Newly launched! The Ban Chiang Project Website
The Ban Chiang Project is dedicated to pursuing scientific research on the prehistoric culture revealed by the excavations at the site of Ban Chiang and neighboring sites in northern northeast Thailand. The investigations are being conducted by a multinational, multidisciplinary team of scholars. Work on Ban Chiang at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is now focused both on bringing to full publication the excavation undertaken in the 1970s and expanding our knowledge of the prehistory of the Middle Mekong River Basin by survey and excavation in Laos.
