“…Small fragments of high-fired Chinese ‘tradeware’ ceramics were also recovered during the excavations. Chinese tradewares recovered from archaeological sites across Greater Angkor date primarily from the Northern Song (AD 960–1279) through to the Ming (AD 1368–1644) dynasties (Ea 2005; Cremin 2006). Some particular Chinese production centres, such as the Guangdong kilns, manufacture goods that probably served as diplomatic trade products (Wong 1979), and have been recovered in elite and non-elite contexts throughout the Angkorian realm (Wong 2010).…”

Considerable attention has been devoted to the architecture and art history of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple in the last century. There has, however, been little research on the functions and internal organisation of the large rectangular enclosure surrounding the temple. Such enclosures have long been assumed to have been sacred precincts, or perhaps ‘temple-cities’: work exploring the archaeological patterning for habitation within them has been limited. The results of LiDAR survey and excavation have now revealed evidence for low-density residential occupation in these areas, possibly for those servicing the temple. Recent excavations within the enclosure challenge our traditional understanding of the social hierarchy of the Angkor Wat community and show that the temple precinct, bounded by moat and wall, may not have been exclusively the preserve of the wealthy or the priestly elite.

“…Large quantities of trade ceramics, including a few small Chinese brown-glaze jars, are known during Angkorian period but are typically associated with elite use [96–99]. Because of the variability of archaeological contexts and methods, it is difficult to be precise on this subject, but total ceramic imports including porcelain appear to have increased from around or below ten percent at Angkor [97–99] to around fifteen percent at Longvek [10, 46, 47]. From the 15th century consumers at Longvek had mostly replaced locally produced storage jars with imports.…”

An evaluation of the geochemical characteristics of 102 storage jar sherds by k 0 -neutron activation analysis ( k 0 -NAA) from archaeological contexts in Cambodia and reference samples from stoneware production centres in Thailand provides a new perspective on regional and global trade in mainland Southeast Asia. Identification of seven geochemical groups enables distinctions between production centres, and articulation of their role in trade between northern and central Thailand, South China and Cambodia. Storage jars from Thailand and South China are known in archaeological contexts worldwide because of their durability and intrinsic functional and cultural values. Evidenced by a novel application of k 0 -NAA, analogous stoneware sherds at Longvek connect the Cambodian capital to a global trading network. Additional proof of ceramics from an undocumented Cambodian kiln demonstrates the gradual and complex transition between the Angkorian past and the Early Modern period.
