Research and publications

Market scene

The Anthropology programme has maintained active research projects in Archaeology and Social Anthropology since the 1960s. Our primary geographic focus has always been New Zealand, the Pacific and Southeast Asia. We specialise in the broad sweep of human history within this region, from the earliest arrivals of our human ancestors to contemporary patterns of increasing globalisation and diaspora.
