Rabbit Hole Central

March 22, 2024 1:44 PM

Hi! I’m Noel – an archaeologist from Singapore living and working in Bangkok. I’ve been involved with Southeast Asian archaeology for over a decade now, and have been interested in it for a lot longer. Growing up in Singapore, there was not much opportunity to learn about archaeology in a formal setting – there are no archaeology degrees offered in the country, and the closest was in high school history. So I began this website in 2006 to collect news about the archaeology of the region, mainly as a way for me to learn what was going on in the region, and since then the site has grown to become an educational resource for the public

Rabbit hole central indeed! This is so interesting; thank you for posting it.

Thanks for linking directly to the video lecture list, Wobbuffet—I’ve started watching the one about glass and stone beads in Ancient Cambodia. The magpie in me is happy!

Thanks infini! I've been working on a story setting based on ancient Southeast Asia and this is going to be super useful!
