The Dawn of Angkor

Ban Non Wat is a cemetery site located in Thailand, that has been the focus of five years of research by Charles Higham of the University of Otago, New Zealand. Burials dated to the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron ages have been recovered at Ban Non Wat, with clear evidence of the growing power of an elite class that Higham believes represents the earliest foundations of what was to become the Angkor Civilization. These photographs were provided by Dr. Higham, to illustrate the richness of the burials.
