Kuei-chen Lin is an assistant research fellow/professor at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. She received her PhD degree from UCLA in 2013. Her research focuses on craft production and its relationships to social complexity during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age in the southwestern China, especially how multiple social groups managed their tensions and social conditions through craft and ritual activities. She is interested in identifying the presence of diverse social groups, for example, through divisions of space, technological traditions, and subsistence and dietary patterns. Recently, she also conducted archaeological survey concerning the settlement patterns of the Bunun people in the mountain areas of Taiwan.
