About Ben

Bansky: Early Man Goes to Market (2005)My main research activity is using models from evolutionary ecology to analyse past human behaviour in mainland Southeast Asia and Australia. My technical specialisation in stone artefact technology provides me with wide scope in time periods and geography. My specific interests include the hominin colonisation of mainland Southeast Asia, forager technologies and ecology in Australia and mainland Southeast Asia, and transitions to agriculture in mainland Southeast Asia.

Key words: Evolutionary ecology, archaeology, stone artefact technology; Mainland Southeast Asia and Australia

Teaching

In the Autumn Quarter of 2009 I am teaching ARCHY 369 'Mainland Southeast Asian Archaeology'.

In Winter 2009 I'll be teaching ARCHY 482 'Geoarchaeology'. This class is now full and closed for registration. I expect to offer it again next year but you'll need to contact me for an add code about two weeks before registration starts to get a spot.

In Summer 2010 I'll be running an Australian Desert Archaeology Field School. Applications will open in November 2009.
