In the archaeological study of ancient large-scale settlements, there is considerable debate regarding definitional criteria for categories of "city" and "urban". New field studies from different world areas have enriched our understanding of the variability of past settlement configurations along dimensions of utility, meaning, space, scale, and demography. In northern Vietnam, the remains of monumental constructions of the prehistoric settlement of Co Loa still stand today. Dating to the first...
A Dong Son Community: Connecting Communities Through a Shared Bronze Tradition (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The Dong Son culture (c. 700 BCE to 200 AD), at its simplest, is a collection of a group of sites and artifacts that are characteristic of a particular group or region in northern Vietnam. Their most defining characteristics are their burial practices (i.e., the boat coffins) and their sophisticated bronze tradition seen from artifacts like weapons (i.e.,...
Drone-Imagery Sub Project in Hoa Lu, Ancient Capital of Vietnam (2024)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The drone-imagery sub project uses drone based aerial photography and photogrammetry to document the water gates, walls, enclosures, canals, and shrines of Hoa Lu, supplementary to the IRAW@HoaLu settlement and survey research. Amidst the urban-landscape development, the cultural and natural features are subject to time....
From the Ground, Up: The Looting of Vườn Chuối in Archeological and Criminological Context (2017)
The exact nature of the illicit antiquities trade from ground to market in Southeast Asia remains poorly known outside of Thailand and Cambodia, where most research has been focused. This paper helps to address this imbalance by documenting and contextualizing looting activities at the Bronze and Iron Age site of Vườn Chuối, located within urban Hanoi. We provide a brief excavation history so as to place looting into archaeological and bioarchaeological contexts, and discuss current and future...
In and out of contact: comparing communication between sites with ceramic technology in prehistoric southern Vietnam (2016)
Contact and communication between communities in the past can be identified through the comparison of material culture. Systematic studies of ceramic technological components including morphology, fabric and decoration have indicated that certain sites were exposed to networks of interaction more consistently than others. In a comparison between An Son and Rach Nui, both located in southern Vietnam with dates and evidence of occupation during the Neolithic period, from approximately 4000-3000...
A Metallurgical Study of Early Bronzes from Northern Vietnam: Some Thoughts on Methodology, Local Practices and Inter-regional Interaction (2019)
This is an abstract from the "The Current State of Archaeological Research across Southeast Asia" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This paper presents the results of the metallurgical analysis of 43 fragments of bronze artifacts recovered from Bronze Age sites in northern Vietnam. It represents the largest systematic study undertaken so far of early north Vietnamese bronzes using a range of archeo-metallurgical techniques. The artifacts, which are...
Vietnam War-Era Helicopter Training and Use on U.S. Military Installations Historic Context Subtheme (Legacy 14-739)
