The panel seeks to explore a broader range of viewpoints in conceptualization and practice by integrating local or indigenous knowledge into the archaeology of Southeast Asia. This section consists of several novel research articles, each article having its own uniqueness presenting regional research issues such as indigenous cosmology, prehistoric periodization, and heritage management. These articles not only advance our archaeological knowledge but also reflect a range of theoretical and methodological issues from local and non-local viewpoints in contemporary archaeology and critical heritage studies in Southeast Asia. The papers in this section may serve as a functional venue for a cross-disci...

The direct transfer of this system from its European application to Southeast Asia has substantially influenced the analysis and characterization of Southeast Asian data. In particular, the chronological division of ‘Bronze Age’ and ‘Iron Age’ has overemphasized the linkage between the development of metal technology in relation to socio-economic development. It is agreed that absolute chronology needs to be established, however the terminology of ‘Bronze Age’ and ‘Iron Age’ should be used specifically for the classification of artefact chronology, separately from the explanation of stages of social organisation. Archaeological data from west-central Thailand will be discussed to demonstrate the issue of the incompatible framework of the Three-Age System (Figures 1-2). The apparent absence of clear age subdivisions and the lack of a “real” ...
