Our joint project in the Philippines is returning after the covid hiatus - to fieldwork in April and to conferences! Here's a list of presentations and posters at the upcoming Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association on research in the Dewil Valley, a joint project between UCD School of Archaeology, the School of Archaeology (formerly Archaeological Studies Program) at the University of the Philippines Diliman, and the National Museum of the Philippines, with many collaborators. On top of that, Helen Lewis will co-chair the panel Prehistoric Riverscapes in Asia: Catchment, Landscape, 'Flow' with Simon Kaner, Director of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Culture, University of East Anglia.
