via Bangkok Post, 03 March 2022: An ongoing series focusing on the partners organising the IPPA Congress in November, this one being the Archaeology Alumni Association of Thailand.
The upcoming IPPA conference highlights ground-breaking possibilities of time and trace
Bygone days appear to some as “dead and buried” or just simply the good old days. But to many others, the trace of time is never really depleted and becomes vivid when one understands its implications in the present or future.
Archaeology is a multidisciplinary area of study best described as how the past in the shape of what was once lost and forgotten resurfaces to tell its stories.
“The skeletal remains recently discovered by a group of archaeologists in Pang Mapha, Mae Hong Son, depict more than just how humans existed years ago,” explains Damrongrith Somboonsiri, Vice Chairman of the Archaeology Alumni Association of Thailand. “With new innovative methods and technologies, archaeologists have been able to mould the face of the dead with artificial flesh and other elements and transform an unknown white skull into a body with an identity.”
