Reuniting orphaned cargoes: Recovering cultural knowledge from salvaged and dispersed underwater cultural heritage in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its core, was the epicentre of the most extraordinary expansion of global trade ever witnessed along the Maritime Silk Route. But this story is incomplete because many objects of trade, and the shipwrecks from which they originated, were salvaged and dispersed without adequate archaeological recording of the details of their find-spots. This article critically assesses the prevailing legislative and ethical lands…
Doctoral Student Experience: The Supervisors’ Perspective
This research considers the perceptions of doctoral supervisors relating to their experience of supervising students within a single case study university in the United Kingdom (UK). A survey of supervisors was undertaken that elicited quantitative and qualitative data, which were analysed and compared with the responses from postgraduate research students from the same institution, obtained through the annual national postgraduate research exper…
An innovative framework for higher education to evaluate learning gain: A case study based upon the discipline of marketing
The value for money of UK undergraduate degree courses is under increasingly critical scrutiny. Understanding the level of learning achieved by students on any particular course has therefore become of paramount importance as an indicator of teaching quality. The change to the learning that a student undertaking a course has acquired can be expressed as being their ‘learning gain’ and this paper applies a course level lens to investigate this usi…
The evolution of agro-urbanism: A case study from Angkor, Cambodia
The vast agro-urban settlements that developed in the humid tropics of Mesoamerica and Asia contained both elite civic-ceremonial spaces and sprawling metropolitan areas. Recent studies have suggested that both local autonomy and elite policies facilitated the development of these settlements; however, studies have been limited by a lack of detail in considering how, when, and why these factors contributed to the evolution of these sites. In this…
Glass artifacts at Angkor: Evidence for Exchange
Life goes on: Archaeobotanical investigations of diet and ritual at Angkor Thom, Cambodia (14th–15th centuries CE)
This is the first time an archaeobotanical analysis based on macroremains, both charred and desiccated, from Cambodia is reported. The archaeobotanical samples are rich and provide evidence of rice processing, consumption of non-indigenous pulses, and the use of economic crops. The evidence is supported by data from inscriptions, texts and historical ethnography. This study demonstrates that the city of Angkor in the 14th and 15th centuries CE, d…
Khmer decorative lintels and the allocation of artistic labour
De l'établissement de modestes sanctuaires de village à ceux de colossaux monuments d'état, l'entreprise d'édification des temples d'Angkor a exigé une grande variété de spécialistes. Peu d'études ont suffisamment considéré ces structures du point de vue des hommes qui les ont construites - les artisans et artistes presque tous anonymes qui ont érigé les structures et taillé les bas-reliefs et l'ornementation architecturale. L'épigraphie ne peut …
Ideals and Architects: Khmer Temple Pyramids (Eighth to Eleventh Century)
The Khmer temple pyramid— a worldly manifestation of Mount Meru, abode of the gods— is unique to medieval Khmer architecture and among its most intriguing architectural forms. A comparative analysis of the proportions of nine temple pyramids built between the eighth and eleventh century has revealed a remarkable and thus far unrecognised similarity. The operation of a proportional schema, applied across four hundred years to the design and constr…
