“…During the Iron Age, it is well known that agate, carnelian and glass beads indicate some sort of contact with distant Indian sources and ideas (Glover 1998;Higham 1989Higham , 2002Bellina 2003;Theunissen 2003). These artefacts are regular finds across northeast Thailand.…”

terra australis 32Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements.

“…In this perspective, the strong impact of Indian religious practices among coastal groups in early history and their role in royal courts of rising Southeast Asian powers can be recognized from archaeological data. New research on technology, glass and stone beads making in particular, also led to common agreement that cultural exchanges were not one way, and did not simply imply Indianization or Sinicization, but reflect Southeast Asianization and localization (Bellina 2003;Hirano 2008;Bellina and Glover 2004: 68). Ban Don Ta Phet, Phu Khao Thong and Khao Sam Kaeo in Thailand, Sa Huynh sites in central and several Iron Age sites in the coast of southern Vietnam are among the most important sites for understanding the nature and the role of maritime networks in Southeast Asian state formation processes (Glover, Bellina 2011;Lam 2011;Bui et.…”
