The work start in 2001. Funeral practices have been studied from grave goods and bones remains by the method of field anthropology and many analyses of ceramic vessels and metallic artefacts have been carried out. These preliminary findings, albeit restricted in number, prompt a few interesting comparisons between funeral practices and cultural aspects of the Bronze and Iron Ages. The gaps of protohistoric Burma are huge. The research presented here is but the result of a ground-clearing exercise.

Pautreau has been working on burial sites from late prehistory in Upper Burma. Within this framework, we observed some copper-base artefacts the villagers brought during the archaeological excavations. They are thin metal sheets cut into geometric or anthropomorphic shapes. According to many witnesses, they were discovered in burials, above and on both sides of the skeleton. Therefore one of the hypotheses is that they are coffin ornaments. It is important to study their shapes, patterns and dimensions, to better understand what they are. We also had the opportunity to analyse the composition of one of these artefacts which provided new information about the techniques used to produce them.

This volume first of all presents the research project and the conditions for excavation. The anthropological field study was complemented by
a specific study of children’s graves and by an odontological study. The ensemble of the remains discovered is presented, followed by analysis and specialised studies (ceramology, typology of bronze axes, analysis of glass and semi-precious stone ornaments, copper and bronze analyses, and carbon dating) complete the monograph. The inventory of the graves is followed by a list of the objects found on the site and those examined in public and private collections. The work replaces the discoveries in their context of the Samon valley around Pyaw Bwe and, more generally, at the heart of regional exchanges
which took place during the Iron Age."
