A Review of Bioarcheological Investigations in Iron Age Cambodia
Archeological research within Cambodia is quite extensive, with significant projects led by both Cambodian archeologists and international researchers alike. Many of these projects have uncovered human skeletal remains. This article reviews archeological human skeletal studies in Cambodia, synthesizing published and unpublished data, primarily from the Iron Age (500 bce –500 ce ) across Angkor and the northwest and southeast regions. This synthes…
The Impact of Clubfoot
A detailed study of a young adult male burial from Bronze Age Thailand has revealed a series of significant pathological lesions, which, when contextualized in time and place, allow for insights not only into the life of this young man but also his community. Burial 671, represented by a near complete, well-preserved skeleton and a range of grave goods, was dated to 900–700 B.C. from the northeastern Thailand site of Ban Non Wat. Using the Bioarc…

Sedimentary Landscape of Mun Valley Prehistoric Site
This research examines the sedimentological evidence of human occupation on different cultural layers at the prehistoric archaeological sites in northeast Thailand. This study focuses on the sedimentological characters of stratigraphic layers identified at the prehistoric occupation sites of Ban Non Wat and Nong Hua Raet, to demonstrate the capacity of such analyses to elucidate the modification of sediments by past anthropogenic activity, and ev…
A Bioarchaeological Study of Trauma at Late Iron Age to Protohistoric Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand
The Late Iron Age to early historic period site of Non Ban Jak (ca. fourth to eighth centuries A.D.), in the Upper Mun River Valley, northeast Thailand, provides one of the largest and best preserved skeletal samples from an important period of change in social and technological complexity in prehistoric Southeast Asia. This study assessed the patterning of individual-level trauma prevalence and long bone fracture rates in this community to deter…
Laos' central role in Southeast Asian copper exchange networks
Social responses to climate change in Iron Age north-east Thailand
New evidence from archaeological investigations in north-east Thailand shows a transition in rice farming towards wetland cultivation that would have facilitated greater yields and surpluses. This evidence, combined with new dates and palaeoclimatic data, suggests that this transition took place in the Iron Age, at a time of increasingly arid climate, and when a number of broader societal changes become apparent in the archaeological record. For …

Implications of phytolith and diatom assemblages in the cultural layers of prehistoric archaeological sites of Ban Non Wat and Nong Hua Raet in Northeast Thailand
Implications of phytolith and diatom assemblages in the cultural layers of prehistoric archaeological sites of Ban Non Wat and Nong Hua Raet in Northeast Thailand
The Mun River valley is an imortant prehistoric archaeological region in Northeast Thailand and represents a rich and long period of occupation spanning two millennia during the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron ages. Extensive archaeological investigation provides a rich picture of the day-to-day life of the inhabitants of the many sites scattered throughout the region
Sites, survey, and ceramics
Our understanding of the transition from the last centuries of prehistory to the Pre-Angkorian period in northeast Thailand has been limited by a lack of projects bridging both periods. This article examines settlement patterns of the first to the ninth centuries CE in the Upper Mun River Valley based on recent (2012–14) surveys. The findings highlight the gradual settlement trends in the region, with a focus on local modification rather than the…
