Crossing Boundaries - Learning From the Past to Build the Future: An Archaeological Collaboration Between Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (RCSD Research Report, 8)

56 pp., illustrations, maps, bibliography. This working paper investigates the archaeological vestiges of the Champa and Angkorian civilizations that remain in northeast Cambodia, southern Laos and central Vietnam, tracing the interconnections between these two important Southeast Asian civilizations. The author proposes that interactions between these two empires greatly affected their development and decline, and that while interest has previously focused on the sea-routes that existed between Champa (on the Vietnamese coast) and Angkor (around Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia), this research explores the little researched overland routes that existed between the two empires. 0.0.
