• Dynamite Doug, a podcast by Project Brazen and narrated by @ellewongster , takes a look at the looting of Cambodian cultural heritage by disgraced art dealer Douglas Latchford. Latchford facilitated the looting and sale of numerous Cambodian (and other Southeast Asian) artefacts which ended up in some of the most prestigious museums in the world, including The Met. Looking forward to the next episode!
There are a lot of news stories related to Douglas Latchford, the Pandora Papers, and cultural heritage looting on the website - link in description. #cambodia #looting #antiquitiestrade #dynamitedoug #podcast #archaeology #southeastasianarchaeology
  • It’s been a great week in Laos conducting a training workshop on rock art recording and other archaeological methods for the Department of History and Archaeology at the National University of Laos. The participants, both lecturers and students, were a great bunch to work with, and they picked up the principles really quickly. And as a bonus, we ended up finding more rock art than we originally expected! Looking forward to working with this bunch again in the future! #laos #nuol #fieldschool #xaingnabouli #paklai #rockart #archaeology #laoarchaeology #southeasgasianarchaeology
  • That’s a wrap for today! Learning how to systematically document a rock art site, from theory to practice. Some more data gathering tomorrow, and then putting all the information in the data after! #paklai #rockart #mekong #xayabouli #nuol #laosarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #laos

  • Last month I was at the Si Thep Historical Park in Phetchabun province - a less-known archaeological site, but an impressive one considering the ancient town has remnants dating from prehistoric times until the 13th century CE. Khao Klang Nok is a massive Buddhist stupa dating to the 8th or 9th centuries CE, located outside of the ancient town of Si Thep. I was able to get som cool shots from my drone, check out my post here: https://www.southeastasianarchaeology.com/2022/12/15/drone-flight-over-khao-klang-nok-si-thep-historical-park/

  • Terracotta elephant statue from the pre-Thang Long period, approximately 8-10th century. On display at the museum under the National Assembly Building in Hanoi. #vietnamarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #vietnam #hanoi #thanglong #terracotta #elephant #ceramics #ancientart
  • Earlier this week there was a news article about a Thai archaeologist’s attempt to repatriate a statue that was reportedly looted from Buriram province and now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This is the so-called Golden Boy, taken at the Met last December. The label calls it a Standing Shiva(?) and attributes it to the Cambodia, Siem Reap origin but it may be in fact a representation of Jayavarman Vi. You can see the museum info here: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/39097?ft=khmer&offset=0&rpp=40&pos=3

World Monuments Fund Announces Major Grant from the U.S. Department of State for Work in Ayutthaya, Thailand
World Monuments Fund, 05 February 2013

World Monuments Fund (WMF) President Bonnie Burnham announced today receipt of a grant of $131,800 from the United States State Department’s Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation and the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok for work at Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a Buddhist temple in the historic city of Ayutthaya, Thailand.

Ms. Burnham stated: “Support from the State Department’s Ambassadors Fund will assist the Thai Department of Fine Arts with continuing efforts to protect the site in light of increasingly severe flooding in the region and will advance conservation activities at the temple. In addition to the funds received from the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, WMF has secured support from the Robert W. Wilson Challenge to Conserve Our Heritage toward this project that will provide approximately $330,000 for on-site conservation activities, matching significant commitments from the Thai Government. WMF anticipates that the investment in conservation will have a catalytic effect for generating greater attention to the needs of Ayutthaya’s for the benefit of the community and visitors that value and treasure it.”
