  • Chiang Saen is a Lanna-period town that was controlled by the Burmese and Siamese at different times. Today it sits on the Thai side of the border, near the Golden Triangle separating Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. The walled city was a major centre of Buddhism for the Lanna kingdom, and there are numerous temple ruins to explore.

via Tempo, 16 November 2019: Discovery of the Karawar secondary burial site, a cave niche where human bones are kept in Wondama Bay. The practice of secondary burial was discontinued after the arrival of Christianity in the 19th century. Article is in Bahasa Indonesia.

Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Balai Arkeologi Papua bekerjasama dengan Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Daerah (BP4D) Teluk Wondama, Papua Barat di Pulau Roon, berhasil menemukan situs penguburan prasejarah Karawar.

“Situs Karawar berada di lereng tebing Kampung Syabes, Distrik Roon. Situs Karawar berupa ceruk yang di dalamnya terdapat lima tengkorak dan tulang-tulang manusia,” kata arkeolog Hari Suroto, Sabtu, 16 November 2019.

Menurut Hari, pada masa prasejarah, di Teluk Wondama dikenal dua jenis penguburan yaitu penguburan primer dan penguburan sekunder. Penguburan primer adalah penguburan langsung. Sedangkan artefak tengkorak di Teluk Wondama diduga berasal dari mayat dibaringkan di bangku papan kayu yang berada di tengah hutan. Mayat dibiarkan begitu saja untuk beberapa waktu hingga kulit dan daging mengelupas tinggal tulang.
