Southeast Asia is home to rich human genetic and linguistic diversity, but the details of past population movements in region are not well known. Here, we report genome-wide ancient DNA data from 18 Asian individuals spanning Neolithic period through Iron Age (4100 1700 years ago). Early farmers Man Bac Vietnam exhibit a mixture East (southern Chinese agriculturalist) deeply diverged eastern Eurasian (hunter-gatherer) ancestry characteristic Austroasiatic speakers, with similar as far south...

Thomas Olivier Pryce, Bérénice Bellina-Pryce et Anna T. N. Bennett The development of metal technologies in the Upper Thai-Malay Peninsula: initial interpretation archaeometallurgical evidence from Khao Sam Kaeo En raison de l'insuffisance fouilles dans la partie septentrionale péninsule thaï-malaise, le projet fournit l'occasion d'étudier les des métaux cadre d'un centre proto-urbain participant aux échanges transasiatiques. À l'issue trois saisons fouilles, nous présentons nos observations...
The Khao Wong Prachan Valley of central Thailand is one four known prehistoric loci copper mining, smelting and casting in Southeast Asia. Many radiocarbon determinations from bronze-consumption sites north-east date the earliest copper-base metallurgy there late second millennium BC. By applying kernel density estimation analysis to approximately 100 new AMS dates, authors conclude that valley's first Neolithic millet farmers had settled by c . 2000 BC, initial mining rudimentary began This...
Recent fieldwork by the Industries of Angkor Project (INDAP) has identified first extensive evidence iron production within an Angkorian Khmer (9th to 15th centuries AD) center at Preah Khan Kompong Svay (Preah Khan) in Vihear province, Cambodia. This immense 22-km 2 temple complex appears be outpost settlement situated close proximity Phnom Dek (“Iron Mountain”), richest known source oxide Combined with fact that Khan's architecture dates between late 10th early 13th centuries, period...
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,...
Southeast Asian metallurgical developments have been a focus of international academic interest since Solheim (1968) and Bayard (1972) first published bronze artefacts in claimed early/middle third millennium bce contexts from northeastern Thailand, igniting regional 'origins' metallurgy debate that has smouldered for 40 years (e.g., White Hamilton 2009, Higham press). In this paper, we present the results lead isotope pilot study centred on Khao Wong Prachan Valley central...
The existing Southeast Asian archaeological literature commonly presupposes that the region's extensive laterite deposits are rich in iron and have been used as ore sources for smelting of iron. We summarize what is known about light universal physico-chemical requirements bloomery iron, suggest each instance interpretation an should be proven not assumed. present a case study from fourteenth-to fifteenth-century A.D. site Ban Kao Din Tai, recently excavated by Thai Cambodian archaeologists...
Abstract
In order to carry out strontium (Sr) isotope analysis, glass artefacts from South Asia were sampled with portable laser ablation (pLA), a relatively novel sampling technique that leaves damage invisible the naked eye. Subsequently, thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) was used obtain Sr ratios after sample dissolution and separation. this study, goal twofold: determine whether measurements of impacted by using as tool; assess pertinence provenance Indian glass. Despite deterioration...
The excavation of a number Early Bronze Age sites in the Aegean has recovered perforated ceramic fragments. Archaeometallurgical analysis slag adhering to these fragments indicates that they are remains copper‐smelting furnaces. Despite compelling analytical data supporting this identification, no attempt been made, thus far, establish how unusual furnaces may have operated. use perforations is poorly understood and can be considered counter‐intuitive solution for reduction oxidic copper...
