  • Descrição: In recent years there has been a fluorescence of new theories, methodologies, and findings about settlement landscapes and the process of urbanisation across Southeast Asia. Numerous important syntheses of the archaeology of Southeast Asia have provided compilations and summaries of site data introducing a wider spectrum of settlement forms than the conventions of village, entrepôt and urbanism have previously encompassed. Using a theoretically- informed multi-scalar approach, this thesis examines Insular Southeast Asia – including the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, the Philippines, Borneo and Western Indonesia – in order to reappraise the relationship between the forms of settlements, trade and the urbanising process in maritime Southeast Asia during the ‘classical’ period. The material archaeology of each site is brought in to a comparative conversation with other sites across the region, reconsidering and reconceptualising a number of theoretical propositions, models and explanatory frameworks, including low-density urbanism, the Bronson settlement model, the role of economic determinants, entrepôts and the importance of ritual in transforming the relationships between humans and their landscapes. Ultimately the multi-scalar analysis goes beyond the iconic image of the ‘faces in the jungle’ to demonstrate the great diversity of the types of settlements that engaged in trade across Insular Southeast Asia in the ‘classical’ period.
