Abstract:	A review of the Ban Chiang Volumes 2A-2C, this article details the thoroughness and usefulness of the literature from Joyce White and Elizabeth Hamilton. The volumes provide excellent descriptions of the state an development of prehistoric bronze and iron metallurgy. "The reader obtains an in-depth knowledge not only of the excavated and analytical evidence of metalworking at the four sites within the larger regional context of northeast and central Thailand and Laos, but also the theoretical and methodological frameworks used to analyze these results and their ramifications within the larger societal contexts of Southeast Asia, as well as how future archaeologists can apply these results to their own research and conduct similar investigations."
