Southeast Asia stands as one of the world's most significant regions in the study of human prehistory, spanning a remarkable period exceeding two million years. Situated along the migratory routes from the African homeland, it witnessed the settlement of hominin populations, including Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis. The arrival of the first Anatomically Modern Humans, who followed a coastal route, occurred at least 60,000 years ago, establishing a hunter-gatherer tradition that still thrives in remote forests today.
From around 2000 BC, significant innovations emerged in the north and west, such as rice and millet farming, which profoundly impacted human settlement in Southeast Asia. A millennium later, knowledge of bronze casting spread along the same pathways, leading to the identification and exploitation of copper mines. Metals were exchanged over vast distances, fostering the development of early states in the region, including the renowned kingdoms of Angkor, Champa, and Funan.
This period of transformation and development holds immense significance in understanding the roots of the present nation-states of Southeast Asia. To provide a comprehensive resource for researchers and newcomers alike, The Oxford Handbook of Early Southeast Asia brings together the latest research from various disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, history, art history, and linguistics. This handbook will serve as an invaluable guide for those seeking to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of this region's early history.
