摘要:
Approximately 4,00-2,500 years ago, assumptions derived from comparative analyses of artifacts suggest migration of Austro-Asiatic and Austronesian-speaking groups into mainland and island Southeast Asia, accompanied by agricultural skills. In Thailand, there is evidence linkages via overland and maritime routes. Consequently, evidence indicates potential waves of population movements and interaction accompanied by advancements in metallurgy. Archaeological evidence in the region suggests a cultural diversity that may represent a diversity of populations in the past.The high mountainous region in Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son Province, northwest Thailand, adjacent to Myanmar, exhibits evidence of a wooden coffin culture originating between 2,300-1,100 years ago.  This culture displays a unique burial tradition with teak trees. The wooden coffins include exquisite carvings with handles on either side, while the supporting pillars are sculpted in the form of human and animals. The site was meticulously selected, and the interments comprised an array of artifacts including cord-marked pottery, clothes, woven textile, glass beads, bronze and iron ornaments, iron implements, lacquered wooden vessels, basketry, decorated human teeth, in addition to offerings such as pigs, chickens, dogs, and civets.  These cultural traits signify a collective cultural heritage of the southern border region of present-day China. This presentation provides: 1) a brief overview of the cultural history of highland Pang Mapha; and 2) archaeological evidence of Log Coffin Culture; and a comparative study and proposal the potential connection with contemporary archaeological records from sites in the southern border of China.
