This chapter summarizes the chronology, technology and contexts of earthenwares recovered from Cambodia's archaeological sites. It compares Cambodian archaeological ceramics with those found elsewhere in mainland Southeast Asia, and identifies directions for future research.

Earthenware Ceramic Technologies of Angkor Borei Cambodia2019 •
This paper explores the technology of earthenware ceramic traditions from the archaeological site of Angkor Borei (Takeo Province, Cambodia). Excavations at the Angkor Borei site from 1996-2000 by the Lower Mekong Archaeological Project produced a well-dated chronological sequence of locally-manufactured earthenware ceramics that spans the period from c. 5 00 BCE – 200 CE. Here we review the range of earthenware technological traditions reflected in the excavated archaeological, and focus in detail on the technology and geochemistry ceramics recovered from an excavation trench into the southern edge of the Vat Komnou mound, located in the central section of the community’s lower segment. We use a technologie approach to contrast a localized geochemical signature in the Angkor Borei ceramic assemblage with particular morphological and production-related characteristics that reveal broader technological traditions through cultural transmission. In some cases, and at some points in the sequence, aspects of the Angkor Borei earthenware ceramic assemblage echo technological traditions encompass much of the Lower and Middle Mekong regions in which protohistoric populations interacted.

Polities in the Mekong delta played a central role in regional developments between 500 BC and AD 500. Documentary data suggest the delta reached its political apex during the 3rd through 7th centuries. What were the roots of early polities in this region, and what was their organization? Research by the Lower Mekong Archaeological Project seeks to answer these questions through field investigations in southern Cambodia. Excavations at the ancient capital of Angkor Borei suggest a continuous occupation of the area from the 4th century BC onwards; the timing, development and nature of interregional networks are now under study. This presentation describes some results of research at Angkor Borei, and discusses ongoing research on the

Landscapes, Linkages and Luminescence: First-Millennium CE Environmental and Social Change in Mainland Southeast Asia2021 •
Conventional Southeast Asian scholarship uses documentary sources and art history to explain the origins of first millennium CE developments, when temple-anchored Brahmanic and Buddhist religions, international trade networks, and the region’s earliest cities emerged. Geopolitical factors and regional intellectual paradigms partly explain why archaeological research lags behind epigraphy and art history for interpreting Early Southeast Asia. Yet findings from recent landscape-based archaeological research complicate interpretations in novel and important ways. This paper blends archaeological and historical research from protohistoric and pre-Angkorian Cambodia as a springboard for discussing the first millennium CE developments across mainland Southeast Asia. Studying sites, water features, statuary, ceramics and beads helps us understand how Southeast Asians drew from a South Asian idiom to forge ritual-political landscapes, establish local identities, and cohere populations into several of the region’s earliest states.

Transition to the Pre-Angkorian period (300–500 CE): Thala Borivat and a regional perspective2016 •
Archaeological data over the past two decades have contributed to our understanding of the transition into the historic period in Southeast Asia and rebutted outdated models of externally stimulated complex polity formation. This article investigates the transition into the Pre-Angkorian period 300–500 CE based on a model constructed using archaeological data from Thala Borivat, Cambodia. Data from Thala Borivat suggest a pattern of continuity where smaller proto-historic settlements may have become incorporated c.300–500 CE into larger ones which became major Pre-Angkorian centres. This phenomenon coincided with evidence of increasing inter- and intra-regional interaction following the proto-historic period. This article argues that the model can be used to reinterpret the pattern observed in major Pre-Angkorian centres in the Mekong Delta and northeast Thailand. This pattern is complemented by the spatial correlation between the chronometrically-anchored ceramic traditions in proto-historic and early historic period Cambodia that suggests the continuity of local communities. Spatial correlation between prehistoric sites and inscriptions recording Pre-Angkorian elites, particularly the poñ, mratāñ, and kings provides similar patterns of continuity between the elites of the late proto-historic to the Pre-Angkorian periods.
Social Theory in Archaeology and Ancient History: The Present and Future of Counternarratives
Inscribing Legitimacy and Building Power in the Mekong DeltaAt its apex, the Khmer empire was Southeast Asia’s largest and most influential civilization: its civilizational reach stretched across several of today’s nation-states, and its core contained one of the world’s largest pre-industrial urban complexes. The roots of 9th-14th century Angkorian civilization appeared in the Mekong delta more than a millennium before Jayavarman II declared himself the universal Khmer monarch in 802 CE. At the start and to the south was the early polity that 3rd century Chinese emissaries called Funan, and that contained urban centers, walled palaces, libraries, and rulers. The earliest Khmer writing appears in the 7th century in this region, or nearly four centuries after the Han Chinese reports of Funan. By the 7th century, Khmer elite inscribed their legitimacy onto brick shrines and temples they commissioned to honor Indic gods across the delta’s landscape. Elite sponsorship of the construction and maintenance of ritual spaces required wealth; so did their support for ritual practices at these places, which materialized order that structured pre-Angkorian society. The rise of the pre-Angkorian Khmer state occurred during a period of fluctuating international trade in goods and ideas, and previous models have emphasized international trade as the catalyst for early state formation. This chapter studies early state formation instead through the development of the Mekong Delta’s 6th-8th century monumental art and architecture. Brick constructions, their dedicatory inscriptions, and the statuary they housed created symbols of cultural commonality that linked formerly autonomous communities into coherent regional systems. The Lower Mekong Archaeological Project survey area includes the early urban center of Angkor Borei. Research described here emphasizes archaeological patterning in social power to offer Southeast Asian perspectives on the articulation between ideology and social order in early states.
