About Ben
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
