The term Southeast Asia encompasses an environmentally and culturally diverse region. This course will provide an overview of the archaeology of Southeast Asia, exploring the origins and development of Southeast Asian cultural diversity, while also considering the factors and heritage that unite this region. The subject matter of this course is broad, covering a time span from the late Pleistocene/early Holocene to the early second millennium CE. The primary geographic focus includes the modern nations of mainland Southeast Asia: Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

Archaeological sites in Southeast Asia are not well-known outside the region. Many major sites do not have entries on Wikipedia, or the available entries are out of date/incomplete. In this exercise, students will work in small groups to update or create a Wikipedia entry about an important Southeast Asian archaeological site.

Assignment - Respond to your peer review

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:

  • Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
  • Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.
Assignment - Continue improving your article

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

Assignment - Begin moving your work to Wikipedia

Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the "mainspace."

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13
