CAMBODIA PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

 

Tuesday June 16. 2 PM. Meyer Auditorium, Freer Gallery of Art,
Washington D.C.

 

PRODUCING ANGKOR: The Material, Spatial and Cultural Generation of the
Khmer Empire 

 

Mitch Henderson, University of Sydney

 

KEEPING WATCH: The Role of Heritage Watch in Protecting Cambodia's
Cultural Legacy

 

Dougald O'Reilly, Yale University

 

Two archaeologists share new research on Cambodia's past and efforts to
protect and preserve the record of the past. Production of objects
(ceramics, iron), landscapes (roads and settlements) and identity (both
cultural and archaeological) offers critical new insight into how and
why the Khmer Empire developed, expanded and ultimately collapsed. In
response to a crisis of looting at historic and prehistoric sites, the
international non-profit Heritage Watch was founded to slow the
destruction.
