Food and foodways in Southeast Asia; Trade networks of the Indian Ocean; Colonialism; Hybridization; Globalization<\/p>\n

Research Interests & Fieldwork<\/h3>\n

I study food and foodways in Southeast Asia, especially in Java, Indonesia. My research method is multi-faceted, combining archaeological, documentary, and ethnographic sources to bring together otherwise fragmentary pieces of information to reconstruct past diet in Southeast Asia. I conduct artifact analysis of cooking vessels to better understand cooking methods. Phytolith (silica remains of plants) study holds the key to recover direct evidence of plant-based diet in the tropics of Southeast Asia, where organic remains are often poorly preserved. This type of research is relatively new in Southeast Asian archaeology and I aim to contribute baseline data to the field.<\/p>\n

Projects<\/h3>\n

I conduct excavations at the Banten Lama Archaeological Complex, Java, Indonesia, directed by Naniek Harkantiningsih from the Indonesian National Centre for Archaeological Research (Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi National). This is an international collaborative project partnering with the Nalanda Sriwijaya Centre of Singapore<\/a> at the Institute of Southeast \u00a0Asian Studies.<\/p>\n
