Reviewing the kilns and stoneware ceramics of Angkor

Abstract

This study reviews selected literature on Angkorian stoneware ceramics and kilns within the present day borders of Cambodia. Despite the relative youth of Angkorian ceramic and kiln research, this field of study has grown exponentially in the last decade as more kiln and ceramic sites have been found and excavated. As research is conducted at the various sites, new information is produced and interesting avenues of research have been pursued. The purpose of this thesis is to summarize previous research on Angkorian stoneware ceramics, and discuss key debates, issues, and future research paths.
