Session Abstract
Studies in some countries, e.g. U.S.A., Africa, and Thailand, have been done to make it possible for the general public to participate with formally trained archaeologists. The same examples show that when the local government uses knowledge from archaeology, to cultivate heritage-oriented community services and amenities, the people of the area feel more connected to their culture and past, hence making them more empowered to contribute more in society, to work harder, or to be better citizens of their countries. Archaeological information and heritage can be effectively integrated into a variety of contexts if archaeologists and heritage practitioners assist the government and involve members of the community or area. With the growing market of tourism, where heritage is part of the package, locals in communities need to be able to protect their cultural heritage from potential degradation. Challenges, like lack of educational capacity, human resources, and funding, within local government and communities should be an impetus to create effective ways for professionally trained archaeologists to connect with the general public and other fields.
Heritage practitioners need more engagement with local communities and government agencies in heritage management and preservation. Additionally, the implementation of heritage laws and/or national policies on culture and heritage need to be reviewed and revitalized. We need to discuss the shortcomings of the old ways of heritage management.
This session will discuss proposals on approaches to non-formal learning that is specialized incommunicating significant ideas about a site/place. It will be a platform where archaeologists can share their experiences and learnings from protecting, promoting, and managing archaeological heritage. This involves inter mingling concepts of legislation, law/policy implementation,
urban/regional planning, education, tourism, environmental management, and communication. Through this session, we will find new ways of communicating archaeological data/knowledge to lead to more effective heritage management and preservation.

We invite papers from all fields of geoarchaeology, investigating sites, landscapes and objects to interpret ancient and historical societies in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to archaeological case studies, we welcome papers on approaches and methods.
Please forward abstracts to: duke0035@flinders.edu.au
In this panel, we are going to revisit the conventional hypotheses of the transmission of ideas, transportation of materials, and transition of society. New models will be proposed to explore the
craftsmen movement in this maritime region and illustrate the emergence of prehistoric iron industry in Taiwan. New data of the interactions between complex societies with the written record will also be presented to plot the trade route and to examine the reaction of local indigenous when encounter with foreign powers. These new perspectives and data from the presentations in this panel seek to expand our understanding of the long-existed network and its impact on societies. Our panel will have seven presentations of papers on this topics follow by an open discussion.

The materiality of ritual performance is a growing focus for archaeologists. In Europe, collective ritual performance is expected to be highly structured and to leave behind a loud archaeological signature that can be further contextualised through synergies between written histories, physical features (including monumental architecture, roads and trackways) and artefacts. In Australasia and the Pacific, ritual is highly structured; however, material signatures of performance are not always apparent, with ritual frequently bound up in the surrounding natural and cultural landscape. This has requiredreconceptionalisation of what constitutes constructed ritual places with a focus on broad themes such as “cosmologies”, “ontologies” (e.g. David 2011; David and Wilson 1999), “spiritscapes”, “seascapes” (e.g. McNiven 2003; Rainbird 2004), “Landscapes of movement” (Ucko and Layton 1999) and “sacred geographies” (Ashmore and Knapp 1999; Ballard 1994; Taçon 1999). This session provides a forum to discuss recent archaeological research relating to the archaeology of ritual performance in regions that to date have been under-represented in global dialogues. Contributors may wish to consider region-specific models and methods or provide case studies that relate to dynamic and performative aspects of prehistoric ritual. This could include bodily understandings of space and material culture; materiality of inter-connected ritual places and processions; the role of monumental architecture and funerary activity and the construction and reuse of memory places.
