Pre-historic tools, pottery found in Nakhon Ratchasima plantation

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.

Sounds like axe throwing might have been more popular than pottery classes ..

So about 4 to 500 years before Jesus Christ;
we can not decently speak of pre-history;

 

 

 

The first period of Egyptian civilization dates back to 3,000 BC, thus 5,000 years of existence.

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.

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.

Come on, what have you found? 555

Got a few axes to grind though.

From Wikipedia: The earliest writing systems appeared c. 5,300 years ago, but it took thousands of years for writing to be widely adopted, and it was not used in some human cultures until the 19th century or even until the present. 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.

There is an abundance of pre-historic tools hanging around the

Pattaya area at present,  if they need more

I think perhaps pre-history was intended to be understood of this part of Asia. 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.
