Summary: A well illustrated compilation of prehistoric Thailand
Comment: A lavishly illustrated volume which provides a broad overview, for both the professional archaeologist and general reader, of the pre-history of Thailand. Dr. Higham must be commended for spending considerable time and effort to produce this well needed compilation of the many archaeological excavations in Thailand of the past thirty years or so. The archaeology of Southeast Asia is relatively new and has raised many unanswered questions as well as ongoing controversy about the prehistoric origins of present day Thailand. The author quite naturally focuses on his many excavations and presents his views of the data uncovered, and the general reader must be aware, as the author states: "any synthesis of Thai prehistory has a short shelf life...as it should be". Most importantly, the publishers have simultaneously published a Thai language version, no doubt through the efforts of co-author Rachanie Thosarat, thereby being available, and affordable, to Thai students and scholars as a valuable background reference. In modern terms this beautiful book can be described as an "Executive Abstract" for anyone interested in prehistoric Thailand and the state of archaeological investigation in that country.
