The archeological team of the Angkor International Centre of research and documentation of APSARA National Authority continues to study and completes the excavation of the site of the ceramic kilns at Dei Chhnang Gate of Angkor Thom, according to a news release of APSARA National Authority on March 21.

 

Tin Tina, Deputy Director of the Angkor International Centre of research and documentation, said that in late 2019, his team excavated on an ancient mound called Tuol Trapeang Bos to confirm if that mound was an ancient ceramic kiln. Through the excavation results, the team found the structure of the low-temperature kiln, which was used for ceramic production such as pots, water jars, and tiles.
