Ban Non Wat: settlement, chronology, and households

Reviewed place and institutional names are retained; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The dating study combines stratigraphic order with radiocarbon measurements to investigate transitions among Neolithic, bronze-using and iron-using phases. Higham's later discussion situates the site within continuing arguments about dating, farming and social change rather than treating chronology as a settled regional template.

Prehistoric settlement and chronological research Approximately second millennium BCE–early first millennium CE; modeled phases and modern research distinguished Stratigraphy, radiocarbon models, excavated objects and community-linked research Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand: approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound, underwater or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting, ritual or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Ríos, trabajo, instituciones religiosas y poder cambiante

Valles fluviales y conexiones regionales

Upper Mun Valley settlements in the Khorat Plateau; dating at one village does not establish a uniform regional sequence. Modern place names provide orientation only and never reconstruct territorial, ethnic, linguistic, religious or sovereignty boundaries.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Household and status differences are research questions, not evidence of one named kingdom. Ban Non Wat's modeled sequence is not a universal Southeast Asian clock; metalwork does not by itself establish a state, ethnicity or living descent.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and religious or heritage institutions retain their own authority. This atlas cannot establish identity, religion, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Ban Non Wat's modeled sequence is not a universal Southeast Asian clock; metalwork does not by itself establish a state, ethnicity or living descent. Events after 1500 CE are separately identified as later outcomes, research, conservation or reception.

A modeled sequence The dating study combines stratigraphic order with radiocarbon measurements to investigate transitions among Neolithic, bronze-using and iron-using phases.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. Early settlement phases

    The chronology places early farming settlement before the bronze-using phases; modeled ranges are not exact foundation dates.

    [S1]

  2. Copper-base metal entered the sequence

    The dating model associates metal objects with changing practices, not proof of one replacement population.

    [S1]

  3. Excavation program developed

    Chang describes several excavation seasons directed jointly with Thai Fine Arts Department archaeologists.

    [S3]

  4. Chronology and interpretation debated

    The model and subsequent discussion address both sample quality and the social implications of the sequence.
