ANA begins excavation of potentially unique ceramic kiln

via Phnom Penh Post, 4 February 2022: Excavations at a kiln site in Angkor Thom.

A team from the Angkor International Centre of Research and Documentation under APSARA National Authority (ANA) this week began excavating a ceramic kiln northwest of the Angkor Thom temple complex’s Dei Chhnang Gate (northern gate), ANA said in a statement on February 3.

The centre’s deputy director, Tin Tina said in the statement that his team had found another ceramic kiln in the same area in late 2019, following an excavation at an ancient mound called Tuol Trapaing Boss.

While other such kilns found in the Angkor area – including Tani, Khnar, Po Si and Anlong Thom – tend to have similar dimensions, the one discovered in 2019 was “almost round, with a diameter of 2m and a length of 3m”, he said.
