“…The central part of Nan is characterised by the meandering river course and the associated floodplain of the Nan River, which fostered the growth of local communities. During historic times, Nan was initially an independent kingdom that was established in the thirteenth century AD to govern multi-ethic groups, especially the highland tribes (Cheewinsiriwat 2013). The kingdom was forced to join the Lanna Kingdom in the fourteenth century and later the Siamese Kingdom (modern Thailand) in the seventeenth century AD.…”

The Lanna group is a traditional ceramic production style from Southeast Asia, with several kiln sites found distributed all over present northern Thailand. However, its origin and development are considered controversial and chronological constraints are scarce. Applied here are radiocarbon dating to charcoal remains and luminescence dating to ceramics, kiln wall material, and fluvial sediments from the Ban Bo Suak archaeological site near Nan, northern Thailand. The site has been suspected to have been abandoned due to destruction by a flood. Unexpectedly, the ceramic samples lack proper thermoluminescence signal properties and only two samples could be dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). These ages in combination with published radiocarbon ages point towards a ceramic production around AD 1700. The kiln wall material and fluvial sediments reveal evidence for partial resetting of the OSL signal, which is unexpected for heated material. Supported by some radiocarbon ages, the OSL ages imply a temporal connection between the last use of the kilns and the flood deposits, during the fifteenth century AD. Besides general methodological considerations, the data reported here indicates that while a flood apparently dismantled several kiln sites, this did not stop the production of Lanna style ceramics in the region.

“…Neither temporal information of data have been given enough attention nor contents contained in temporal information could be delved in depth. In recent years, specialists and scholars have shown attention and interest in both temporal and spatial distribution (Aljawarneh et al 2017;Bourbonnais et al 2017;Cheewinsiriwat 2013). Besides, in the field of geography, spatial point pattern analysis method has been applied to many areas, including geology, landscape ecology, spatial analysis of economics, epidemiology, crime, meteorology, tourism science, and archeology (Minghao et al 2011;Dauner et al 2016;Lopes-Rocha et al 2017).…”

The temporal and spatial operation of commodity business activities is neither random nor accidental. It is characterized by inner laws and features. Based on spatio-temporal analysis in GIS, the objective of this study was to use spatial autocorrelation method and kernel density estimation to study the temporal and spatial distribution pattern of customer sources in tea trade extracted from enterprise supply chains in Fujian Province, China. Using data of Fujian tea business as an example, customer sources showed a typical clustered pattern overall that could be classified into several hot areas. The distribution of customer sources is dynamic along with time. These hot areas spread from coastal cities to inland cities, ranging from urban to suburban. Meanwhile, it showed a relatively irregular distribution in suburban areas with aggregation distribution near urban areas. This study applied GIS spatio-temporal analysis technology to the analysis of an enterprise supply chain, synthesizing both spatial and temporal information and successfully integrating business with geography.

Structure and age of ancient walls from the city of Nan, northern Thailand

The structure and age of remains of two ancient walls located in the city of Nan, a former part of the Lanna Kingdom in modern northern Thailand, were investigated. The remains differ in appearance with a well-preserved brick wall present at Mahawong Road (MHW), while an earthwork with a brick reinforcement core is found at Phaya Wat Temple (PWT). We employed an electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) survey and optically stimulated luminescence dating (OSL) to determine the buried structure of the earthwork at the PWT site and the production age of bricks from both locations. The ERT results reveal lateral heterogeneous resistivity domains cross-cutting the wall, which presumably relates to the construction of a dam. According to OSL dating, the PWT wall was likely built during the time of the war with Burma that ultimately resulted in a foreign occupation of Nan in the sixteenth century. This structure played a role in both flood mitigation and military defence of the city. The structure at MHW represents a city wall that was built at the end of the nineteenth century after Nan was relocated to its present position and rather reflects representative and social needs.
