“…The archaeological site of Angkor Borei has been the focus of art historical and historical interest since the late 19th century (Aymonier 1901), because of its monumental wall, its collapsed brick structures, its artifacts, and its associated Phnom Da art style, the latter of which represents the earliest Khmer art tradition. Many historians, following Chinese accounts (Pelliot 1903), believe that Angkor Borei was an inland capital of Cambodia's earliest civilization, which Chinese visitors from the 3rd -6th centuries AD called Funan (Coedès 1968;Wheatley 1983). Previous publications have reported on LOMAP research findings at the site of Angkor Borei; these focus on the site's size, configuration, and occupational history (Stark et al 1999;Stark 1998Stark , 2003.…”

Being Earth and the Word, the brick is a goddess: 'To thee, O Goddess, Brick, let us sacrifice with oblation' (Kramrisch 1976:105) Brick construction technology appeared throughout much of mainland Southeast Asia by the mid-first millennium AD, and is associated with the earliest states in the region. Populations in these early states used bricks to construct encircling settlement walls, to erect religious structures for housing Indic deities (Parmentier 1932:187), to create Buddhist caitya or stupa shrines within and around their settlements, and to construct mortuary monuments that contained cremations. Given the large number of brick monuments in India and Southeast Asia, the cultural significance of the monuments themselves and their spread through the region and the difficulties of obtaining absolute ages for the bricks and brick structures using other means, a huge need exists to date bricks directly that were used in these public works.This article focuses on dating bricks used to construct first millennium AD monuments, shrines, and other public works. Several persistent questions concerning the earliest brick technology remain unanswered, including the range of construction uses, the linkage between this technology and other concomitant organizational shifts, and the origins of this particular technology. None of these questions can be answered, however, without a solid grasp of the time-space systematics. The Mekong delta (southern Cambodia and southern Vietnam) is an ideal setting for studying Southeast Asian's early brick technological tradition. Not only was the delta a crucible for social and political complexity during the early to midfirst millennium AD (Hall

The presents sent by the King of Peaches in Korea to the Japanese court in 543 may have contained beads from Fun an, where the merchandise was bought Bachmann (1982).…”

Problem statement: Sungai Mas, Kedah, Malaysia and OC-EO, Vietnam, was two of the Indo-Pacific beads making centre's in Southeast Asia. The drawn monochrome glass beads or IndoPacific beads industry begun in Arikamedu, India since 200BC was identified by Ptolemy as Poduca Emporium, with the presence of a small colony of Roman merchants. Arikamedu was abandoned by the 3rd century and before it was abandoned, the bead making centre was transferred to three other sites by the 2nd century CE which are Sri Lanka, Klong Thom, Thailand and OC-EO, Vietnam. Sungai Mas served as Indo-Pacific beads making centre by the 6th century CE until 13th century CE. Therefore the objective of this research is to determine from the beads compositional aspect whether beads from Sungai Mas originated from OC-EO or not. This is to prove that Sungai Mas and OC-EO produce their own beads. Approach: The study approach is base on compositional aspect of the beads. Compositional aspects of the beads involve their major and trace elements. Secondary data involved major and trace elements of the beads from Sungai Mas and OC-EO were analyzed based on their percentage of total and concentration. Results: Based on major and trace elements content showed that Sungai Mas beads are differ from OC-EO beads. This can be seen from the high percentage of silica, silver and fluks in Sungai Mas beads compare to lower percentage of those elements in OC-EO beads. Conclusion:The results showed that Sungai Mas and OC-EO produced their own glass beads and they were two of the Indo-Pacific beads-making centre in Southeast Asia beginning from 2nd century CE to 13th century CE.

“…1 ), which contains a rich yet poorly understood record of about 1000 years of early historic occupation beginning at approximately 500 BC. Third century AD Chinese travellers to this region described the "Kingdom of Funan," which consisted of walled and moated cities that housed rulers, elites, and artisans of fine goods such as precious metals, jewellery, and other crafts (e.g., [7,[21][22][23]30]). Archaeological and documentary evidence from the region suggest that the Mekong Delta was a thriving economic node in the maritime trade routes that linked India west to Rome and east to to China via mainland Southeast Asia (e.g., [2,6,32,33]).…”

“…Thus, historians have argued that populations in the Mekong delta participated in regional and international maritime trade networks ( [7,15,16,30]; see review by [17]: 238-254). Today, as in the past, the Mekong delta is largely inundated during half the year, and transportation requires canals and boats rather than roads.…”
