  • 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.
