演講 III：Phillip Endicott
06 APRIL 23
NTU-EFEO Talk 專題演講
主講人：
Dr. Phillip Endicott（愛沙尼亞塔爾圖大學研究員︑巴黎國立自然歷史博物館）
講題：
Model-free Interdisciplinary Comparisons and Their Application to Island Southeast Asia
日期：
二〇二三年四月十三日（四）下午十二時二十分至兩時十分
地點：
國立臺灣大學水源校區行政大樓人201室
摘要：
There often arises a need in studies of human (pre)history to compare data from across different disciplines because different strands of evidence can contribute to a more informed debate. Most methods employed, however, are strictly qualitative, usually limited to tests of independence between distance-based summary statistics. Many are phylogenetic, tree-based comparisons, but this notion breaks down when there are contact scenarios creating information flow between previously separated groups.Here I present new research on Island Southeast Asia, based on the reconstruction of local genetic ancestries using haplotypes ata regional scale, before introducing two novel methods for joint analysis (model based and model free) and show their application to genetic and linguistic data at a local scale in East Timor. I will explain why the results do not support earlier attemptsfor a synthesis of archaeology, language, and genetics, but offer hope for multiplicative power of combining different types of data in genuine interdisciplinary analysis.
