SUMMARY:Archaeology and genetics in Oceania: the history of humans and the
 ir crops in the Pacific -  Andrew Clarke (McDonald Institute for Archaeolo
 gical Research)

CONTACT:Vicki Harley
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Ocean (or Oceania) is a fascinating place to study
  human history. It contains some 25\,000 islands – most were either inha
 bited in prehistory or show evidence of prehistoric human contact. Oceania
  is the location of some of the oldest human migration events (e.g. New Gu
 inea) and some of the most recent (e.g. New Zealand). This lecture will de
 scribe how archaeology and genetics are being combined to understand how h
 umans have moved across the Pacific\, the tempo and mode of crop selection
 \, and how agriculture has spread across a vast island world.
