Ancient Southeast Asia provides readers with a much needed
synthesis of the latest discoveries and research in the archaeology
of the region, presenting the evolution of complex societies in
Southeast Asia from the protohistoric period, beginning around
500BC, to the arrival of British and Dutch colonists in 1600.
Well-illustrated throughout, this comprehensive account explores
the factors which established Southeast Asia as an area of unique
cultural fusion. Miksic and Goh explore how the local population
exploited the abundant resources available, developing maritime
transport routes which resulted in economic and cultural wealth,
including some of the most elaborate art styles and monumental
complexes ever constructed. The book's broad geographical and
temporal coverage, including a chapter on the natural environment,
provides readers with the context needed to understand this
staggeringly diverse region. It utilizes French, Dutch, Chinese,
Malay-Indonesian and Burmese sources and synthesizes
interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and data from
archaeology, history and art history. Offering key opportunities
for comparative research with other centres of early socio-economic
complexity, Ancient Southeast Asia establishes the area's
importance in world history.
