“…A subsequent migration of nomads from the Eurasian steppe left 2/28 an equally important footprint in the genomes of present-day people, and may have introduced proto-Indo-European languages into Europe 15 . Similar processes have been inferred in the transition to agriculture in other regions of the world -including Central-South Asia 16 and Southeast Asia 17,18 -where present-day individuals bear diverse ancestries from both original hunter-gatherer populations and from subsequent migrations.…”

The amount of sequence data obtained from ancient samples has dramatically expanded in the last decade, and so have the types of questions that can now be addressed using ancient DNA. In the field of human history, while ancient DNA has provided answers to long-standing debates about major movements of people, it has also recently begun to inform on other important facets of the human experience. The field is now moving from not only focusing on large-scale supra-regional studies to also taking a more local perspective, shedding light on socioeconomic processes, inheritance rules, marriage practices and technological diffusion. In this review, we summarize recent studies showcasing these types of insights, focusing on the methods used to infer sociocultural aspects of human behaviour. This work often involves working across disciplines that have, until recently, evolved in separation. We argue that multidisciplinary dialogue is crucial for a more integrated and richer reconstruction of human history, as it can yield extraordinary insights about past societies, reproductive behaviours and even lifestyle habits that would not have been possible to obtain otherwise.

“…We note that while the substantial contribution into Ami seems at odds with the lower f 4 statistics compared to Japanese, the lineage admixing with Ami shares only a very short branch with IK002, suggesting a contribution from a distinct group with an early divergence from the IK002 lineage. As IK002 also shares ancestry with early Hòabìnhian hunter-gatherers [49] , a contribution of those to the ancestors of Ami would also be compatible with this result. However, there is still lack of ancient genome data to understand the peopling history of East Eurasians.…”

“…This study takes advantage of whole-genome sequence data from the 2,500-years old Jomon individual, IK002, dissecting the origins of present-day East Asians. IK002 is modelled as a basal lineage to East Asians, Northeast Asians/East Siberians, and Native Americans (basal East Eurasians: bEE)( Fig.4 ), supporting a scenario in which their ancestors came through south of the Himalayas mountains and migrated from Southeast Asia towards the north [6,49] . We clearly show the early divergence of IK002 from the common ancestor of the other ancient and present-day East Eurasian and Native Americans ( Fig.1C ).…”

“…Major gene flow events recovered include the well-documented contribution of MA-1 to the ancestor of Native Americans [47] , as well as a contribution of IK002 to present-day mainland Japanese (m=3~6; Fig.S6 ). IK002 can be modelled as a basal lineage to East Asians, Northeast Asia/East Siberians, and Native Americans, supporting a scenario in which their ancestors arrived through the southern route and migrated from Southeast Asia towards Northeast Asia [6,49] . The divergence of IK002 from the ancestors of continental East Asians therefore likely predates the split time between East Asians and Native Americans, which has been previously estimated at 26 kya [47] .…”

Anatomical modern humans reached East Asia by >40,000 years ago (kya). However, key questions still remain elusive with regard to the route(s) and the number of wave(s) in the dispersal into East Eurasia. Ancient genomes at the edge of East Eurasia may shed light on the detail picture of peopling to East Eurasia. Here, we analyze the whole-genome sequence of a 2.5 kya individual (IK002) characterized with a typical Jomon culture that started in the Japanese archipelago >16 kya. The phylogenetic analyses support multiple waves of migration, with IK002 forming a lineage basal to the rest of the ancient/present-day East Eurasians examined, likely to represent some of the earliest-wave migrants who went north toward East Asia from Southeast Asia. Furthermore, IK002 has the extra genetic affinity with the indigenous Taiwan aborigines, which may support a coastal route of the Jomon-ancestry migration from Southeast Asia to the Japanese archipelago. This study highlight the power of ancient genomics with the isolated population to provide new insights into complex history in East Eurasia.

“…ISEA consists of the Sultanate of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, and Timor Leste/East Timor. I also include data from Taiwan, as archaeological, biological, and genetic research shows the deep connections with MSEA and ISEA (Hung et al 2007;Matsumura et al 2019;McColl et al 2018). Similarly, a recent example of house structures from the Dian region of southern China is included, as this area has longstanding connections with the Dongson culture of northern Vietnam (Yao 2018).…”

Despite the ethnographic importance of the Southeast Asian house and household, an explicitly Southeast Asian "household archaeology" is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, archaeologists in Southeast Asia have undertaken excavations within habitation areas and residential spaces, identifying domestic debris, the partial remains of house structures, and activity areas. As a result, archaeologists of Southeast Asia have addressed many topics of relevance to those who use a household archaeology approach, including the identification and description of houses and household activities; the domestic economy; domestic ritual; diversity and variability both within houses as related to questions of identity, specifically gender and age, and between houses, especially as related to status; and identification of supra-household communities. In this review, I consider how archaeologists have addressed these themes using examples from a diverse set of geographic locations and time periods in mainland and island Southeast Asia. I conclude with suggestions for future research directions to continue building an archaeology of residential spaces and communities in Southeast Asia.
