The project for which I received Tokutei Kadai funding has led to multiple kinds of research outcomes during AY2023. Outcomes include: conference presentations, journal articles, books, and blog posts. One short book was written about each case study. The third book is an edited volume of case studies from the region of focus in the project. Conferences 1. Edwards Jr., D.B.
