webfact Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Pre-historic tools, pottery found in Nakhon Ratchasima plantation By Prasit Tangprasert The Nation Polished stone tools and pottery pieces, some of them more than 2,500 years old, were unearthed recently from a tapioca plantation in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima. Fine Arts Department officials went to Khon Buri district to investigate the pieces and have brought them to the Phimai National Museum for display to the public later. Curator Athitaya Thirachoti, along with museum officials went to inspect the nine archaeological pieces, which included two pottery pieces and seven polished stone axes. Sompong Salawan, a resident of Taling Chan district in Bangkok, had discovered the pieces in a plantation after the area's soil was severely eroded by floodwater resulting in a one-foot-deep hole. Officials estimated that the nine items were from a pre-historic time dating back to about 2,500-3,000 years ago, while the period of several other pottery pieces were yet to be determined. The officials have brought all the items for keeping in the museum pending a detailed inspection by an expert archaeologist from the Fine Arts Office 10 in Nakhon Ratchasima province before the items would be displayed for public viewing.

Lupatria Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 You will find lots of slightly more prehistoric tools here in every workshop of any kind offering maintenance, and don't be surprised about the professionals at work don't wear bear skin anymore.

Antonymous Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Dear The Nation, Here's what we want to know. This is what would make the article interesting and useful to anyone who owns land here: 1. Were the owners of the land compensated for giving up their find to officials from the museum? How much? 2. What are the laws in Thailand regarding such finds on land that is privately owned? 3. And related to the previous question, have any limitations of use of this land now been imposed on the land owner? Does the owner have to allow 'officials' to dig and find? Thank you.

The end of prehistory therefore came at very different dates in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently.

I doubt too much is known in any great detail about many parts of the world other than Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilization. Apparent stone age type items are quite a significant find.
