SUMMARY:From Prasat to Preah Vihear - The Archaeology of Early Theravada Buddhism at Angkor\, Cambodia
DESCRIPTION:Our Society’s founder William Y. Willetts’ interest in Asian art history ranged from Chinese art (which he wrote up in a magisterial volume Foundations of Chinese Art)\, to Indian art (which he gleaned from a six-year stay in India)\, and in Southeast Asian ceramics and textiles (when he relocated to Singapore). Willetts developed a special interest in Angkor\, on which he was writing a guidebook\, but never completed. Like the preceding generations of French scholars\, Willetts could not make sense of Angkor Thom and its Bayon and the decline of Angkor and its transformation from Mahayana Buddhism to Theravada Buddhism. (You can download a pdf of the book here.) \nIn this online Zoom talk\, Dr. Andrew Harris summarized the results of fieldwork undertaken between 2017-2024 investigating the archaeology of ancient Theravada Buddhist prayer-halls (vihara/preah vihear) within Angkor Thom. Known as “Buddhist Terraces” in the archaeological record\, these structures and their connected religious practices are thought to have gradually supplanted ancient Hindu and Mahayana Buddhist temples (prasat) as focal points of Cambodian religious practice and social  order during Angkor’s final centuries as capital of Cambodia (c. 13th-15th centuries)\, yet are entirely undocumented within Angkor’s historical record. Through this talk\,Dr. Harris will discuss how religious transition and social change can be interpreted through the material record using data gathered from survey\, mapping\, excavation\, and artefact analysis. Members can view the video on our Members’ video page. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAndrew Harris earned his PhD in Anthropology (Archaeology) in 2021 at the University of Toronto\, and is currently employed as a postdoctoral research fellow in Southeast Asian Archaeology and Numismatics at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine\, National University of Singapore. He is also an appointed Research Fellow at the Archaeology Centre of the University of Toronto (ACUT). Since 2019\, Dr. Harris has served as the director and coordinator of the Angkor Vihara Project\, a collaborative archaeological research program between ACUT and the APSARA National Authority in Cambodia investigating the religious transition of Angkorian society to Theravada Buddhism through monastic construction and settlement c. 13th-16th centuries CE. Dr. Harris has recently published on his research in World Archaeology\, Asian Archaeology\, and Artibus Asiae\, with a chapter in the upcoming Brill Handbook on Memory: Southeast Asia.
