This review is from: The Bronze Age of Southeast Asia (Cambridge World Archaeology) (Paperback)
In societies like the US, that are predominantly descended from European cultures, more is known about the Bronze Age in Europe and the Middle East than elsewhere. So this book is a nice counterbalance. It shows what is currently known about places in south east Asia, when the Greeks were in their golden age and before Rome was powerful.
The book's illustrations of recovered figurines and other artifacts reveals a high degree of sophistication in metalworking and pottery. Equal in skill to the best that Greece or Egypt could make. The agricultural abilities were also widespread. Several crops were extensively cultivated; enough to support urban centres. There are also indications of trade within the region. Pity that time has left us so few tangible records. |
