Defining the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture and animal management in southern and central Vietnam: Evidence from faunal remains Determining the origins and spread of domestic plants and animals is fundamental in identifying the transition from foraging to farming across Southeast Asia and the foundations of modern Vietnam.

This research project proposes to address the issue of emergence of agriculture in Vietnam through the zooarchaeological study and interpretation of animal bones recovered from recently excavated Neolithic – early Metal Age settlement sites in southern and central Vietnam. The research aims to address one of the most important outstanding research questions in Mainland Southeast Asia, the transition from purely hunting and gathering to the management of domestic animals and agriculture. It will investigate whether initial sedentary settlers in Vietnam remained foragers or managed animal populations, or whether they had mixed economies that relied on both hunting and gathering and domestics. The project will also place the transition from foraging to farming in Vietnam into the broader regional framework of economic change recognized across Southeast Asia.
