Dans le cadre des colloques consacrés au Néolithique cette 16e manifestation qui s'est déroulée en 1989, « année de l'archéologie », a eu pour objectif de s'adresser à un public plus large qu'à l’accoutumée. Elle a cherché à privilégier l'exposé des acquis récents sur la vie quotidienne, qu'il s'agisse des modes d'habitat, de l'alimentation, de l'environnement, des techniques de la céramique, de l'os ou de la pierre. Si le spécialiste peut trouver dans ces actes d'importantes mises au point, comme la caractérisation tant attendue du groupe de Blicquy, le lecteur curieux de préhistoire peut aussi y découvrir l'impact de l'Homme sur la forêt méditerranéenne ou l'Ouest armoricain et, entre autres, un panorama de l'industrie osseuse jusqu'à l'âge du Bronze. Cette approche diversifiée témoigne du dynamisme et de la qualité des recherches actuelles sur le Néolithique. Within the framework of conferences dedicated to the neolithic period, the 16th meeting which took place in 1989 (Archaeology Year), was oriented towards the general public rather than professionals. It was organised to expose recent results of research on daily life, in particular settlements, food production, the environment, techniques concerning ceramic production and the working of bone and lithic material. If specialists can find in these important publications precisions such as the caracterisation of the Blicquy group, the non-specialist can discover the impact of man on the mediterranean forest and the environment of western Armonica; and amongst others, a panorama of the bone industry up to the Bronze age. This diversified approach is a witness to the dynamism ans the quality of recent research on the Neolithic.

Since its publication in 1985, Peter Bellwood's Prehistory of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago has been hailed as the sole authoritative work on the subject by the leading expert in the field. Now that work has been fully revised and includes a complete up-to-date summary of the archaeology of the region (and relevant neighboring areas of China and Oceania), as well as a comprehensive discussion of new and important issues (such as the "Eve-Garden of Eden" hypothesis and its relevance to the Indo-Malaysian region) and recent advances in macrofamily linguistic classification. Moving north to south from northern Peninsular Malaysia to Timor and west to east from Sumatra to the Moluccas, Bellwood describes human prehistory from initial hominid settlement more than one million years ago to the eve of historical Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic cultures of the region. The archaeological record provides the central focus, but chapters also incorporate essential information from the paleoenvironmental sciences, biological anthropology, linguistics, and social anthropology. Bellwood approaches questions about past cultural and biological developments in the region from a multidisciplinary perspective. Historical issues given extended treatment include the significance of the Homo erectus populations of Java, the dispersal of the present Austronesian-speaking peoples of the region within the past 4,000 years, and the spread of metallurgy since 500 B.C. Bellwood also discusses relationships between the prehistoric populations of the archipelago and those of neighboring regions such as Australia, New Guinea, and mainland Asia.
