• This week: a human-faced megalith spotted in Lore Lindu—right in an illegal gold-mining zone—and Korea & Vietnam’s first joint underwater survey in Quảng Ngãi, chasing shipwrecks + Chinese ceramics across old sea lanes

  • New week, new reads: a “Southwestern Silk Road” model for amber into Han China, the biggest Austroasiatic genomic dataset yet (with Dvaravati/Angkor-era signals), plus rock art methods and fresh motifs from Malaysia and Laos. Molecules, motifs, and migration stories — all in one roundup.

  • New year, new (very full) newsletter From Java Man coming home to Jakarta to Khmer sculptures heading back to Cambodia and a bleak month on the Thai–Cambodian border, catch up on a whole month of Southeast Asian archaeology: https://bit.ly/4syuWJh
  • This week’s Southeast Asian Archaeology newsletter is all about the invisible infrastructure of knowledge — the stuff behind the sites. We look at Cambodia’s push to access the late Emma Bunker’s notebooks as a potential roadmap to looted Khmer art, a Thanh Hóa village communal house where 47 imperial edicts were quietly stashed in bamboo tubes for centuries, and Jingdezhen’s “ceramic gene bank” in China, where millions of sherds and glaze recipes are treated like DNA for porcelain. From roof beams to databases, it’s a reminder that archives, records and lab data shape what we think we know about the past just as much as temples and shipwrecks do. Plus the usual mix of regional news, grants, jobs and heritage politics — link in bio/newsletter below.

via Inquirer, 05 February 2020: The Callao Cave of Cagayan was where Homo luzonensis was found and is now recognised as an important cultural property of the Philippines.

A cultural marker will be unveiled at the Callao Cave complex in Peñablanca town, Cagayan province, on Thursday, officially recognizing the cave as an “important cultural property” of the country.

The National Museum of the Philippines will lead the unveiling of the marker, along with the team of scientists behind the excavation of the fossils of the Homo luzonensis, a previously unknown human species, from the cave.
