Bronze age burials in excavation pit at Ban Prassat

We took a bus from Bangkok to Khorat, where we met our driver Mr. Nim, who took us on to the Phimai Inn. Our first full day in Phimai was a busy one. We spent most of the day driving to various places related to our research, including the Phimai regional office of the Thai Fine Arts Department, various local villages, and archaeological sites. The open air museum at Ban Prasat was the highlight of the day. We saw three excavation units which contain burials and other features in situ. We were amazed to see the depth of these units, which were generally about 25 feet deep.
