Title: A newly discovered circular earthwork in Southerneastern Cambodia
Date: 1997
Source: Anthropological Science
Abstract: Circular earthworks are large doughnut-like embankments (often larger than 200 m in diameter) distributed mainly in the basalt areas of southeastern Cambodia and southern Vietnam. They are thought to be neolithic settlements (Mourer,1977, p.51
Carbonnel, 1979, p.224). At least five circular earthworks are known to be present in Cambodia (Malleret,1959). In an inspection of aerial photos, the authors located one more circular earthwork in southeastern Cambodia and confirmed the site by ground reconnaissance. The location, morphology and associated artifacts of the site are reported below. Also, the significance of aerial photos for locating undiscovered circular earthworks is discussed.
