Abstract

International audience; We present the results of metallographic, elemental, and lead isotope analyses of one slag and 27 copper-base artefacts from northern Vietnam. These artefacts come from four sites: Dai Trach, Thành Dên, Gò Mun, Xuân Lâp and are attributed to the Đồng Đậu (ca. 1300–1000 BC), Gò Mun (ca. 1000–700 BC), and Đông Sơn (ca. 700 BC–100 AD) cultures, the two former being Bronze Age (18 samples) and the latter Iron Age (10 samples). Twenty-two of the samples have as-cast microstructures, with one having been quenched, three evidencing working and annealing, and one too corroded to tell. Despite variable corrosion levels, all metal samples are identified as bronzes, rather than copper, though seven are leaded bronzes. All the leaded alloys are Iron Age, which is typical for the region. Lead isotope results were notable, in that none of the study samples is consistent with the known prehistoric Southeast Asian copper production signatures, an unusual occurrence in recent regional provenance research. There is some compatibility with Thai Bronze Age copper-base artefacts, but generally it seems there was only weak overlap in exchange systems between northern Vietnam and southern Mainland Southeast Asia, with northern Laos as a possible frontier zone. Further archaeometallurgical prospection and characterisation in northern Vietnam are needed to identify primary production loci, but sources in the southern Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong are also probable.

Abstract

Ancient migrations in Southeast Asia The past movements and peopling of Southeast Asia have been poorly represented in ancient DNA studies (see the Perspective by Bellwood). Lipson et al. generated sequences from people inhabiting Southeast Asia from about 1700 to 4100 years ago. Screening of more than a hundred individuals from five sites yielded ancient DNA from 18 individuals. Comparisons with present-day populations suggest two waves of mixing between resident populations. The first mix was between local hunter-gatherers and incoming farmers associated with the Neolithic spreading from South China. A second event resulted in an additional pulse of genetic material from China to Southeast Asia associated with a Bronze Age migration. McColl et al. sequenced 26 ancient genomes from Southeast Asia and Japan spanning from the late Neolithic to the Iron Age. They found that present-day populations are the result of mixing among four ancient populations, including multiple waves of genetic material from more northern East Asian populations.

Abstract

International audience; The taxonomic status of isolated hominoid teeth from Asian Pleistocene deposits has long been controversial due to the morphometrical similarities between Homo and Pongo molars. Here we report a variant observed on the internal surface of the mesial marginal ridge of the upper molars that appears to be taxonomically informative. The presence of mesial marginal accessory tubercles has been previously reported in humans and other primates. However, until now, it has never been systematically studied across a taxonomically diverse sample of hominoids. Micro-computed tomography was used to examine the enamel-dentine junction of 442 hominoid upper molars, including Australopithecus (n=55), Paranthropus (n=42), Homo habilis s.l. (n=7), H. erectus s.l. (n=7), H. neanderthalensis (n=52), H. sapiens (n=93), Pan (n=67), Gorilla (n=19), recent Pongo (n=30) from both Borneo and Sumatra, and Pleistocene Pongo from Vietnam (n=45) and China (n=25). Only specimens of definite taxonomic attribution were included in this study. We used 3D geometric morphometric techniques to evaluate shape and size differences of the mesial marginal ridge between the paracone and protocone. We also examined the manifestation of the protoconule, a mesial marginal accessory tubercle located on the mesial portion of the protocone. The results of the multivariate analyses performed for M1, M2 and M3 separately and combined show that Pleistocene and recent Pongo cluster together and are clearly differentiated from all species of Homo, Australopithecus, Paranthropus, Pan and Gorilla. The mesial marginal ridge of Pongo is semi-circular shaped with a wide anteroposterior central diameter and encompasses a low-cusped configuration with internally placed mesial cusps, whereas that of Homo has a crescent-like shape, with tall and more externally located cusps. While shape changes of the mesial marginal ridge for each molar type along the morphospace in both Principal Component Analysis and Canonical Variate Analysis reveal important taxonomic differences, changes in M3 suggest greater diversity among hominoid species compared to M1 and M2. For all molars combined, our results also indicate that the protoconule is present in 80% and 87% of the Pleistocene and recent Pongo individuals, respectively. In contrast, the protoconule is absent or occurs in low frequencies in hominins and African great apes (0%- 25%, with the greatest frequency seen in A. afarensis). The Fisher’s exact tests indicate that frequencies of protoconule expression in Pleistocene and recent Pongo are significantly different to all other hominoids examined. Differences within the Homininae, on the other hand, are in most cases non-significant. Our combined approach incorporating dental non-metric and geometric morphometric data demonstrates the discriminatory power of the internal surface of the mesial marginal ridge for distinguishing between isolated upper molar teeth of Ponginae and Homininae. By identifying this new feature on the protocone, whose presence in Pongo is independent of tooth size and serial position, our results can provide some resolution to the taxonomic ambiguities of several Asian hominoid dental remains and contribute to the better understanding of hominoid biogeography during the Pleistocene.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that healed traumatic injuries in the pre-Neolithic assemblage of Con Co Ngua, northern Vietnam (c. 6800-6200 cal BP) are consistent with large wild animal interactions prior to their domestication. The core sample included 110 adult (aged ≥ 18 years) individuals, while comparisons are made with an additional six skeletal series from Neolithic through to Iron Age Vietnam, Thailand, and Mongolia. All post cranial skeletal elements were assessed for signs of healed trauma and identified cases were further x-rayed. Crude trauma prevalence (14/110, 12.7%) was not significantly different between males (8/52) and females (5/37) (χ2 = 0.061, p = 0.805). Nor were there significant differences in the prevalence of fractured limbs, although males displayed greater rates of lower limb bone trauma than females. Further, distinct from females, half the injured males suffered vertebral fractures, consistent with high-energy trauma. The first hypothesis is supported, while some support for the sexual divisions of labour was found. The prevalence and pattern of fractured limbs at CCN when compared with other Southeast and East Asian sites is most similar to the agropastoral site of Lamadong, China. The potential for skeletal trauma to assess animal trapping and herding practices prior to domestication in the past is discussed., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Abstract

Southeast Asia is home to rich human genetic and linguistic diversity, but the details of past population movements in the region are not well known. Here, we report genome-wide ancient DNA data from 18 Southeast Asian individuals spanning from the Neolithic period through the Iron Age (4100 to 1700 years ago). Early farmers from Man Bac in Vietnam exhibit a mixture of East Asian (southern Chinese agriculturalist) and deeply diverged eastern Eurasian (hunter-gatherer) ancestry characteristic of Austroasiatic speakers, with similar ancestry as far south as Indonesia providing evidence for an expansive initial spread of Austroasiatic languages. By the Bronze Age, in a parallel pattern to Europe, sites in Vietnam and Myanmar show close connections to present-day majority groups, reflecting substantial additional influxes of migrants., (Copyright © 2018 The Authors, some rights reserved; exclusive licensee American Association for the Advancement of Science.
