Southeast Asian hunters-gatherers
This paper is an edited and expanded version of the same-titled keynote lecture at the twelfth international Conference on Hunting and Gathering Societies (CHAGS) held in Penang, Malaysia on 23–28 July 2018. The nature and importance of Southeast Asian Pleistocene hominins were reviewed, as was the ‘negrito hypothesis’ that queries the genetic unity of the negrito populations of the region. The presence and status of today’s hunting-gathering soc…

Apache Farmers, Agta Hunters and Bunong Elephant Keepers
I spent much of my life interested in prehistoric and modern hunter-gatherer, or forager, societies. This professional exploration has led me through concepts, tools, and passions of many aspects of ethnoarchaeology. An ecological approach and material focus to modern hunters has led me to seek both the basis of today's humid tropics foragers, and to consider the many models associated with human biocultural evolution, from the Plio-Pleistocene t…
A High Status Burial from Grasshopper Ruin, Arizona
During the 1966 session of the University of Arizona Archaeological Field School an elaborate burial was excavated. The grave goods were placed in two layers. Layer 1 was approximately 90 cm. above Layer 2, which was associated with the body. Layer 1 may have been deposited some time after the grave was originally filled. Included in the two areas were 36 ceramic vessels, 128 projectile points, an incised bone wand, and many other items. The impl…

Agta Foragers
This paper looks at how the Agta are perceived by non-Agta and the relevance such perception has on Agta involvement in logging, environmental conservation, evangelical Christianity, and hosting their admirers: the anthropologists. We focus on two groups of Agta: (1) the people of the municipality of Palanan, site of the World Bank and Dutch government funded Sierra Madre Wilderness Park, and (2) the people of Maconacon north of Palanan, the loca…

Menarche, pregnancy, birth spacing and menopause among the Agta women foragers of Cagayan Province, Luzon, the Philippines
The reproductive histories of 74 post-menarcheal Agta Negrito women, tropical foragers of Cagayan province, north-eastern Luzon, the Philippines are described and analysed in comparison with data collected by Howell on Dobe !Kung hunter-gatherers. Among the Agta, mean age at menarche is 17, mean age at first live birth is 20.14 years, mean completed parity is 6.53 and mean age at menopause is 44. Average height is 141.24 cm and average weight 36.…
