C.E. 500-802) and Angkorian (C.E. 802-1431) periods. It has long been assumed that the regional expansion of Khmer political power and its intensive interregional trade and interactions with China during the Angkorian period were crucial factors in this transformation. This article presents the first integrated study on the production sequence and usage of Khmer roof tiles in Angkor (Cambodia) and its provincial centers in Northeast Thailand. Furthermore, it evaluates the extent to which the Khmer people made technological and social choices as they embraced new ceramic manufacturing technologies. Combining archaeological excavation findings with comparative analyses of two regions, this study argues that the contact the Khmer had with China motivated Khmer to begin roof tile production for elite residences and temples. The subsequent Khmer local architectural tradition is defined by distinctive production techniques of Khmer roof tiles and ancient ranking systems for roof tile usage in the greater Angkorian region. This article makes important observations about the specific choices that were made in the process of emulating the roof tile tradition. Roof tile manufacture and usage were ways for Khmer rulers to establish the legitimacy of their polities in mainland Southeast Asia.

Since the 9th century, the Khmers started to produce high-fired glazed stoneware. The various shapes and motifs of green glazed covered boxes manufactured from Phnom Kulen Kilns dated from the 11-12th centuries were inspired by the decorative methods of Yue Kilns from the Tang to Northern Song Period.

This case report will discuss the type, quantity, and distribution of the 'mercury jar' found at this site; providing a preliminary comparison with its production sites at Cizao Kilns, Jinjiang, Fujian Province, China and other Southeast Asian sites. This report also serves to advance topics for further discussion on the possible original function(s) of the jar as a grain wine or mercury container, and on the major consumers of the 'mercury jar', from members of the upper classes to state officials during this period.

Bowls, dishes and utilitarian storage vessels such as jars and basins are the major forms of ceramics. Export ceramics from Guangdong Province, such as Xicun, Chaozhou and Qishi wares, were popular in Hong Kong. Inhabitants also acquired ceramics from other provinces such as Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang for daily use. Most of the ceramics were distributed as ordinary commodities in the local market.
