Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the prehistoric site of Ban Chiang, this book examines its significance in reshaping the narrative of Thai origins and national heritage, traditionally tied to Buddhism and monarchy. It delves into issues of cultural preservation, the ethics of collecting, and the impact of heritage tourism on the antiquities market in Asia. By analyzing Ban Chiang, the work challenges existing models of indigenous development and Indianization, prompting a reevaluation of the boundaries between prehistory and history in Southeast Asia.
