  • 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

  • A cocktail is an unlikely candidate for an archaeology-based feed, but it turns out that the iconic Singapore Sling of the Long Bar at @raffleshotelsingapore  was a favourite of Dutch prehistorian van Stein Callenfels. No doubt, lithics work makes one thirsty. #singaporesling #rafffleshotel #longbar #indonesianarchaeology #malaysianarchaeology #singaporearchaeology #pietervansteincallenfels #southeastasianarchaeology #travelsingapore #visitsingapore #singaporetourism #singapore #cocktails

For those who haven’t tried it, the Singapore Sling is essentially a boozy fruit punch. It was also designed for the ladies but I guess that didn’t stop Ivan the Terrible!
  • After several false starts due to the year-end supply chain disruptions I finally got my hands on my colouring book! Link in Bio. Some of my earlier drawings are cruder than the later ones but overall happy with the final product. Thanks everyone who supported this book! If you bought a copy, it would help greatly if you left a review on Amazon. Some of my Buy Me a Coffee members will be getting a copy soon :) #southeastasianarchaeology #coloringbook #weekendproject #patronreward

via The Star, 30 July 2022: The government wants to change the name of Melaka’s St Paul’s Hill, a colonial church site, but some say that this is a political attempt to erase the identity of local Christians.

The local Portuguese community is able to accept the renaming of St Paul Hill to Bukit Melaka, if it is based on authentic historical evidence, says an activist.

Save the Portuguese action committee chairman Martin Theseira said anecdotal and imaginary pieces should not be used to rename a historic site.

“Sadly, the move to rename St Paul Hill is seen as politically motivated and not based on authentic history.

“My community wouldn’t object to the renaming of the hill if it is based on the actual Melaka history,” he said when interviewed on Saturday (July 30).
