3000 Year Old Human Skeleton At Ban Chiang
Ban Chiang in Udon Thani Province [ 50 kilometers east of Udon Thani City ] is the remains of a prehistoric settlement situated on a hill safe from the flooding of the rainy season and surrounded by lowlands. In 1992 UNESCO declared Ban Chiang a World Heritage Site. Carbon dating of soil samples and objects found at different levels indicate that the first prehistoric people lived here 5,600 years ago and occupied the site for 3000 years. Evidence of material use and funeral rituals reflect changes over this time in their society. - See more at: http://www.thailandsworld.com/th/national-museums/ban-chiang-prehistoric-settlement/index.cfm#sthash.I9pgNgSW.dpuf
