• 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/

  • 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 the Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology, 21 September 2022: New paper by Plutniak et al. presenting a chronology for human settlement in Borneo.

In recent decades, East Borneo has become an increasingly important archaeological “hot-spot” in Island Southeast Asia as a result of early dates for rock art ca. 38,000 BP and the greater number of excavated sites that support a much longer period of human occupation. However, the chronology of settlement and adaptation to environmental changes during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition is still poorly known. Here we report on an excavation at the Liang Abu rock shelter which has contexts dating from the Late Pleistocene (12,660 ± 58 uncal. BP) to the present day, indicating a terminus ante quem (TAQ) for human occupation at 23,790 BP. We present the results of an attempt to systematically integrate and compare data from Liang Abu and Kimanis, a geographically close site with a previously published sequence. Particular attention is paid to post-depositional issues in tropical settings and to data compatibility, reuse, and reproducibility, relying on open-source software for data processing (R scripts) and Bayesian chronological modeling. Two Bayesian models are built and compared using the ChronoModel software, which can handle outliers and uncertainty (e.g., freshwater reservoir effect). This first inter-site comparison for Borneo results in a new chronology of human settlement and mainland–coastal interactions in East Borneo and paves the way for future regional synthesis.
