Anthropology Professor Contributes to Published Book on the Archaeology of Island Colonization
Alex Smith, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, was a contributor to a published book in the series “Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology.”
This volume details how new theories and methods have recently advanced the archaeological study of initial human colonization of islands around the world, including in the southwest Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. This global perspective brings into comparison the wide variety of approaches used to study these early migrations and illuminates current debates in island archaeology.
