泰国东北部考古调查的新证据表明，水稻种植向湿地种植过渡，这将有助于提高产量和盈余。这一证据，结合新的日期和古气候数据，表明这一转变发生在铁器时代，当时气候日益干旱，考古记录中出现了一些更广泛的社会变化。这是第一次有可能将生存经济的变化与区域气候和水资源管理战略的转变以及东南亚国家社会的出现联系起来。
New evidence from archaeological investigations in north-east Thailand shows a transition in rice farming towards wetland cultivation that would have facilitated greater yields and surpluses. This evidence, combined with new dates and palaeoclimatic data, suggests that this transition took place in the Iron Age, at a time of increasingly arid climate, and when a number of broader societal changes become apparent in the archaeological record. For the first time, it is possible to relate changes in subsistence economy to shifts in regional climate and water-management strategies, and to the emergence of state societies in Southeast Asia.
