that the panel will invite about 15-20 scholars, with half of them from China and the rest from all over the world. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Yanjun Weng, under the advisory of Prof. Dashu Qin at Peking University and with the support of Jingdezhen Oriental Ceramic Society.
