The first archaeological excavations at the site of the ancient Cambodian capital of Longvek have unearthed physical evidence that the city was a regional trading hub, helping dispel historical notions that Cambodia underwent centuries of "dark ages" between the Angkorian and the modern era.Located less than 50 kilometres from Phnom Penh in present-day Kampong Chhnang province, Longvek was the Cambodian capital for almost 200 years following the sack of Angkor by the Siamese in 1431. During excavations last month, a joint team of archaeologists discovered porcelain from as far away as China and Japan in the foundations of Longvek's ancient palace, along with ruins of substantial earthen walls and a bronze workshop. link |
