Daratan dan Kepulauan Riau dalam Catatan Arkeologi dan Sejarah
Secara geografis, Riau terletak di bagian tengah pantai timur Sumatra, berhadapan dengan Selat Melaka. Pada Juli 2004, kawasan ini secara administratif dibagi menjadi dua, yakni Provinsi Riau yang mencakup daratan utama di Pulau Sumatra, dan Provinsi Kepulauan Riau yang meliputi sekelompok pulau di Selat Malaka antara Sumatra, Kalimantan, dan Semenanjung. Wilayahnya sangat strategis, berada di persimpangan jalur pelayaran-perdagangan dunia, menyebabkan wilayah ini menjadi semacam melting pot kebudayaan berbagai bangsa di dunia: India, Arab, Eropa, dan China.

New Perspectives in Southeast Asian and Pacific Prehistory
‘This volume brings together a diversity of international scholars, unified in the theme of expanding scientific knowledge about humanity’s past in the Asia-Pacific region. The contents in total encompass a deep time range, concerning the origins and dispersals of anatomically modern humans, the lifestyles of Pleistocene and early Holocene Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, the emergence of Neolithic farming communities, and the development of Iron Age societies. These core enduring issues continue to be explored throughout the vast region covered here, accordingly with a richness of results as shown by the authors. Befitting of the grand scope of this volume, the individual contributions articulate perspectives from multiple study areas and lines of evidence. Many of the chapters showcase new primary field data from archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Equally important, other chapters provide updated regional summaries of research in archaeology, linguistics, and human biology from East Asia through to the Western Pacific.’ Mike T.

Fundamentals of Archaeology
"This textbook surveys the techniques, methods, and theoretical frameworks of contemporary prehistoric archaeology. In our presentation we view prehistoric archaeology as an integral part of the larger field of anthropology, conditioned by the historical development, concepts and goals of its parent discipline. While we treat the evolving perspectives of archaeological method and theory, together with their implications for understanding the prehistoric past, the text is not a manifesto for any single doctrine or 'school' within the field. Rather, it seeks to synthesize those aspects of both the 'traditional' and the 'new' archaeology that have contributed significantly to the current status of prehistoric archaeology."--p. ix.
