abstract: Archaeology in Lopburi Province has been under long-term development since the 1970s and led to discovery of Khao Wang Prachan Valley (KWPV) as one three currently known primary copper production (mining smelting) sites Southeast Asia. However, 1980s, archaeometallurgical research focused mainly on two Non Pa Wai (NPW) Nil Kham Haeng (NKH), dated from Neolithic (ca. 1800 B.C.) Early Iron Age 2300 B.C.), that are have large sequences archaeological material linked production....
abstract: Since its late 1970s to early 1980s discovery, the Khao Wong Prachan Valley (KWPV) of central Thailand has been assumed have a major supplier copper in Bronze Age, Iron and Early Historic Southeast Asia. KWPV was first regional metal production system be characterised by lead isotope (LI) analysis 2000s, revealing coherent signature easily distinguished from subsequent analyses systems at Phu Lon (northern Thailand) Vilabouly Complex (central Laos). Despite KWPV’s scale production,...
Gold and silver production was of major importance for almost all ancient societies but has been rarely studied archaeologically. Here we present a reconstruction previously undocumented technology used to recover gold, lead at the site Baojia in Jiangxi province, China dated between 7th 13th centuries AD. Smelting mixture sulphidic gossan ores relatively low temperature furnace under mildly reducing conditions, process involved use metallic iron reduce sulphide metal, which acted as...
Abstract A large number of ancient remnants from the Angkor kingdom 15th–19th centuries are widely observable across present day north‐eastern Thailand and Cambodia. Archaeologically, these features represent communities were possibly connected according to various socioeconomic reasons. In order reconstruct route human mobility between remains, geographic information system (GIS)‐based least cost path (LCP) analysis was employed along Angkor–Phimai route. By recognizing parameters, 292...

In this study, the possibility of directly dating archaeometallurgical slags is assessed.The enormous slag heaps distributed in Ban Kruat district, Buriram Province, Thailand, have been interpreted as one most prominent sites Mainland Southeast Asia.Therefore, five samples were collected from topmost level two heaps.The X-ray diffraction measurement each revealed existence quartz minerals, which conceptually useful to luminescence dating.Based on optically stimulated (OSL) measurements,...
Ban Ta Po is located in the Kao Subdistrict within an area that Thai-Danish Expedition uncovered famous Neolithic Culture 1960. The two-season excavation 2018 and 2020 discovered 17 burials dated to Bronze age. analysis of these individuals were buried there mostly infants children. Two children appeared with some disease lesions on bones like porous cranium, a carious tooth related localized enamel hypoplasia, femoral bowing. All possibly indicate metabolic bone caused by nutrition deficiency.
