Early historic landscapes and the rise of centralised states on the Mekong Delta, Cambodia

湄公河三角洲地区是东南亚早期国家发展的摇篮。对柬埔寨早期历史名城吴哥博雷的考古研究揭示了文化景观的本质，但这些信息还没有被记录下来，记录下了自然景观的变化和变化无常。通过跨学科研究，我们将：(I)描述该地区在早期历史时期的区域和区域环境变异性；以及(Ii)评估这种变异性可能对(A)人与景观之间的相互关系以及(B)湄公河三角洲早期历史中心的出现产生的影响。

The Mekong River delta region was a hearth of early state development in SE Asia. Archaeological research at the early historic city of Angkor Borei, Cambodia, is revealing the nature of the cultural landscape, but this information is yet to be articulated with records of change and variability in the 'natural' landscape. Through interdisciplinary research, we will: (i) characterise the region's local and regional environmental variability in the early historic period; and (ii) assess the influence such variability may have had on (a) interrelationships between people and landscapes, and (b) the emergence of early historic centres in the Mekong delta.
