Praise for the Ban Chiang Monograph Suite
“What has been produced is the most comprehensive monograph ever published in the field of archaeometallurgy.” James Muhly in foreword, Volume 2A, pp. xvii-xviii
“This volume is exceptional as the theses advanced are critically examined, logically presented and evidence driven.” David Warburton in Antiquity 2019, vol. 93, p. 1400
“A more thorough, introspective and critical examination of this, or any other, set of material would be difficult to find!” Katheryn Linduff in Asian Archaeology 2020, p. 1
“The work’s tone is combative, to be sure, but for reasons that, as I have endeavored to explain and with apologies to Higham, strike me as crucially important and eminently justified …I believe this work should be required reading for students of archaeometallurgy generally. It is exceptionally well written and accessible to those new to the field. “ Bryan Pfaffenberger. 2021. Advances in Archaeomaterials, 2:3
“This volume is a must-have for archaeologists and archaeology students working in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world as a theoretically-rich interpretive case study …A contextualised and theoretically sophisticated appraisal of socio-economic organisation is a welcome addition...” Halcrow and Chang 2021. Asian Perspectives 60(2):464
