Ban Chiang: Discovery of a Lost Bronze Age

As a result of the recent archaeological discoveries in the Thai village of Ban Chiang, scholars are reevaluating the role of Southeast Asia in prehistory. The pottery and bronze objects unearthed are of surprising antiquity and metallurgical sophistication, and suggest that this region was one of significant innovation and export of Bronze Age technology. This first book on the important archaeological excavations takes a problem-oriented approach. Illustrations, many in color, show the process of discovery at the site as well as the major pieces.

Lang Rongrien Rockshelter was the first site excavated in Thailand to produce a clearly stratified, charcoal-dated late Pleistocene deposit beneath a well-defined Early Holocene Hoabinhian deposit. This volume presents in detail the excavations at Lang Rongrien Rockshelter in the mid-1980s. Anderson uses the evidence excavated as a starting point to reevaluate several issues with respect to Pleistocene/Early Holocene human habitation in Southeast Asia.
