Title A name given to the resource Site 1 Description An account of the resource <p>Site 1 (also known as Ban Ang) contains nearly 400 carved stone jars.&nbsp; Archaeological research began in the 1930s led by Madeleine Colani (1866-1943), with later research conducted by Eiji Nitta, Thongsa Sayavongkhamdy, and a UNESCO team led by Julie Van den Bergh and Samlane Luangaphay. In 2016, Lao-Australian team conducted excavation and survey at Site 1, resulting in a detailed inventory of the stone jars, burial marker boulders and sandstone discs. The site is dominated by a limestone cave which faces over 384 stone jars arranged in five groups. To the north of the site is a small hill that is home to the largest and most impressive jars (Group 1). At a lower elevation to these, lie the largest group of megalithic jars (Group 2) arranged in a crescent in front of the cave mouth. Three smaller groups of jars make up the rest of the site to the south. Interspersed among the jars were 16 sandstone discs and 308 siliceous quartz breccia boulders.<br /><a href="https://vimeo.com/user104351898/review/368708541/b07608df68"></a></p> Artefact Archaeological Artefact Site The site to which the artifact belongs 1 Group Group within the site to which the artifact belongs 2 Angle Description of the degree to which the artefact remains upright Inclined Associated Boulder Whether or not there is a boulder or "boulder" type artefact associated with the artefact No Associated Ceramic Whether or not there are "Ceramic" type artefacts associated with the artefact No Associated Disc Whether or not there is a "disc" type artefact associated with the artefact No Associated Jar Fragments Whether or not there are "Jar Fragment" type artefacts associated with the artefact No Associated Other Whether or not there are "Other" type artefacts associated with the artefact No Visibility Degree of visibilty of the artefact Visibile Buried < 50 % Visible Cavity Depth Measured dimension of the depth of artefact's cavity i.e. inside depth 24 Cavity Diameter Measurement Measured dimension of the diameter of the artefact's cavity i.e. inside diameter of the opening 84 Cavity Shape Description of the shape of the artefact's cavity Straight Comments Comments related to the artefact Extensive damage Contents Description of the contents of the artefact Soil/leaves/water Description of Manufacture Evidence Description of the evidence of the artefact's manufacture Chisel marks Evidence of Manufacture Apparent evidence of manufacturing Yes Mouth Direction Description of the direction of orientation of the mouth of the artefact East Mouth Shape Description of the shape of the artefact's mouth or entrance aperture (where applicable) Oval Rim Style Description of the style of the artefact's rim Flat Inward Stone Type Type of stone material of the artefact Sandstone Top to Ground measurement Measured dimension of the artifact from top of the artefact to the ground 40 X Longitude of the artifact's position 19.43126546 Y Latitude of the artefact 103.1528639 GeoLocation Location coordinates of the artefact 19.4312654553992;103.152863882079 Artefact Type Type of Artefact i.e. Jar, Jar Fragment, Disk, Boulder, Ceramic, etc. Jar Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
