Description
The Angkorian World is a comprehensive and accessible exploration of Southeast Asia's largest ancient state, spanning from the first to mid-second millennium CE. This book brings together evidence from archaeology, texts, and the natural sciences to shed light on the Angkorian state's structure, persistence, and legacy. The volume is divided into six sections, each examining a different aspect of the Angkorian world, from its historical and environmental contexts to its economic foundations and political legacies. With maps, graphics, and photographs, readers can navigate the content of each chapter and gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating period in history. Suitable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in premodern Asia, The Angkorian World synthesises over a century of work at Angkor and in the regions it influenced, providing a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the rise and function of this great empire.
