page 353 note 1 These dates compare with that of 1770 ± 140 B.C. obtained for the site of Ban-Kao excavated by the Danish-Thailand expedition in the neighbourhood of Kanchanaburi. The date is quoted from Sørensen, Per in Felicitation Volumes of South-east Asian Studies, II, Bangkok, 1965, 307Google Scholar. The site yielded an inventory of markedly ‘Chinese’ aspect with Lung Shan pottery, including tripod, hollow-necked and shouldered bowls and pedestalled vessels; stone tools including shouldered adzes; stone bracelets; shell knives; and antler harpoon-heads. Material from the excavations may be seen in the National Museum, Bangkok, and a preliminary account has been given by Sørensen, in ‘North-South Indications of a Prehistoric Migration into Thailand’, East and West, N.S., vol. 14, Rome, 1963, 211–17Google Scholar—Editor.
