  • 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.

100kg of ancient Chinese coins unearthed in Vietnam
[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]

07 September 2007 (Thanh Nien News) – A cache of 16th-18th century Chinese coins buried in a jar was unearthed in the Quang Tri Province.

Chinese ancient coins unearthed in central Vietnam

The museum of central Quang Tri province has acquired a jar containing Chinese ancient coins which was found by a group of local residents.

The museum deputy director, Le Duc Tho said Thursday that these farmers, from the Hai Quy commune, Hai Lang district, happened upon the jar and the coins while working.

The artifacts weight approximately 100 kilograms. Everything is intact except for the upper part of the jar, which was broken upon discovery.

Tho confirmed the Chinese coins are dated in the 16th to the 18th century.

While many kinds of Vietnamese and Chinese ancient coins have been discovered in Quang Tri, particularly in Gio Linh and Trieu Phong communes, in recent years, this was the first time this type of jar had been found intact.
