History

The ancient canal linking Angkor Borei to Óc Eo

This ancient city was an important settlement of the Kingdom of Funan and may have been its capital. The site was first excavated during the year 1996 and was again excavated in 1999 as part of the Lower Mekong Archaeological Project. During the 1996 excavation the University of Hawaii and Royal University of Fine Arts initiated the excavation and focused on the sociopolitical complexity during 500BC - AD 500. This first excavation, however, was just a preliminary research. The first objectives were as followed:

1) Documentation of the site's layout and the range of its archaeological features

2) Evaluation of the integrity of subsurface materials and description of the site's stratigraphy

3) collection of samples for dating portions of the archaeological site

4) reconstructing the hydrology and natural environment of the early historic period in this region

In this site various archaeological methods were used such as surface survey and mapping, test excavations, auger sampling and coring, and trenching with a backhoe.
