An archaeological field research project that takes a bottom-up approach to better understand the Angkorian empire just received a four-year, $318,359 National Science Foundation award. Led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Anthropology Professor Miriam Stark and University of Oregon faculty member Alison Carter, the P’teah Cambodia project focuses on the everyday lives of the Angkor people.
“Most historians chronicle the history of rulers: their dynastic sequence, their achievements and their monuments. Our work focuses instead on the people who made Angkor function,” said Stark. “Although Angkor is one of the largest preindustrial settlements in the world and has been the focus of substantial scholarly attention, we still know little about the people of Angkor: who built the temples, kept the shrines running, produced food, managed the water and farmed the crops that supported the empire. The P’teah Cambodia project will study Angkor households and their activities, and explore the roles of households and non-elites in the Cambodian past.”
The P’teah Cambodia research team, co-directed by Stark and Carter and their Cambodian collaborators, will conduct mapping, excavating and post-fieldwork analysis in the Angkorian site of Prasat Baset in Battambang Province. Seng Khang and Jaratnapa Surinlert, two UH Mānoa archaeology graduate students who specialize in Southeast Asian archaeology, will also participate.
