| Abstract: |
The Ban Chiang Volume 2 monograph series presents a comprehensive and accessible study of prehistoric metallurgy in Northeast Thailand. Beginning with theoretical foundations in Volume 2A, followed by scientific analyses of artifacts in 2B, broader regional interpretations in 2C, and an extensive illustrated catalog, the series integrates decades of research from Ban Chiang and related sites. Edited by leading scholars, it emphasizes metallurgy as a socially embedded process and highlights inter-regional networks across Southeast Asia. Rich in comparative data and methodological insight, this series offers a valuable resource for scholars and the public interested in ancient technology and society.
