Results and Discussion
This paper will not attempt to provide a full range of descriptive data from the investigations. It focuses instead on the preliminary results of recent analyses of some types of archaeological materials and evidence, with special reference to chronology and cultural sequence, settlement pattern, diet and consumption pattern, and long-distance trade/exchange.
Chronology and Occupational Sequence
Previous interpretations about the cultural sequence of Sab Champa were based on artifact correlation and art historical comparison. These relative dating methods suggest that Sab Champa is a multi-phase site dating from the LateNeolithic period to the early historic period known as the Dvaravati period. However, refined chronology and absolute dates have not been obtained.
