Important Ancient Sites in Thailand

Most data on archaeological sites in Thailand disseminated via the internet is tourism-oriented and lacks citation of data sources. Therefore, "enhancing credibility" and "specifying sources" of archaeological site data is necessary in the era where the internet is a medium that is easily and quickly accessible. Otherwise, data on archaeological sites on the internet will become superficial and lack credibility. Due to one of the main duties of the Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (Public Organization) being to serve as an anthropological data repository, the implementation of the "Database of Important Archaeological Sites in Thailand" is an effort to develop the Centre into a data source for research and a national-level repository for academic data on archaeological sites with cited sources. The selection of archaeological sites for inclusion in the database will prioritize sites with significant archaeological and historical value in each province, covering all 77 provinces first, by selecting approximately 2-3 sites per province. This allows data users to see that all 77 provinces in Thailand have archaeological sites, whether they are thousands of years old or only a few hundred or tens of years old, all of which have value for studying the history of people in the province. Once all 77 provinces are covered, data entry for other important archaeological sites not yet documented will proceed.
