  • For readers in Bangkok - if you’re free on Thursday (16 August), I’m giving a talk at The Siam Society about the Invisible Paintings of Angkor Wat. It’s the same talk I gave at the @acmsg earlier this year. The Siam Society is located in Asok, and the lecture begins at 7.30 pm. Small admission fee applies, but is free for students. #cambodia #angkorwat #invisiblepaintings #unescoworldheritage #thailand #bangkok #lecture #siamsociety #khmer #temple #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #architecture #art #igbangkok #culture #history #travelcambodia #ancientarchitecture #archaeology #archeology #culturetrip #cambodiaarchaeology #ruins #heritage #cambodiatourism #archaeologicalsite #ancientcity #siemreap #culturalheritage #southeastasia
  • The My Son Sanctuary in Vietnam is one of the more underrated ancient temple sites in Southeast Asia. It’s a complex of brick temples built between the 4-13th centuries set in the foothills of a small mountain. It’s a World Heritage site worth visiting! #vietnam #myson #mysonsanctuary #unescoworldheritage #champa #quangnam #danang #hoian #hindu #temple #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #architecture #ancientarchitecture #igvietnam #culture #history #travelvietnam #ancientarchitecture #archaeology #archeology #culturetrip #vietnamarchaeology #ruins #heritage #vietnamtourism #archaeologicalsite #ancientcity #centralvietnam #culturalheritage #southeastasia
  • Angkor Wat in 2007 - there still were monkeys roaming the halls. This was up in the Bakan or the central tower of the temple. Why so sad monkey?

  • Seeing @adityarevianur posts around the historic city of Melaka inspired me to ‘dig’ (haha) up this photo of the Frederick Hendrick bastion excavation in 2008. These ruins were found during some road construction, and as it turns out it was a bastion that defended the Malacca fort. It is dated to the Dutch period of the 17-18th century, although it was built over the earlier Portuguese fortification. #malaysia #melaka #malacca #unescoworldheritage #bastion #urbanarchaeology #fort #fortification #frederickhendrickbastion #eastindiacompany #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #oldtown #laterite #scalemodel #culture #history #fieldwork #excavation #archaeology #archeology #historicalsite #travelmalaysia #malaysiaarchaeology #heritage #dutchfort #archaeologicalsite #jabatanwarisan #preservation #culturalheritage #southeastasia
  • What is this? An Angkor Wat for ants?! No, not quite - and it’s not in Cambodia either. This is a model of Angkor Wat, commissioned by King Mongkut (Rama IV) in the 19th century. You can see it in the Grand Palace of Bangkok. If you’ve been to Angkor Wat before you can see that the base tier is a lot higher than normal - in real life you don’t have to climb the stairs that high to reach the outer gallery wall. #thailand #angkorwat #itsonlyamodel #zoolanderreference #temple #grandpalace #bangkok #angkor #cambodia #ramaiv #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #art #sculpture #scalemodel #culture #history #siam #watphrakaew #emeraldbuddha #ministryofculturethailand #historicalsite #travelthailand #thailandarchaeology #heritage #siam #archaeologicalsite #heritage #preservation #culturalheritage #southeastasia
  • Damaged wall mural from Wat Phuttaisawan in Ayutthaya, Thailand. I think it’s a Chinese junk. This particular hall is covered with murals but most of it is damaged by rainwater and restoration work is both painstaking and costly which is why it’s not done. #thailand #ayutthaya #watphutthaisawan #wallmural #temple #painting #ship #junk #boat #maritime #southeastasianarchaeology . . . . . #art #restoration #conservation #culture #history #ancienthailand #maritimehistory #fineartsdepartment #ministryofculturethailand #historicalsite #travelthailand #thailandarchaeology #heritage #siam #archaeologicalsite #heritage #preservation #culturalheritage #southeastasia
  • For those of you just tuning in... this account is an extension of the Southeast Asian Archaeology Newsblog (www.SoutheastAsianArchaeology.com) which I’ve been running since 2006. I mostly post links to news reports about archaeology and cultural heritage in Southeast Asia over there, so if you’re interested, go on and take a look and subscribe to keep informed of the latest news in the region. . . This weekend I did a small redesign to the site so I thought it would be a good opportunity to reintroduce the website and this account. Hope you had a good weekend! #southeastasianarchaeology #southeastasia #archaeology #culturalheritage #website #redesign #weekendproject #olderthantwitter
  • If you’re interested in some current archaeological research in Cambodia, the P’teah (Project Excavating Ancient Households, which is also the Khmer word for house) run by Drs Miriam Stark and Alison Carter (@alisonincambodia) has a website up where you can learn about their work in learning about household archaeology. They just finished a field season in Battambang. #cambodia #pteah #householdarchaeology #angkor #battambang #excavations #projectexcavatingancienthouseholds #fieldwork #archaeologicalsite #prasatbasaet #southeastasianarchaeology . .
