Southeast Asia has recently garnered significant archaeological attention for its role in early sea crossings, as the region of origin for the Austronesian population dispersal across the Pacific from Neolithic times. It also highlights the development of archaeologically-rich Neolithic and metal-using communities, particularly in Thailand and Vietnam, and serves as the backdrop for monumental Indic civilizations like the Khmer civilization centered around Angkor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1052\"\u003eThis book is invaluable to anyone interested in exploring the full history of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1572\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eIan Glover is Emeritus Reader in Southeast Asian Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
