  • This week in Southeast Asian Archaeology: Sulawesi just delivered a headline-grabbing ~67,800-year-old hand-stencil date, Huế’s Imperial Citadel restoration has revealed a trilingual astronomical mural, and Malaysia’s new Guar Kepah Archaeological Gallery opens with the “Penang Woman” at centre stage.

  • New week, new reads: a “Southwestern Silk Road” model for amber into Han China, the biggest Austroasiatic genomic dataset yet (with Dvaravati/Angkor-era signals), plus rock art methods and fresh motifs from Malaysia and Laos. Molecules, motifs, and migration stories — all in one roundup.

  • New year, new (very full) newsletter From Java Man coming home to Jakarta to Khmer sculptures heading back to Cambodia and a bleak month on the Thai–Cambodian border, catch up on a whole month of Southeast Asian archaeology: https://bit.ly/4syuWJh
  • This week’s Southeast Asian Archaeology newsletter is all about the invisible infrastructure of knowledge — the stuff behind the sites. We look at Cambodia’s push to access the late Emma Bunker’s notebooks as a potential roadmap to looted Khmer art, a Thanh Hóa village communal house where 47 imperial edicts were quietly stashed in bamboo tubes for centuries, and Jingdezhen’s “ceramic gene bank” in China, where millions of sherds and glaze recipes are treated like DNA for porcelain. From roof beams to databases, it’s a reminder that archives, records and lab data shape what we think we know about the past just as much as temples and shipwrecks do. Plus the usual mix of regional news, grants, jobs and heritage politics — link in bio/newsletter below.

  • Southeast Asia’s past is on tour this week — from Bangkok’s royal treasures in Beijing’s Palace Museum to Cham sculptures in Đà Nẵng, Khmer–Chinese exchanges in Phnom Penh, and 14th-century Temasek sherds greeting commuters in a Singapore MRT station. 

In the latest Southeast Asian Archaeology newsletter, a look at how exhibitions are carrying the region’s history into train platforms, diplomatic halls and hands-on museum workshops, plus what this means for soft power, heritage policy and public archaeology. US readers will also spot a small Thanksgiving note of gratitude to the people and institutions who keep these stories alive.

via The Cloud, 09 March 2023: The Thai Ministry of Culture organised a cultural trip for members of the diplomatic corps to Udon Thani and Nong Bua Lamphu provinces in Thailand with an  opportunity to visit World Heritage sites and inspect local arts, artifacts, cuisines, and folk wisdom. Article is in Thai.

The Exclusive Cultural Trip for Members of Diplomatic Corps เป็นการเดินทางพิเศษที่กระทรวงวัฒนธรรมจัดขึ้น เพื่อให้เหล่าทูตานุทูตที่อยู่ในประเทศไทยได้รู้จักกับวัฒนธรรมไทยตามภูมิภาคต่าง ๆ รวมถึงได้กระชับมิตรระหว่างหน่วยงานภาครัฐของไทยกับสถานทูตในหลายประเทศด้วย

ทริปแบบนี้มีจัดอยู่เป็นประจำ แต่นี่คือการกลับมาจัดเป็นครั้งแรกหลังจากงดไปช่วงโควิด จึงมีทูตานุทูตมาร่วมถึง 47 คน จาก 24 ประเทศ พอรวมเจ้าหน้าที่ สื่อมวลชน และผู้เชี่ยวชาญ เข้าไปด้วยแล้ว ทริปนี้จึงน่าจะมีสมาชิกอยู่เกือบ 100 ชีวิต ซึ่งเจ้าหน้าที่กระทรวงวัฒนธรรมคนหนึ่งถึงกับออกปากว่า เป็นทริปที่มีสมาชิกเยอะเป็นประวัติการณ์

เราเดินทางกันด้วยรถบัสใหญ่ 2 คันและรถตู้อีก 3 คัน ท่องเที่ยวลัดเลาะในจังหวัดอุดรธานี หัวเมืองใหญ่ของอีสานตอนบน แล้วก็เอื้อมไปเยือนหนองบัวลำภู จังหวัดเล็ก ๆ ที่อยู่ติดกันด้วยอีกหน่อย อากาศช่วงที่เราไปเยือนกำลังสบาย แดดจ้าพอให้ถ่ายรูปสวย มีอากาศเย็นบาง ๆ ตามประสาปลายฤดูหนาว

ในทริปนี้เราไปดูพิพิธภัณฑ์ 2 แห่ง คือ พิพิธภัณฑ์เมืองอุดรธานีและพิพิธภัณฑ์บ้านเชียง ไปเยือนวิสาหกิจชุมชนอีก 2 แห่ง คือ บ้านโนนกอกและศูนย์การเรียนรู้ขวัญตา ไปเที่ยวอุทยานประวัติศาสตร์ภูพระบาท ที่รัฐบาลไทยกำลังยื่นเสนอขึ้นบัญชีมรดกโลกด้วย
