Environmental and Social Change in Northeast Thailand during the Iron Age
The Iron Age of Mainland Southeast Asia began in the fifth centurybcand lasted for about a millennium. In coastal regions, the development of trade along the Maritime Silk Road led to the growth of port cities. In the interior, a fall in monsoon rains particularly affected the Mun River valley. This coincided with the construction of moats/reservoirs round Iron Age settlements from which water was channelled into wet rice fields, the production o…
A prehistoric flexed human burial from Pha Phen, Middle Mekong Valley, Laos: Its context in Southeast Asia
This paper describes a human skeleton from a rock-shelter in northeast Laos, dated to ~7000 BP. It was excavated in 2004 and moved en bloc to the Laos National Museum in Vientiane. Here we report observations made from the in situ skeleton. The burial is the largely complete but slightly damaged remains of a tall, middle-aged, probable male buried on his side in a flexed position. His teeth were heavily worn and one was infected but otherwise the…
First bioarchaeological evidence of probable scurvy in Southeast Asia: Multifactorial etiologies of vitamin C deficiency in a tropical environment
This paper presents the first bioarchaeological evidence of probable scurvy in Southeast Asia from a six-year-old child at the historic-era site of Phnom Khnang Peung (15-17th centuries A.D.) in the Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia. Examination of skeletal material shows evidence consistent with scurvy - specifically, abnormal porosity on the greater wings of the sphenoid bone and hard palate, and vascular impressions on the ectocranial surface of th…
From the mouths of babes: Dental caries in infants and children and the intensification of agriculture in mainland Southeast Asia
Many bioarchaeological studies have established a link between increased dental caries prevalence and the intensification of agriculture. However, research in Southeast Asia challenges the global application of this theory. Although often overlooked, dental health of infants and children can provide a sensitive source of information concerning health and subsistence change. This article investigates the prevalence and location of caries in the de…
Talon cusp in a deciduous lateral incisor from prehistoric Southeast Asia
This paper describes a rare case of talon cusp in an infant from prehistoric Southeast Asia and represents the earliest case of talon cusp recorded. In addition to talon cusp, other aspects of its morphology may indicate a possible double tooth. This case is interpreted in the context of clinical and bioarchaeological research on this dental trait. Issues pertaining to the recognition of talon cusp, including clinical terminology used for this an…
