The oldest traces of human occupation in Angkor are the remains of prehistoric settlements discovered at various locations on the site by B. P. Groslier, and attributed to the first millennium before our era. 1 However, a complete gap exists between these remains and the beginning of the occupation of the site towards the seventh century. From this period on, solid monuments of brick and stone and sturdy earth dykes would mark out the subsequent history of the site up to the thirteenth to fourteenth centuries, and even up to the sixteenth century, if we include the later notable alterations to the Baphuon, Bakheng and Angkor Wat, before the clearing and restoration of the site, which started at the beginning of the twentieth century. Although we can establish a fairly reliable chronology based on epigraphy and the evolution of forms, the history of the Angkor site, and by inference, the history of the inhabitants of the 'City', is complex and tangled.

In December 2019, Michael Falser, of the University of Heidelberg, a specialist on heritage preservation and the art and architectural history of South and Southeast Asia, published his two-volume study, Angkor Wat: A transcultural history of heritages, which he had spent almost ten years researching. The volumes cover the history of research of the most famous monument in Cambodia, Angkor Wat, the world's largest religious monument, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992. The two volumes include more than 1,400 black-and-white and colour illustrations, including historical photographs and the author's own photographs, architectural plans and samples of tourist brochures and media clips about Angkor Wat, which has been represented as a national and international icon for almost 150 years, since the 1860s.
This piece reviews the six volumes of "The Origins of the Civilization of Angkor" The volumes are the result of more than twenty years of archaeological research in north-east Thailand, focusing specifically on the Mun Valley region and incorporating both survey and excavation techniques.I will limit my review to a summary of the volumes and a discussion of their overall conclusions. After this I will give my opinion on the impact that the volumes and the The Origins of the Civilization of Angkor project have had on both Thai prehistory and the practice of south-east Asian archaeology in general.
