Dr. Tin Htut Aung’s Bio
Dr. Tin Htut Aung is an experienced freelance archaeologist. His doctoral research, conducted at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Okayama University, Japan, investigated the behavioral ecology, subsistence strategies, and lithic technology of prehistoric forager communities in Myanmar’s central belt and Shan plateau. This research explored patterns across these key aspects of prehistoric life. He has contributed to significant explorations and excavations at cave and open-air sites in Myanmar such as Badahlin Caves, Gu Myaung, Htam Tim, Kyeeyoegone and Letpanchaybaw, revealing Upper Paleolithic and Neolithic occupations. Moreover, he joined the excavations at a Kofun period keyhole-shaped burial mound, known as Tsukura mound in Okayama prefecture, and a prehistoric site namely Iwabushi in Totori Prefecture, Japan. Dr. Tin Htut Aung’s expertise extends to a wide range of material analysis, encompassing rock art, site use patterns, and lithic artifacts, and moving through time to mural paintings and sculptures from ancient through historical Myanmar. He specializes in the interconnected fields of prehistoric, landscape, and historical archaeology. Currently, his research is focused on the ancient hydro-cultural landscape of Upper Myanmar, examining the complex relationship between water resources and cultural development in the past.
