The books three sections examine the interrelationship between the sites and their wider surroundings, the actual physical remains, and the social relations to the surrounding community. The extensive range of sites and topics covered in this volume provides a detailed insight into the most up-to-date research approaches and allows a truly comparative, inter-disciplinary understanding of Southeast Asia in the pre-modern era. Through its exceptional approach, this tome will be invaluable to academics and students of historical Southeast Asia and the interested general public alike.
