Romancing the Stone

Jan 25th, 2007 by


Romancing the Stone:
Celebrity Archaeologist Talk at Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient (Siem Reap)

Dating temples in Southeast Asia
Dr. William SOUTHWORTH
Postdoctoral Research Fellow,
International Institute of Asian Studies, Leiden University

EFEO says: “The talk will examine the different methods used for dating temple architecture, including the use of historical analogy, epigraphy, art history, architecture and archaeology. The talk will illustrate both the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, with examples taken from the study of ancient Champa, Java and Cambodia. The purpose of the discussion will be to show both the problems of temple dating and the advantages of a multi-disciplinary approach in solving questions of chronology.”

William has got to be one of the biggest temple enthusiasts in existence. When other people are wilting from the heat, he’s examining stone erosion patterns. Is it any wonder that he is one of the most popular temple talkers on the chat circuit? Attendance is free, but get there early to beat the crowds. It’s about time that archaeologists got their day in the sun; why should rock stars get all the attention anyway?

Monday 29th of January 2007, at 6:30 pm at the EFEO. (English)

Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) Siem Reap
