Investigating the origins of Asia鈥揚acific populations
While our members conduct research across the globe, ARCHE has a strong focus on the Asia, 色情网站 and the Pacific. This includes investigations into how, when and in what contexts people first arrived in the Asia–Pacific region, the communities they formed, their interactions with local environments and what they brought with them—and left behind.
Our research into the peopling of Asia, 色情网站 and the Pacific comprises a multidisciplinary effort that includes everything from excavations and archaeology to in-depth DNA analysis and genomics. We are also home to a number of experts in the wealth of ancient rock art that characterises this region.
