• A piece of impressed pottery at the Nong Ratchawat site in Thailand. I’m out in the field today! With colleagues from @seameospafa, Silpakorn University and the Fine Arts Department filming training videos (more details on those soon). It’s nice to be down in the dirt again... #archaeology #thailand #suphanburi #neolithic #ceramics #nongratchawat #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #fieldwork

  • Entry to Wat Chedi Luang is not much, 40 baht for adults or $US1.30 - but when we entered there was nobody at the booth and the groundskeeper told us to go right in - the lack of tourists meant the inability to pay for ticketing staff. Heritage sites dependent on tourism are taking a beating, like the rest of the industry. We left a small donation to the temple, and at every temple we visited, to help for its upkeep. #covid19 #heritagetourism #archaeotourism #chiangmai #thailand #watchediluang

  • Check out my story for the Night at the Museum event at the Bangkok National Museum - in conjunction with Thai Museums Day on September 19. The museum hosted a tea party with musical and dance performances, followed by guided tours at the galleries. It was a good opportunity to catch the new exhibition ‘San Somdet’ - an exploration of Thai history, archaeology and culture through the correspondence of two princes. #bangkok #thailand #nationalmuseum #nationalmuseumbangkok #nightatthemuseum #sansomdet #thaimuseumday #thaihistory #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology
  • In Chiangmai yesterday and today and most of my trip was concentrated in the old city of Chiangmai. Wat Chedi Luang, located close to the centre of the city, is easily the largest stupa in the area despite it incomplete state. Built at the end of the 14th century and damaged by earthquake in the 15th century, the chedi once housed the Emerald Buddha that had previously resided in Luang Prabang and is now in Bangkok. H/T to @pathsunwritten for his guides to Chiangmai. The history and archaeology of northern Thailand is unfamiliar to me, what else should I visit, during my next trip to Chiangmai?

  • Chedi Chiang Lom, the oldest building in Wat Chiang Man วัดเชียงมั่น, itself the oldest temple in the old city of Chiangmai. The temple was built in 1297, while King Mengrai was building his new city of Chiangmai. The Chedi is similar to Wat Chang Lom in Sukhothai. #วัดเชียงมั่น #chiangmai #chedi #stupa #elephant #thailand #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #lanna #buddhism #oldcity #ancientarchitecture

Areas described under the Chinese Gazatteer of Foreign Lands

Areas described under the Chinese Gazatteer of Foreign Lands

via Shao-yun Yang, Denison University, 06 December 2020: A new translation of the Zhufan Zhi, a 13th century Song Dynasty work describing places in Southeast Asia and beyond. This s a great resource and facinating read with updated annotations, especially since the most recent full translation of this work was in 1911.

The Southeast Asia places mentioned are:

  1. Jiaozhi (Dai Viet)
  2. Zhancheng (Champa)
  3. Bintonglong (Panduranga)
  4. Zhenla (the Khmer Empire)
  5. Dengliumei (Tambralinga)
  6. Pugan (Pagan)
  7. Sanfoqi (Srivijaya)
  8. Danmaling (Tambralinga)
  9. Lingyasijia (Langkasuka)
  10. Foluoan (possibly Phatthalung)
  11. Xintuo (Sunda)
  12. Jianbi (possibly Kampar)
  13. Lanwuli (Lamuri)
  14. Xilan (Sri Lanka)
  15. Shepo (Java)
  16. Yantuoman (the Andaman Islands)
  17. Shahuagong (Zamboanga)
  18. The Maluonu (possibly the Maranao)
  19. Boni (Borneo)
  20. Mayi (Mindoro or Bay)
  21. The Three Islands (Palawan and the Calamian Islands)
  22. Pulilu (Polillo Island)
  23. Liuqiu (Taiwan or Okinawa)
  24. The Pisheye (the Visayans)

This is a complete annotated translation of Part 1 of the Zhufan zhi (Gazetteer of Foreign Lands), an early thirteenth-century ethnographic and geographical description of nearly sixty foreign countries known to the Chinese through maritime trade relations, as well as a couple of imaginary countries that appear to be based on Arab myths.

The Zhufan zhi deserves to be more widely known and studied as a source for medieval Chinese geographical knowledge and perceptions of the outside world. I hope that this new translation will make it accessible and useful to a new generation of researchers.
