Thought the pre-historic Thailand is well known to us, the regions&#8217; epigraphical records have been in recent times not subject to a rigorous multi-disciplinary study. However, it may be noted that several new interpretations have come forth, which shed new light on the historical past of the region. At the same time, the newly discovered inscriptions especially from north and northeastern Thailand await a proper evaluation in the hands of experts. The region&#8217;s proximity to Cambodia might further help us in re-assessing the hydraulic superiority of Khmer kings and the contemporary religious scenes of this part of fascinating southeast Asia. The panel proposed plans to include at least one speaker from Cambodia. At the moment there are already three paper proposals committed, one by each of the organisers and one by a Sanskrit and Khmer language expert with special reference to the region&#8217;s epigraphy.<br \/>\nPresentations<br \/>\nDvaravati Kingdom: Epigraphical Records<br \/>\nPhasook Indrawooth (Silpakorn University, Faculty of Archaeology, Bangkok) Society as Recorded in the Early Inscriptions of found in Thailand<br \/>\nChirapat Prapandvidya (Sanskrit Studies Centre, Silpakorn University, Bangkok)<\/p>\n<p>Session Time<br \/>\nDay Thursday Date 26th June<br \/>\nTime 11.30AM-1PM Room No Details Available<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Developments In Korean Archaeology.

Many international scientific discussions of this site are in progress, especially about the development of the microlithic culture at the site and its vicinity, including Japan, Siberia, and China. A series of annual scientific meetings focused on this site was begun in 1996, titled &#8220;SUYANGGAE and Her Neighbors,&#8221; and the 20th anniversary of its first excavation will be celebrated this year. This session will contain multidisciplinary presentations concerning the site&#8217;s Quaternary geological setting, palaeoenvironment, zooarchaeology, and lithics, as well as complementary studies from adjacent regions.<\/p>\n<p>Presentations<br \/>\nThe Suyanggae Lithic Assemblage, With A Focus On The Microblade Industry<br \/>\nand Tanged Tools<br \/>\nLee Yung-jo (Department of Archaeology and Art History, Chungbuk National University)<br \/>\nand Kong Sujin (Institute for Jungwon Culture, Chungbuk National University) Quaternary Geology and Environment of Suyanggae Site in Korea<br \/>\nKim Ju Yong, Yang Dong Yoon (Quaternary Research Team, Korea Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources, Taejon), Lee Yung jo (Department of Archaeology and Art History, Chungbuk National University) and Yum Jong Gwon (Postdoctoral Fellow, Chungbuk National University)<br \/>\nSpecies Of Charcoal Excavated At The Suyanggae Palaeolithic Site In Central Korea<br \/>\nPark Won-kyu and KimYojung (School of Forest Resources, Chungbuk National University) The Suyanggae Site and the Northeast Asian Palaeolithic in Light of European Palaeolithic Studies<br \/>\nMichael Jochim (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA)<br \/>\nBehavior And Subsistence Of The Paleolithic Occupants Of Gunang Cave<br \/>\nLee Yung-jo, Cho Tae-sop (Department of Archaeology and Art History, Chungbuk National University) and Woo Jong-yoon (Chungbuk National University Musuem) The Oldest Sorori Rice 15,000 BP: Its Findings and Significance<br \/>\nLee Yung-jo (Department of Archaeology and Art History, Chungbuk National University) and Woo Jong-yoon (Chungbuk National University Musuem)<br \/>\nThe Dynamics Of The Peopling Of The Southern Part Of The Russian Far East During The Late Pleistocene<br \/>\nNina Kononenko (Russian Academy of Science, Vladivostok) Approach to the Stone Age in the Japanese Archipelago from the Standpoint of Obsidian Archaeology<br \/>\nAmbiru Masao (Meiji University, Japan)<br \/>\nC14 AMS And The Dating From Sorori Paleolithic Site<br \/>\nKim Jong-chan (Seoul National University) and Lee Yung-jo (Chungbuk National University)<\/p>\n<p>Session Time<br \/>\nDay Sunday Date 22nd June<br \/>\nTime 9AM-1PM Room No Details Available<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Developments In Indian Archaeology<\/h3>\n<p>Organized By<br \/>\nRavindra Nath Singh (India)<\/p>\n<p>Session Details<br \/>\n&#8211;<br \/>\nPresentations<br \/>\nCist Burials In Kinnaur, Western Himalayas: A Preliminary Report On Recent Discoveries<br \/>\nDr. A.

This connectivity is evident in the history of the southwest with its arid environment and changing environment.<\/p>\n<p>This gathering of scholars will examine the connection of Native American communities to water and water resources in the past and in the present. The shifting patterns of land occupation and use can often relate to the changing patterns of water and access to water. This delicate balance of land use, occupation, and access to water is found in both the archaeological past and in the current discussions and disputes of land and water in the Rio Grande Valley. Inherent to this discussion is an understanding of the modern Native American perception of water, water use, and land control in today&#8217;s world.<br \/>\nPresentations<br \/>\nWater In The Flow Of Pueblo Time And Community: Managed Landscapes Of Movement, Rest And Renewal<br \/>\nKurt Anschuetz (Program Director, Rio Grande Foundation for Communities and Cultural Landscapes, USA) The Colorado River: Plans Gone Awry<br \/>\nWilliam deBuys (Writer and conservationist, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA)<br \/>\nThe Sound Of Flute Music At Night<br \/>\nDolly Naranjo-Neikrug (Santa Clara Pueblo, Coordinator of the Native American Heritage Program for the Indian Arts Research Center at the School of American Research, USA) The Cochiti Dam Project: Pueblo Water Rights in New Mexico<br \/>\nRegis Pecos (Cochiti Pueblo, USA)<br \/>\nWater: The Key To Navajo Economic Tribal Development, Past And Present<br \/>\nTimothy Begay (Din\u00e9, Cultural Specialist in the Traditional Culture Program, Representative of the Navajo Nation, Historic Preservation Department, Window Rock, Arizona, USA)<\/p>\n<p>The Snake River Basin: the Nez Perce Claims<br \/>\nSteve Moore (Attorney, Native American Rights Fund in Boulder, Colorado, USA)<\/p>\n<p>Conclusions: Water In The Past And In The Present<br \/>\nRichard M.

From current ethnoarchaeological perspectives, to cultural heritage management projects, palaeoecological studies and museum research, African archaeology has many contributions to make to the international arena. At the heart of many of these projects is the desire to make archaeology socially relevant and to find innovative ways in which it can be applied practically to make it relevant to rural development and Indigenous peoples.<br \/>\nPresentations<br \/>\nOwnership, Conservation And Exploitation Of Archaeological Heritage<br \/>\nEustace Gitonga (Community Museums of Kenya) The Middle-Upper Palaeolithic transition in North Africa<br \/>\nAbdeljalil Bouzouggar (Senior Lecturer, Institut National des Sciences de l\u2019Arch\u00e9ologie et du Patrimoine, Av.
