Abstract
The idea of a 'people without history' is an old one. Although not always expressed in Wolf's language, the notion that non-agricultural societies were relativelly static, timeless and 'outside' history is ancient (Trigger 2006). Within Island Southeast Asia (ISEA), such concepts and notions of history have been reinforced by the farming-language dispersal hypothesis (Diamond and Bellwood 2003; Bellwood 2005), namely, the out-of-Taiwan modeal, and a related concept, the spread of the Island southeast Asian Neolithic (Spriggs 2007).
