Central Thailand

BELOW I turned the page of the Thai National Geographic to find myself looking at a photo that I took of burial 15 at Khok Phanom Di in March 1985.

The Princess of Khok Phanom Di

The Princess was not buried alone. Alongside her was a grave big enough for an adult, which contained the ochre covered skeleton of a little girl aged about 18 months, covered in about 15,000 shell beads and, lo and behold, a tiny clay anvil for shaping pots.
