Picky, picky  My references were not Thai but the University of Penn. which has a renowned archeology department. That's what I get for not using direct quotes from the research. Too old and memory is quitting on me. However, it doesn't detract from the pleasure of being there and seeing it. It is interesting that the last Ice Age period is regularly accepted as the beginning of 'our' civilization by many of us. Yet, there is specific evidence of prehistory peoples from many years (eons?) prior. Underworld is a fine example of some of the research going on. BTW one of the sites not accessible to them during the writing of the book was verified with the Tsunami of -04, when remains of an old temple/buildings were sited on the South East coast of India as the waters receded prior to the wave. E. G.

| Additional info on the "farming" question. Apparently rice was farmed there on a consistent basis for many generations. The layers of remains and artifacts do give some time lines along with sediment layers etc. This indicates a yearly or periodic farming of rice. The conclusion is it is the oldest (possibly challenged by the site in China) continuous farming known. E. G. Wish I was an expert, it is a challenging field of study. |
