Our team is in Jeju Island working with the Jeju Archaeological Research Institute to conduct further fieldwork on our project on the origins of the island’s Neolithic culture. We are gathering shell and soil samples, taking aerial photography of important coastal sites, and conducting survey to look for new sites. It is always pleasure to be here in Jeju, and we are excited to make new discoveries with our colleagues this summer!
