项目摘要

Human Adaptation to Coastal Evolution: Late Quaternary evidence from Southeast Asia (SUNDASIA)RESEARCH SUMMARYChanging sea-levels have had a significant impact on human evolution and history in Southeast Asia, and continue to affect the lives of people living there today. Under glacial conditions the continent of Asia extended into the Southern Hemisphere, but up to 75% of that additional landmass ('Sundaland') becomes submerged during interglacials, making this the world's largest single area of land lost cyclically to the sea. The 3.5-year SUNDASIA project, which has already attracted £300,000 worth of corporate backing towards its projected c. £1m cost, explores how prehistoric foraging communities adapted to cycles of coastal inundation in Southeast Asia and how understanding of those processes can inform on modern responses to climate-induced rising seas. Until now, no archaeological record was sufficiently detailed for these linked topics to be researched comprehensively at a landscape scale in this region. The Tràng An limestone massif on the southwest margin of the Red River delta, Vietnam, is the first area in the region to provide such a record and as a result has recently (2014) achieved World Heritage status. The current project synthesizes archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence from the last three marine transgressions: those occurring between 59,000 and c. 1500 years ago. Through its work in Tràng An SUNDASIA will demonstrate the impact that changing sea-levels had on early socio-economic systems in the region. This is a body of data that is also highly relevant today: more than 23% of the world's population currently reside on the coast or low-lying islands. These communities face the urgent threat of climate-driven sea-level rise which is particularly acute in Southeast Asia where sea-levels are rising at a rate three times the global average. Although scientists and policy-makers are now incorporating long-term palaeo-climate records into predictive models of climate change, almost no attention has been paid to considering how people coped with these changes in the past. Incorporating adaptive measures that permit a diverse repertoire of responses to climate-change is seen as key to the accuracy and practicality of these models, yet these measures remain poorly understood. Sea-level change and environmental diversity have been powerful drivers behind culture-economic systems for tens of millennia in Southeast Asia; its archaeological record and particularly that from Tràng An offer enormous potential to help bridge this knowledge gap.

人类对沿海进化的适应：来自东南亚的晚第四纪证据（SUNDASIA）研究摘要海平面的变化对东南亚的人类进化和历史产生了重大影响，并继续影响着今天生活在冰川条件下的人们的生活。亚洲大陆延伸至南半球，但在间冰期期间，额外陆地（“巽他大陆”）的 75% 被淹没，使其成为世界上最大的大陆为期 3.5 年的 SUNDASIA 项目已吸引了价值 30 万英镑的企业支持，预计成本约为 100 万英镑，该项目探讨了史前觅食社区如何适应沿海洪水的周期。东南亚以及对这些过程的理解如何有助于了解现代对气候引起的海平面上升的反应，到目前为止，还没有足够详细的考古记录可以在该地区的景观尺度上全面研究这些相关主题。越南红河三角洲西南边缘的长安石灰岩地块是该地区第一个提供此类记录的地区，并因此于最近（2014 年）获得了世界遗产地位。当前的项目综合了考古和古环境。最近三次海洋入侵的证据：发生在 59,000 年前至 1500 年前的事件将通过其在长安 SUNDASIA 的工作来展示变化的影响。海平面对该地区早期社会经济系统的影响，这些数据在今天也具有高度相关性：目前世界上超过 23% 的人口居住在沿海或低洼岛屿上。气候驱动的海平面上升带来的紧迫威胁在东南亚尤其严重，那里的海平面上升速度是全球平均水平的三倍，尽管科学家和政策制定者现在正在将长期古气候记录纳入预测中。气候变化模型，几乎没有人们过去一直关注考虑人们如何应对这些变化，将采取多种应对气候变化的适应性措施视为这些模型准确性和实用性的关键，但人们对这些措施仍然知之甚少。数千年来，海平面变化和环境多样性一直是东南亚文化经济体系背后的强大驱动力；其考古记录，尤其是长安的考古记录，为帮助弥合这一知识差距提供了巨大的潜力。
