University of Oregon undergraduate students Marly Howell and Gabby Shaffer, as well as UO graduate student Zachary Dierks gave paper presentations on their ongoing research on Baset at the Society for American Archaeology meetings in Denver, CO. UO graduate student Tiyas Bhattacharyya presented on her zooarchaeological work at the site of Angkor Borei, Cambodia. While in Denver, we all also visited the Angkor: Lost Empire of Cambodia exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

In 2024, we returned to Battambang to work on processing our artifacts and recording our extensive ceramics collection. You can read more in our 2024 Field Season page.
After our field season, we were grateful to have ceramics illustrator HONG Ranet illustrate our ceramics rim forms. Her work has greatly aided our ongoing ceramics analysis work!
