Our Days in Southeast Asia

We received funding from ASIANetwork Freeman Foundation Student Faculty Summer Fellowship for Emily Powers Dean, Shawn Fehrenbach, Rogelio Rivera, and Mandy Turner -- all NKU students and Dr. Judy Voelker to travel to mainland Southeast Asia in June 2005 to conduct analysis on ceramic material from the archaeological site of Ban Non Wat, northeast Thailand. Our research will familiarize us with Thai culture and society.

Preparing for ascent to Prassat Phnom Rung

Our planned schedule is to work six days a week, with the seventh day set aside for field trips and free time. Yesterday (Sunday) we went to see Khmer sites across Isan (northeast Thailand). Our first stop was the site of Phnom Rung, a religious monument built between the 11th and 13th centuries, on top of a now extinct volcano.
