Earthenware ceramics from Pre-Angkorian and Angkorian sites in Cambodia have been generally understudied in Southeast Asia. A comprehensive analysis of the earthenware assemblage from the site of Prasat Baset in Battambang province, northwest Cambodia, is underway. Characterizations of the composition of the ceramic fabrics, ceramic vessel morphology and decorative attributes demonstrate clear technological changes in earthenware production at Prasat Baset between the 5<sup>th</sup> and 13<sup>th</sup> centuries CE. The preliminary results of the analysis are presented and correlated with socio-political influences of the wider Angkorian civilization on earthenware production and consumption within provincial areas as well as the retention of local manufacturing traditions.
