商品簡介
The first in a series on the origins of the civilization of Angkor, this volume reports on the 1995-96 excavation of the prehistoric settlement of Ban Lum Khao in Northeast Thailand. The book begins with a discussion of the excavation method, the stratigraphic sequence, and chronology, and then examines burials from three mortuary phases during the Bronze Age. Subsequent chapters look at the health and mortality of the prehistoric people of Ban Lum Khao, fish and faunal remains, artifacts, person adornments, pottery vessels, and the social aspects of the cemetery. The text is augmented with numerous diagrams, maps, illustration, charts, photographs, as well as over 50 pages of color plates displaying the ceramic vessels.
