"Interpreting Southeast Asia's Past: Monument, Image and Text"
features 31 papers read at the 10th International Conference of the
European Association of Southeast Asian Archaeologists, held in
London in September 2004. The volume covers monumental arts,
sculpture and painting, epigraphy and heritage management across
mainland Southeast Asia and as far south as Indonesia.New research
on monumental arts includes chapters on the Bayon of Angkor and the
great brick temple sites of Champa. There is an article discussing
the purpose of making and erecting sacred sculptures in the ancient
world and accounts of research on the sacred art of Burma, Thailand
and southern China (including the first study of the few surviving
Saiva images in Burma), of a spectacular find of bronze Mahayana
Buddhas, and of the sculpted bronzes of the Dian culture.New
research on craft goods and crafting techniques deals with ancient
Khmer materials, including recently discovered ceramic kiln sites,
the sandstone sources of major Khmer sculptures, and the rare
remaining traces of paint, plaster and stucco on stone and brick
buildings. More widely distributed goods also receive attention,
including Southeast Asian glass beads, and there are contributions
on Southeast Asian heritage and conservation, including research on
Angkor as a living World Heritage site and discussion of a UNESCO
project on the stone jars of the Plain of Jars in Laos that
combines recording, safeguarding, bomb clearance, and ecotourism
development.
