The news article post has generated a substantial amount of
interest on the listserve. Here's a follow-up comment by Elizabeth,
and some photos, that may help clarify some of the information in the
article. -- Wes
The deposits and the urns underlie a Bagan period temple at the site
where U Win Maung has been working since 2003. It is in the 'rice fields
of Kyaukse' that supported Bagan. In 2008 permission was received from
the Department of Archaeology to remove a Pinya period temple which
revealed an 11-13th century stucco-covered temple. More excavation then
unearthed the Pyu and seemingly late Iron Age goods including thin
burnished black ware which we would like to identify precisely for an
article we are working on.

Nicholas Revire has organized a panel on "Religious and Cultural Practices in Pre-Modern Thailand," for the upco ming 11th International Conference on Thai Studies.
The panel abstracts can be viewed in the attached Word doc.
Here is the panel abstract:
The archaeological study of ancient sites in Thailand has developed
considerably since its beginning in the first half of the twentieth century. Very
little is yet known, however, about the history, political organization, or
geographical extent of the different polities of the first millennium. What we
do know derives mainly from a vast number of religious sites, stone and
bronze sculptures, clay or stucco artefacts, and a few inscriptions. Based on this archaeological evidence, we know that the area
that today constitutes Thailand was strongly shaped by Buddhism from the late
sixth or the early seventh century of the Common Era, although Brahmanism and
local beliefs were also common. But exactly what kind of religious and cultural
practices were observed in this region before the advent of the Tai during the
Sukhothai Period? The
aim of this panel is to review some of the evidence we have so far to
reconstruct these activities in pre-modern Thailand.

The first unofficial gathering of AASEAA was held at the recent SAA conference in Sacramento, CA. Our gathering, which was attended by archaeologists working in Southeast, East, and South Asia, was held at Bangkok@12, and we enjoyed excellent Thai food while having a chance to get to know one another! We're planning on additional papers/sessions on Asian archaeology and hopefully another dinner at the next SAA meeting in Memphis in 2012.
