About SEAArch>> The Southeast Asian Archaeology newsblog was started in May 2006 to help me keep track of the archaeology news in the Southeast Asia. Archaeology is a relatively young discipline in Southeast Asia today, and also one of the field’s most exciting frontiers. Even as many questions remain unanswered, it is becoming more and more apparent how diverse - yet closely interconnected - the region is. SEAArch initially began as a personal effort to learn more about the archaeology of Southeast Asia by keeping track of news, but has since expanded to cover podcasts, links and books as well.
About Me>> I’m Noel, based in Singapore. Currently I work as a writer-and-sometimes-journalist, and sometime later this year (2008) I will begin my MA candidature in archaeology where I will be researching Southeast Asian rock art. My other research interests include the archaeology of Singapore (of which there is little, and so extends to the rest of island Southeast Asia), and the inter-linkings of politics and archaeology.
About the news>> The bulk of this blog carries archaeology news from Southeast Asia, and in that way I act as a human aggregator for news. Many of these news articles are current at the time of posting, and in some cases they are only online for a few days or weeks. I try not to post the full story online, and I believe that my republishing of such news falls under the category of fair use as I always provide a link to the source. If you find a story here that you might want to read but is no longer available, you can try emailing me to see if i’ve a copy.
