• 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

via National Geographic Indonesia, 10 September 2022: Very sad to report the passing of Dr Pindi Setiawan, the Indonesian rock art researcher who was involved with many rock art discoveries over the past few dacades. Dr Pindi was one of the greats in the field, and he will be missed by his friends and colleagues. The Nat Geo story linked below is in Bahasa Indonesia.

Bulan berikutnya, majalah ini menggelar kegiatan terkait kisah gambar cadas Kalimantan di sebuah pusat perbelanjaan di Jakarta Selatan. Saya yang begitu lugu, menyimak pemaparan ahli gambar cadas dan mengikuti lokakarya cap tangan ala manusia prasejarah. Acara itu bertajuk “Rock Art Exhibition”

Pindi turut memopulerkan penggunaan frasa “gambar cadas” sebagai padanan frasa bahasa Inggris “rock art.’

Saat itu saya bangga bisa berkesempatan sebagai peserta dan berkenalan dengan Pindi Setiawan, ahli gambar cadas dari Fakultas Seni Rupa dan Desain di Institut Teknologi Bandung, nama yang turut disebut Luc dalam kisahnya.

Semenjak itu pula saya berminat tentang tema budaya prasajarah dan migrasi manusia. Seberapa banyak peserta dan pembaca semacam saya yang terinspirasi misi National Geographic Indonesia?

Tradisi gambar cadas merupakan tradisi manusia prasejarah dalam menyampaikan pesan melalui gambar. Di dunia, sangat jarang peneliti gambar cadas yang mempunyai pengalaman menemukan situs-situs baru. Namun, Indonesia memiliki cerita lain. Sebagian situs-baru bermunculan sekitar dua dekade belakangan.
