By reconstructing the precise annual history based on the examination of annually laminated sediments, this project elucidated how the rise and fall of rice-cultivating and fishing civilizations in monsoon Asia had influenced by climatic fluctuations. As for Khmer civilization in particular, an archaeological investigation of Phum Snay yielded a series of new findings including the discovery of an altar of water. It became clear that the rice-cultivating and fishing civilization is a civilization centered on water and that the climatic change had a considerable impact for the collapse of Angkor civilization.
