Southeast Asian Site Reports

epress.nus.edu.sg/sitereports

The Southeast Asian Site Reports series is intended to make archaeological data available for comparative study to all scholars who work on Southeast Asian archaeology, as well as the active community of students of archaeology and volunteers in the region. Aside from descriptions of the archaeological project, these reports generally include:

• research questions addressed by the project, and analysis of results

• site maps and stratigraphic drawings

• tables providing quantitative data and statistics on specific types of artifacts

• illustrations of the main types of artifacts discovered (photographs and drawings)

• laboratory analyses of mineral composition, identification of organic materials, the ancient environment, dating methods and results

This information is typically difficult to obtain for Southeast Asian sites, especially for the historical period. It is hoped that these efforts to develop an online publication template, and tools for the management of images and other data, will encourage more sharing of data across national boundaries. The latest updates in Southeast Asian Site Reports are reports on:

• Pulau Saigon

• St. Andrew’s Cathedral

• The Istana Kampung Gelam

• The Empress Place
