Associate Professor
Research Interests
- I am a Southeast Asian archaeologist specializing in the Khmer Empire, the vast state that built the famous temples of Angkor and controlled vast areas of mainland SE Asia between the 9th to 15th centuries AD.
- My research has studied the history and function of the Khmer road system that connected Angkor to its provincial territories and also the extent of the actual empire through a study of water reservoirs and settlement. Currently I am interested in the role of iron production in the expansion of the state and the possibility that an ethnic minority, the Kuay, were responsible for creating this important resource for the majority Khmer state.
