Do you know this sherd?

March 19th, 2010 noelbynature Posted in Archaeologists, Thailand No Comments »

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, as I was finishing up a lot of work and posts will resume again next Monday (with a lot of catching up to do!). Just a quick query from our Facebook page, posted by Christina Sewall who is looking for information about this ceramic piece:

Christina writes: “I’m studying a certain ceramic piece for my dissertation, and was wondering if anyone had come across anything similar in SE Asia. These were excavated in NE Thailand at Ban Non Wat. If anyone has any ideas what they are, or has seen them in any context (museums, digs, etc.) please get in touch with me. Thanks!” You can get in touch with her by emailing chrsewall [at] tidewater [dot] net.
