“…Carbonnel (1979) continued to investigate several of Malleret's identified sites at Memot and Krek and expanded his work to the west of the circular earthwork sites in Cambodia, noting the neolithic layers. A reappraisal of absolute dates for earthwork sites in Cambodia by Albrecht et al (1999;see also Haidle 2000) deduced that they dated from the first millennium BC. Other researchers have suggested the occupation of the earthworks from 3400 BC to historic times (Mourer 1994), while the absolute dates range from 2300 to 300/200 BC (Latinis and Dega 2011).…”

terra australis 42Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.

Reprinted with permission of the National Library of Australia. The excavations at An Sơn were funded by a Discovery Grant from the Australian Research Council. My own research was funded by the Australian Postgraduate Award.The analysis of the ceramic fabrics was conducted with SEM-EDX at the Electron Microscopy Unit at The Australian National University, with guidance from Frank Brink. I would also like to thank Glenn Summerhayes for teaching me the benefits and methods of SEM and the electron microprobe.There are a number of people I would like to recognise for their support over the past few years. Charles Higham has always offered advice and provided useful information over the years, even after departing the University of Otago after my Master's. Nigel Chang initially invited me to Ban Non Wat eight years ago, and allowed me to visit again to review the more recent neolithic discoveries in 2009. Fiorella Rispoli and Roberto Ciarla shared their knowledge of the neolithic in central Vietnam, and Fiorella's wealth of knowledge on ceramics has always been a reference for me. Lâm Thị Mỹ Dung opened up the ceramic collections at the University of Hanoi to me in 2009, which offered some valuable comparative ideas for this monograph. Louise Cort and Joyce White organised a workshop on Southeast Asian ceramics in Washington, DC and Philadelphia in 2010; an event from which I gained much inspiration and I feel privileged to have been a part of it. I would also like to acknowledge those individuals from afar who were interested in my research -it helped to keep the inspiration going, so thanks to Andreas Reinecke, Nishimura Masanari, and those I met at conferences over these past few years.Closer to home, I would like to thank Anna Willis for her knowledge about mortuary ritual at An Sơn. I am also grateful for the new insights into southern Vietnamese archaeology after working alongside Philip Piper at Rạch Núi. Thanks to Judith Cameron who was so supp...

“…These patterns, still under investigation, suggest that first-millennium AD moated mounds in the northern Mekong delta did not serve a predominantly residential function. They thus differ in function and form from documented circular earthwork sites in the "Terre Rouges" area of Kompong Cham and Vietnam (e.g., Albrecht et al 2001;Dega 2002;Kojo and Pheng 1998;Moore 1988Moore , 1990Moore , 1992Moore , 1998.…”

“…Hundreds of large, enclosed, and moated settlements from the first millennium b.c. have been found in several parts of modern-day Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam (Albrecht et al 2000;Dega 1999;Fletcher et al 2008;Higham 1996Higham , 2002McGrath and Boyd 2001;Moore 1988Moore , 1992.

This article examines the production, uses, and reuses of cultural landscapes within contexts of warfare and political change. Ancient concerns over defense and security have led societies to construct fortification features involving extensive modifications to landscapes in many parts of the world. Social memories are often tied to these militarized landscapes, with embedded meanings and values that persist and morph through time. Due to the potential commemorative power offered by militarized landscapes, leadership strategies related to political regeneration can make use of these built environments. Consequently, the significance of these locales is not limited to military functions, as they can be appropriated by later societies for political agendas. The Co Loa site of modern-day Vietnam’s Red River delta, for instance, illustrates such a locality where warfare and politics intersect. Still standing largely intact today, the site’s monumental system of fortification features dominates the local landscape, reflecting broad alterations of the surrounding terrain. Although the system was originally put into place during the Iron Age, later societies have capitalized on the site’s physical and ideological properties for various military and sociopolitical agendas.
